Low Calcium Levels, Advice from Post Ops Please?

I'm 8 months post op (lap BPD no DS) and have had three successive labs come back showing my calcium as low. I had been taking Citrical 2x daily, as well as incorporating dairy into my diet. On the advice of my surgeons office, I'm now taking 4 Citrical (yes, Calcium CITRATE) daily and working more to push dairy in hopes of upping my levels. I DO NOT take my calcium an iron together as I know that can negate the effectiveness. My question, can anyone else whose been in this position tell me what you did to bring your levels up? (PS: I combed the library with no success) Thanks for any and all suggestions!
