So I normally buy my calcium from GNC but yesterday when I went to stock up before I leave for a trip tomorrow, they were out and their website says that particular calcium is backordered so I cant even order it and have it shipped to my destination. I tried vitamin shoppe and they didnt have jack either. So... where are people buying their calcium locally instead of online?

I buy mine online as well - see another reason I want a store - ugghh Anyhow I have the Bariatric Advantage Lemon - raspberry and chocolate and the wild cherry lozenges - if you don't find any - give me a call and I can probably supplement you until you get back !!

Thanks Lisa!! I managed to find a liquid called Wellesse at a Rite Aid in Quincy. I never shop there which is why I didnt know they carried it. So atleast I wont run out on my trip!! Whew!!

You're in Quincy - right?

The most local BARIATRIC store to you is in NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Down south it is in North Dartmouth.

If you're only using generic calcium citrate products -- you can get those anywhere -- they just are huge to swallow or taste awful.

____

First, you know about GastricBypassSupplements.com, right? They are a super-cool sponsor of MM.net, but they are also sortakindabutnotreally local to me. You can visit their actual store, Faunce Corner Nutrition in North Dartmouth, MA.

Marc, the store's owner, and his staff are very helpful and personable, and totally worth the visit.

Find them at:

Faunce Corner Nutrition
350 Faunce Corner Road
North Dartmouth, MA 02747
(508) 998-2155

Next, Cape Cod Nutrition, in Hyannis and Plymouth, MA. I haven't been in to the Hyannis location, but they do carry a host of things we can use. The Plymouth store has a limited selection of protein items, and some vites and supplements, but they do not carry bariatric-specific items. (Though I have asked.) I've met two of the employees, one seemed awfully new and didn't know what I was talking about when I asked for a certain protein product, but they were both pleasant.

Find them at:

Cape Cod Nutrition Corner
75 Iyannough Rd. Hyannis, MA 02601
221 Colony Place Plymouth, MA 02360
1-888-666-3058

Up north? You can visit Nashua Nutrition -- which may be the only bariatric-only shop that I am aware of in our area. I've been there, they've got a nice spread of WLS foods and supplements, I left with a big bag of goodies when we visited.

Find them at:

Nashua Nutrition 522 Amherst Street Suite 1 Nashua, NH 03063

Rite Aide has a GNC section ...a whole row actually. Not sure if they have what you are looking for but if you have a Rite Aide nearby than it might be worth the trip.
