Calcium Citrate

Can anyone recommend a calcium suppliment? My instructions are to take chewable calcium from citrate and not carbonate. I am 2 weeks post op and have not started taking it yet because we can't find it. Any suggestions?

Hi Darlene, I had the Citracal Creamy Bites, need to take 3 a day. However, I like them before surgery and can't stand them post op (to sweet for me). I went to the nutritionist at spectra yesterday for my 3 wk check. I had tried the Cinnamon Flavored Lozenges put out by bariatric advantage (spectra carries them). I am tolerating them much better, feel like I can get all 3 in now with no problems. Hope this helps. Patty.

Thanks Patty, My husband just found them at Target, they only had choc fudge and I fear that may be too sweet but rather that then nothing. I have an appt with Spectra to follow up with the nutritionist but they want another 70bucks so I may cancel it. I feel like I have a handle on the protien and now the calcium. I follow up with Dr. Murr on the 30th. Thanks Again, Darlene

Hi Darlene Check out for calcium citrate tabs http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Lab-Calcium-Citrate-Chewbles/dp/B00016REEI/sr=8-1/qid=115967927 0/ref=sr_1_1/102-9201648-9370558?ie=UTF8&s=hpc They will only last about 12 days when you take 2.5, 2x a day to equal 1000mg of calcium. However, I tried these at my 1 mo appt and they weren't too bad. Lisa C.
