Chia seeds. So you hear about them here a lot especially if you have Constipation. So I have hemmed hawed on get them. They aren't attractive and really I wasn't sure I wanted black specks floating in my shake. But...after trying them...I have to say I am enjoying them..to me it's the texture they give to the shake..I like it! And the add benefit of helping with constipation is an added bonus plus Omega 3s never hurt. So for those of you who have chatted with me about the chia seeds, I humbly bow to your superior knowledge of the product and say.."thank you for putting up with the doubting Thomas while she made up her mind"! I am Piplula and I like Chia seeds.

I'm having 1t of them in my yogurt for lunch today.

So glad you have come over to the seedy side!

They are also good in pudding/yogurt, especially if you like tapioca. I really like them crunchy in my Protein Shakes, but to get the full effect of Constipation relief I think it's best to let the shake sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes and let them gel. The shake gets real thick, it's more filling, and the seeds work their magic better.

I did like them both crunchy and thick and soft! And I found that to be astounding because I am very finicky about textures....think Jello....yuck! But chia seeds and me I think could be great friends!

Why do they have to be in the frig? I've got really sensitive teeth (Sjorgrens Syndrome) and can't handle cold drinks very easily.

Thanks!

My shake wasn't in the frig. My was left out at room temp and I drank it at room temp. I enjoyed it! I think Butta likes his drinks cold. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
