I really hate my calcium...and any chewables. Can I take tablets or gel capsules? Will I absorb it?  Do you know of any good calc citrate that I can take that isn't chewable?

You can take capsules or tablets and yes, you'll absorb it.

 Have you tried the chocolate chewies? I can't stand the chalky ones so I ordered some of the chocolate and raspberry chews from bariatricadvantage.com. If I can't stand those I"m moving to pill form if I can. Gettin' all those vitamins down has been hard! At least I finally found the gummy multivitamins for adults at Costco!

Just bought the Rasberry and Chocolate calcium chews from Vitalady.
They are great!
The multi vitamin is a killer for me. The only thing I dislike about the surgery!
I've got to find a better way to get my vitamin down.

I understand your frustration! I am SOOOOOO TIRED of all those nasty huge chalky chewables. Although technically I am not supposed to until next week I started swallowing my pills and I am doing fine with it. This weekend I will go out and but new calcium (Citracal Petities) as well as new vitamins (Centrum)... I cant take another chewable! Lol
