Calcium

My team said absolutely. I have a wicked hard time with pills swallowing even the most microscopic ones, then I tend to burp all day with such a gross after taste, chewables was torture getting them down so he suggested gummies and BAM I have no problems AND all my bloodwork has been coming back fantastic.
So weird how different bariatric teams give such different instructions. My team said NOT to take gummies. It has something to do with the coating that supposedly makes them less able to be absorbed. Idk, but I still take my Hair, Skin, & Nails biotin gummies daily, and pills for all other vitamins.

My team has never really said other then "you do what you have to do" when I was having difficulties getting everything in with dividing out the meds. I would miss some with the timing and they said it was better to take them all together to get some benefits. I can do calcium pills as they are way to big. I have been doing the chews but they are not feasible to cost to have my kid start taking them..nor do I think she would like them. I only had blood work at 6 months and nothing since but it was great then

Have you ever tried any of the vitamin's from Bariatric Advantage? They have calcium citrate chewy bites they are sugar-free. I take 2 a day. They do not taste good but not bad either. I was told it is after 9months when the numbers good down if they are going to. Mine were still good when they checked them at 3 months.
