What form of calcium are you all taking?  Chewable, capsules?  I still need to get some and am not sure where the best place to buy them is.  I am taking the Bariatric vitamins, and getting B12 shots but really need to start in on the calcium.

I take Caltrate 600 +D. They are chewable but taste really good. I take 3 of these a day. Hope this helps!!!!

Check with your Doctor/Nutritionist about Caltrate.  It is Calcium Carbonate NOT Calcium Citrate making it harder to absorb.  :-)

I take bariatric fusion vitamins ans was told that if I take the entire dose per day (4) that they have enough calcium and I don't need extra. I have my labs done in 2 weeks so we'll see if that's working. I tried the chewable calcium from bariatric advantage and I couldn't get 3 down a day so I hope this is working!

I've just recently started with the bariatric fusion multi's so no need to take calcium...but before I was taking the liquid calcium with vitami D from the vitamin shoppe...blueberry flavored....it really wasn't  too bad...

Thanks everyone.  I need to head to the store one night this week and pick something up.  I'd rather do a chewable or liquid myself, unless they make them small enough to swallow!
