calcium

Hi guys, I went to Dr. Wynn's office today and Vernette was kind enough to give me one of her calcium chews. She buys them at Gnc and they taste like a caramel. This is so helpful to me since the tums make me nauseous. They are called activecal. Dr. Wynn also told me that I can chew one adult vitamin instead of the Flintstones, which make me nauseous as well.

Good information Debbie. How are you doing otherwise? You know we are nosey and want to know how much you've lost. How are you feeling? Hope all is well. I am a short timer. 2 days then Monday. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Elissa, I down 21.8 pounds. I'm feeling good, still trying to get in all the protein and water. It's getting better though. This morning I had a protein shake with 35 grams of protein. I was half way there by 11, so it felt pretty good. Each day I get a little more in. I'm really excited for you. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery. God Bless!!!!!!!!! deb

Debbie, Great news on your weight loss!!! Keep up the good work. Funny how our tastes change isn't it? I think mine are just now starting to get back to normal. Keep up the good work. Tammy

Hey, Deb! That's really interesting about the Activecal...I did a look-up on it at GNC and this is what it said: http://www.drugstore.com/qxp69179_333181_sespider/gnc/activecal_500mg_calcium_caramel_chews.htm The debate between calcium citrate and calcium carbonate come in to play here, but that is a personal decision. I'm glad that things are going well for you, hon! Keep doing your best!! (((Hugs))) -Karen

Thanks Debbie - that is good info. If after 1 month you are interested in taking the calcium citratre which is more easily absorbed - Citrical pills are not too big. You have to take 2 a day to get the 1200mg. You are doing so well - off to a great start!

Glad to hear you are doing so well. I also got pretty tired of the Flinstones. 21 lbs. is great. Welcome to the post world. Rob
