Need Advice on Calcium....

Hi All, I had RNY on Oct 28th, 2009. I'm doing GREAT! I've lost a total of 67 lbs since surgery (slow and steady which my doctor is very pleased with) and from my highest weight 147 lbs. Just saw my doctor on March 16th. All my nutrition levels are doing perfect and all within range of normal but I've noticed my fingernails seem to be splitting and a bit more brittle. I completely forgot to ask my doctor but just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if so how did you deal with it? I'm taking 2000 ml of Calcium per day which seems to be satisfactory to keep my levels at normal. So since my calcium levels are normal, I don't want to increase my dosage. Is there something else I can do to help strengthen my nails? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
