Yes I found gummies at cvs brand for ten dollars. Big bottle! Tastes fine, not chalky. Strawberry banana and peach flavor.

I take a powdered calcium supplement. 1/4 teaspoon twice a day. Either in my protein shake or a little water. Really no taste at all and very economical.

Where did you find them and what dosage if you don't mind me asking. I mean the powder.

Bulk Supplements Pure Calcium Citrate on Amazon. About $17. I take 1/4 teaspoon twice a day and the bag lasts over a year!

Your attachment is a picture of calcium carbonate, which is a big no-no for sleeved people due to the lack of absorption. Sleevers need calcium citrate, which is a far more absorbable forum.

Well, poop. I didn't know that. I've had that bag since before my surgery.
Shows how often I take them. Mostly I eat them like a candy treat, maybe one every couple of months.

I use Bariatric Advantage sugar free Calcium Citrate chews in Peanut Butter Chocolate. It tastes like I'm having one or two peanut butter cups before bed. I got them on Amazon.

WTHeck!?! I didn't know that! I have also been taking calcium carbonate, though I have stolen a hand full of the Bariatric Advantage calcium chewables at my last two bari follow up appointments, last October, and mid January lol!

Ugh!

Okay I'm ordering the correct ones!

TY, RehabNurse!
