How do you do your calcium?
I too have a hard time getting my calcium in. I have the crystals, I think they taste weird. I HATED the lozenges. I too would like the chews but they are expensive. I take Citracal +D. I cut them in half. I'm 4+ months out. I think it was 9 weeks before my Dr said I could take the tablets.
Hang in there.

I take the calcium citrate chews from Soloray, order online due to less$$ than at the local health food store. Orange flavor, not bad at all. They look like a glucose tablet that diabetics take for low blood sugar. 6 chewables, 2 three times a day, does it for 1500 mg of calcium citrate. I still need to take a separate vit D as there is none in these.
I have tried many chewables, these are the most palatable for me. Best of luck with finding one you can tolerate. Hugs

I take the calcium from BBvitamins.com they come in a yummy orange flavor and they are like my candy to me. 2 in the AM 2 in the PM. They are very reasonably priced, and if you go to the site, you can request free samples. These are baritric vitamins (calcium0 and come in the chewables I mentioned above, and also a liquid and a capsule form also bariatric specific. For me i don't like the capsules would rather chew than swallow), and have not tried the liquid, but LOVE the chews. I have tried about every brand of bariatric ones out there and these are a keeper.
