Bariatric AdvantageCalcium Citrate Chewy Bites 500 mg - for Bariatric Surgery Patients - Vitamin D3 - Sugar-Free Chewable Calcium Supplement - Bariatric Chews - Assorted Fruit - 90 Count

These arrived intact and undamaged. The bag has some signs of wear and tear, but otherwise it's fine. The product inside is lovely small squares of caramel which smelled fabulous when I first opened the bag. I chose a chew at random and opened it. It came off the wrapper with no problem, and wasn't deformed or melted. It was just like eating a piece of candy - a little hard at first, but as soon as it started to warm up in my mouth, it softened up and was easy to chew. I'm not quite two weeks out from my surgery, so I made sure to let it melt completely before I swallowed it, and it went down easily. I've been taking them for two days now, and haven't gotten a bad one. These were on the list I got from my surgeon's office of approved supplements. I like that these have vitamin D as well as calcium citrate, so I don't have to have an additional supplement. Big bonus - it's delicious! It doesn't taste exactly like a piece of caramel candy, but it's darn close. Close enough that they are treat to take instead of a struggle. I'm very happy with them, and will probably end up subscribing to have them sent automatically rather than having to place a new order once a month.

This brand was the very first Calcium chews I used post surgery. They taste great! No chalky taste at all! They are probably my favorite. The only draw back is they are on the higher side of cost. The good thing is it’s almost like a treat to chew them. They do not upset my stomach and they go down easy.

cherry calcium chews are great and easy to eat and swallow. They smell and work great.

Very good product. sometimes the paper sticks but all in.. it is good tasting and does what it is supposed to. Easy to chew, swallow and has the nutrients I expected. I was taking the horse pills before.. this is a much better option. I take 3 chewables a day.

I was given the option by the bariatric nutritionist to get this kind the Chewy Bites or the large chewable tablets. I have both but I am really liking these chewy bites. I have the multi pack with Chocolate, caramel, peanut butter chocolate and coconut, and I have a bag of the Tropical Orange also a good flavor. you get 90 chews for the price. I have to take 1 chew 3 times a day. I was thrilled when I found this brand on Amazon as they are a tiny bit cheaper on here.They are very easy to chew and swallow, The coconut chew tends to get very soft very quickly so I have my pill box in a cooler location so they don't stick to the wrapper. But the others are no issues at all. So far my levels are very good with my last bood test so these are working great. They are sugar free. No isssues when swallowing so no pain at all. While chewing you will feel it already melting away. Highly recommend this brand. they have a wide range of flavors to pick from.

They taste good and work well. They’re just expensive.

If you're starting on your WLS journey, know that you will NEED to take supplemental calcium every day for the rest of your life. Its not an option, its a physical requirement. You will be spending tons of money on these supplements and go through brand after brand until you find one you either like or tolerate, hopefully both. Save yourself some $$ and start out with these in coconut. The mildest flavor and texture of the 2 dozen flavors and brands I've tried.I was a *unlucky* patient and had huge change in taste perception - everything tasted weird almost immediately after surgery, and after a year its still present. Every other flavor, like raspberry, chocolate, or caramel. NOPE. Instant regret and nausea. Coconut was the only one that was mild enough in taste and smell and texture for me to be able to take and meet my nutritional requirements. (Also that meets the medical guidelines by ASMBS)Good luck - take your supplements!

Chocolate is greatThe caramel taste terrible
