Does anyone have a chewable calcium citrate that they like?  If so, where did you buy it?

Also looking for B Complex chewable.

Any help is appreciated.

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

I like the Calcet Creamy Bites.  They are lemon cream flavor and taste good.  I guess they're a little expensive, but I feel like spoiling myself these days.  I bought it online at bariatriceating.com.

I haven't looked for a B Complex chewable.

Thanks Sandi.  I've seen these on line and glad to know that they are tasty, but they sure are expensive for how many I would have to take every day to get in 1500 g. 

What do you take as a B complex?

Hi Wanda,

I get our calcium from Bariatric Advantage.  My husband likes the lemon chews while I prefer the chocolate lozenges.  For the B Complex, well, we just take our Biotin and B-12 separately and we buy it at different places.  The B-12's gotta be in sublingual form.  The rest of the B's we just get in our daily vitamin chewable, which we also get from Bariatric Advantage.

I prefer the Bariatri Advantage. ..Chewy Bites...Chocolate is my favorite.....yes they are expensive....I take 6 a day....1500 total.

I sometimes use Calcium Citrate Chewable Wafers. There is only one place in town that carries them. You could go to their site...Twinlab.... and check them out.....they are kind of a citrus flavor....I need 6 of them a day to get the amount I need....still kind of spendy.

I get my Vitamin B and others at Walmart....Spring Valley brand.

Good luck!!!!

Calcium Citrate has no taste and you can actually chew it if you want, but it is chalky. I cru**** up and mix with baby food or apple sauce twice a day.

Bariatric Advantage has the chews and the losenges.  The chews are delicious but expensive.  The losenges are ok. 

The Bariatric Advantage chewable Complete Multi Formula has  B-1, B-2, B-6 and B-12.  However, my Nut has me supplement the B-12 with sublingual liquid.  She says some bariatric patients may not absorb chewable B-12 well.  

Hope this helps.

I use Bariatric Advantage chewable lozenges -- I like the chocolate flavor. They are pricey, and once I finish the current jarful I will look elsewhere for a less expensive alternative.
As to B complex -- my surgeon says VSG patients don't require this, since we do not have malabsorptive issues -- I find a 'feel-good' boost from the sublingual B complex that I buy at Trader Joe's.
Do your protein, lots of liquids, exercise regularly (sadly, this is not easy for me!), and develop good sleep habits. You will love your sleeve!
