6 Weeks Out - Question about Calcium Citrate

Hey guys -

    I am now a tiny bit over six weeks out, and since the pre-op diet, I have lost just about 40 pounds! I feel great, so great, actually.  So, 40 pounds in 8 weeks? Is that normal? I hope so! I'm now at 279.4! Woot, woot! 

I have also started working out; last Wednesday and Thursday I did 2 miles on the treadmill at a pretty rapid pace, and last night I did 1 mile on the treadmill and 20 minutes of strength exercises.  I would have probably died if I did more than 20, but, I'm easing my way into it.  Any exercise advice for 6 weeks out? 


Also, my nut said I was ready for the calcium citrate, but I am in the process of reorganizing and have no idea where my bariatric folder is.  Anyone know how much and what times a day to take it?  I know not to mix it with the multivitamin, but that's about it! 

i take mine 2 pills 2xs a day. usually in the morning and afternoon.

40 pounds in 8 weeks avgs out to like 5 pounds a week. thats super awesome considering you had your surgery like a month ago!! i remember i hit a stall after like the first few weeks (but thats normal)

great job!!!!!!!

hey congrats nikki!!!!!!!!!!!! 40 lbs in almost 2 months is great!! ur doing more than ok.
about the calcium citrate. i order it online bariatrick advantage.com the also have this chocolate canddy that i love love and is lik 10 dlls the bag so is great.

i believe that bariatric advantage change the dosis so now u have to take 3 per day. when before u had 2 take 2.   its 1500 mg per day if i remeber well. let u know latter.

hugs!

yup 1500 per day!

great progress girl, keep up the good work!!

 40lbs in 2 months is fantastico!!!!!  Great job, you must feel so good!  

I take my calcium in the morning with my B12 and then again at night.  They didn't really tell me when to take it, just not with the multi vitamin, which I see you already know.  

Keep up the great work!
