I am having a hard time finding chewable Calcium Citrate in the stores.  Can anyone help?  I bought the Citracal Petites - but OMG - they are anything but petite! On another note, I went for my 3 week follow-up at Duke yesterday and I am 22 pounds down from my surgery date of Jan 10th!!!!!!!!!

I found chewable calcium citrate on www.vitacost.com. I live in the fayetteville NC area and I always get what I ordered within about 3 days.

Citracal Creamy Bites are available at Rite Aid -- they're about 7.99 for enough to last 2 weeks I think.  Caramel, Lemon, and Chocolate flavors.  My favorite is Lemon!  I've heard some people say they found them at CVS, but only one of my Rite Aids locally (Concord) has them on the shelf and I haven't seen them at Kerr, CVS, or Walgreen's.

That's a No-No by my Nut. It gums up and can block the opening of your pouch. Reenie

I love the way Viactiv tastes, but it is Calcium Carbonate which needs the stomach acids to be absorbed.  For those of us that have had RNY, we don't have those acids anymore and cannot absorb the carbonate form.  So, it would be a waste of $$$, and your body would not be getting the calcium that you were trying to give it. I'm not sure if other surgeries can have the carbonate.  Maybe lap band could?
