" I take Citracal calcium citrate with vit D. I take 4 per day for a total of 1600 mg of calcium, and 2000 IU of vitamin D. I don't take them all at once though, 2 in the morning and 2 at night at the same time as my 2 multis. "

" My favorite so far is Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Crystals. Two scoops in a bottle of water 2x a day is an easy way to get it all in, and it gives water a nice little tang without alot of sweetness. You can find them at a good price on bariatriceating.com "

" I use the bariatric Advantage Crystals , like bighotmomma...not on that...we now need it three times a day to =1600 mg. Up from the 1200 they'd been saying for gastric bypass patients.

I also add it into s/f applesauce and crystal lite drinks. Tasteless for the most part, and you just stir into your drink, soup, whatever.
