I have yet to find a good tasting Calcium Citrate chewable in stores. My favorite is Calcet Creamy Bites - Lemon flavored. Those you can order online but they are pricey. After 6 months you can take regular pills and I do the Calcet Petites :)

Topic: RE: tufts tonight? 9/20!
So I luv that Meghan - she's just so normal/down to earth, I'm sure we'll get along just fine!
My meeting with Dr.Snydman went well too - she's very nice and approachable. She is new to Tufts - been there about three months.
From what I've understood, typically you can choose your surgeon (assuming they are appropriate) I got this sort of curve thrown at me today... apparently they've been talking about me and which surgeon would be most approrpriate... perhaps it's karma from my earlier statement but guess who they've suggested... yup Shah!
My fiance and I were talking on the way home (yes he sat thru both appointments w/me) he said "what's more important - bedside manor or skill? you've got family, friends, oh, etc for your moral and emotional support - why not see what she has to say and take the October appointment"
I was a little thrown off and figured what the hell, I'll talk to her.
Shikora was my inital choice, he's booking December - so I made that appointment as well - So I'd have a backup plan!
EEK! I left there with 5more appointments LOL!!!

I can, I will.
I can, I will. Topic: Chewable Supplements??
It was suggested that I double up my Daily Vitamin (getting 200% of the Daily) which is no problem, I'm pretty religious about my Daily Vitamin - always have been and chewables area easy to find.
I've also been instructed to start taking Calcium Citrate +D ~ I stopped at a few different pharmacys but can't find the darn chewables!!! Are they really this hard to find at retail stores? Should I just buy them on line???
Any suggestions where I could find any/all my supplements so I can't try 'em out and get into the regime??

Topic: I could almost taste the chili
The nut cleared my for the stage 4 diet and my surgeon put it on hold for two weeks. Waaaaaaaaaaaa. When I told him about the muscle spasms this past weekend he said it was probably nothing but a leak can present with back pain. Well this wasn't back pain, it was muscle spasms but anywho. He doubts it a leak due to my bp, temp, ect but better safe than sorry. So chili is on hold for two weeks.
