I would think you could take the calcium. 120 pounds in 9 months sounds great. It looks like you are at about 70% weight lost and now have to work a little harder at losing the rest. I know I'm at that 70% place and it is getting harder each day to lose. It seems every doctor does test at different times. Mine does them every 3 months for the first 2 years then yearly upto 10 years out.

Citracal is the one you want, of those 2. But you need more than once/day. Caltrate is carbonate form. You could maybe use them up at 1 per day, but otherwise, I wouldn't take them at all.
