What are the benefits of chia seeds?

Along with being very nutritionally dense, the major benefit of chia to us is that its outer membrane absorbs & retains Water, carrying it into the intestine naturally relieving the dry, hard stools many of us suffer with.

Thanks OTR. So as long as things move along easily I guess they would have no other benefit to take them.

They'd be in the natural/health food section in higher end grocers, also available at herbalist stores, Vitamin Shoppe, & Amazon.< /p>

They're also a great source of Omega 3's, we lose our hair loosing weight this fast because we don't get enough omegas with our diet restrictions. Folic acid + omega 3's = great hair. Botin helps you digest omega's but if' we're not getting enough it's a waste of money. Better to get some salmon oil, chia seeds + folic acid. Just make sure you only take the salmon oil after a meal and yes, it'll help things run smoothly too (as well as being one of the best anti-inflammatories on the market).

      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.
