GRRRRR stupid vitamins
Ok Im almost 3 weeks out and I am supposed to start on fish/flaxseed oil and calcium citrate. Have you seen the size of these pills? Ok I get that you can cut up or crush the calcium citrate but how are you supposed to swallow a fish oil pill when you arent supposed to swallow a pill larger than the end of your pinky nail???? I also think I am pissed that you can get calcium carbonate pills in a chewable form but not the calcium citrate. I hate taking pills anyway but this is just stupid. I am frustrated!!!
Mary....
I would suggest the following:
1. buy cormega. It is a liquid Omega-3. Dr Keith carries it or you can buy it at a health food store. Akins in OKC carries it I know...I have bought it there. You can also get liquid flaxseed oils that are flavored and dont taste bad at health food stores.
2. For the calcium citrate....Bariatric Advantage makes some chewable ones and they also make lozenges which just kinda melt in your mouth over the course of about 15 minutes. Celebrate Vitamins also makes a really good calcium chew that is lemon flavored.
3. You CAN put that big calcium citrate into some flavored water and it will dissolve. Or mostly dissolve.
4. There are also calcium crystals that have 600 (i think, it may be 500 mg) mg of calcium citrate per serving that you can add to water. They completely dissolve and you get your calcium while you drink your crystal light!~ These are my fav.
Hope this helps....

Ms. Mary!! Glad to see you! I just want to support what Leah said about the calcium crystals. They are awesome. I put them in my protein drink everyday. I drink the nectar ones so they are more like a drink than a shake. But you can put them in crystal light or water and its really good. Good luck. I'm glad to see you finally got your surgery girl!
