Does anyone know where I can find Calcitrate petites? My Walmart doesn't have them. I have the regular size ones, but they are huge and make me gag.

Thanks!

I got mine at Walgreen's a few weeks ago on a BOGO free offer :o)

Just found out I won't be able to take them until awhile after surgery and should stick with liquid or a chewable until then, but at least I can save them until then!

Do you mean Citracal Petites? RNY'ers should be taking calcium citrate?

I've found them everywhere... Walmart, Cub, Target, Walgreens, CVS... just to name a few

I still can't take them per the NUT- not till 6 mons... Tried using a pill cutter to cut them in half, and the sharp edges almost made me scream outloud and scratched my throat. Instead, I dissolve mine in my water/crystal light/etc...  I have been since having surgery...  I don't even taste them and they dissolve easily. I can't afford the more expensive chewable versions...

Hope that helps! Maybe you were looking for the wrong name and thats why you couldn't find them.. I think you mean the Citracal Petites.. thats what I take...

Yes, I meant Citracal petites. Maybe I'm just not seeing them at Walmart. Are they next to the regular Citracal?

My NUT told me I should be taking them right after surgery.

Oh Stacy, GREAT suggestion!!! I was ready to go searching for the $$$ liquid calcium, as I cannot stand the chalkey icky taste of the expensive Bariatric Advantage samples I tried.

I've already spent the money on the Citrical, and didn't even think to just disolve them in my drink. I plan on doing that now!!!! THANKS!

Thanks, everyone! I found them at Walmart this past weekend. I think they were just out of stock the last time I checked.
