 If you mean Viactiv, it's not calcium citrate.  I'm not familiar with Viatin.

 Which brands have you tried?

Bariatric Advantage makes a chewable lozenge and a "chewy bites" type Calcium Citrate.

Celebrate makes good Calcium citrate too.

I take the Citrical Mini's.. they're not chewable, but I can get them down fine at almost 3 years out.  YMMV.

I know Dr. Jawad used to have samples at the front desk I'm hoping Dr. Wier does also.  I still order the Bariatric Advantage vitamins and I'm 4 years out.  The mint calcuim ones are pretty good but you have to chew 3 a day.  I also take their multi vitamin in the capsule form it is so much better than chewables!!  I find capsules really easy to take.  Sometimes they coordinate at support groups to bring in samples of vitamins and protein.  You could ask at the next meeting??
