Since Dr. Felix's office was out of the liquid calcium that I was used to, I decided to try a little something else, i needed my calcium so I asked and they had these lozenges. I guess on the way out the door I read the bottle wrong because I could have sworn it said "chewables" but i quickly found out I was wrong when i turn it around and the directions noted that you put it in your mouth and let it dissolve. WHOOPS! Yeah, rude awakening. It wasn't horrible chewed up, but it did get kind of stuck in my teeth, and the chalkiness of it was a bit unnerving. I won't do that the next time. All in all, these don't have the BEST flavor, I haven't tried the other flavors which are; wild cherry, mint and cinnamon. I can tell you though that chocolate isn't HORRIBLE, but it will get me by. It will help me get my calcium in.
The reason I'm going to post so many calcium things on here (3 to be exact) is because I have tried all three. The reason I absolutely cannot do the "pill" form is because at this point in my a little over 8 weeks post-op I have found that I'm still not cool with swallowing those bigger than normal pills. I just hate swallowing pills in general. Before surgery though it was never a problem you could have given me a horse pill and I could have swallowed it with no issues at all, now, not-so much!
