I don't know about the diuretics, but the viactive chews are not calcium citrate, and my Dr. recommends calcium citrate because we don't absorb the carbonate type. There is a new calcium citrate candy like chew available that I got at Walmart, and they are good. I forget the name, but they come in chocolate, carmel and lemon flavors. My weight has been stuck for 2 months as well, and I went to see my primary care physician yesterday to get a referral to see a nutritionist. It seems I can eat lots or I can eat nothing, and still maintain the same weight. Grrrr...it is frustrating. My pcp to referred me to the medifast diet. I checked out their website, and have e-mailed them for the nutritional info. So we'll see. I was wondering if anyone has tried the medifast diet. She said it should jumpstart my weightloss again, but it seems to me that it is similar to other plateau buster diets that have been out there. Hang in there... this shall pass Margo

How do you restart WLS? I've plateaued and cannot lose the last few pounds. I'm not drinking even 60oz of water a day and THAT IS SAD I know...no flaming me I'm very busy. I do get in my vitamins, however some days I forget. About calcium, can we take the Viactiv Chews? Also, can we take diuretic pills? I seem to be retaining a lot of water and when it gets hot my fingers and ankles swell. How is everyone doing?

Congrats on the news! I am expecting my second grandson in July! Best wishes on your new little one. Linda 367/192/?

Becky, Sorry it has been so long since we have talked! I am confused about your tt. Tricare paid for mine when they did the hernia repair. They determined all the excess skin would put strain on the hernia, and in turn could cause a reoccurance. I would give it a try. Talk to you later, Kimberly

Awwwww, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tracy B 328/156 5'9"
