LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON FROM MY MISTAKES

Hemp Protein and chia seed???

Yes, hemp is a high Fiber complete Protein. The fiber will absorb moisture & carry it into the intestine. Chia gels to accomplish the same thing, and it's packed with micronutrients & antioxidants.

Thank you for sharing your experience. These are the posts that are so helpful to folks like me who want to be completely prepared for any post-op issues that may arise. I sincerely hope you are feeling better and that things are now "moving along nicely". :D

What phase after surgery did you start to use these? Would they both be mixable into Protein shakes or how would you suggest someone use them who is on liquids only?

Or does anybody have Constipation while still on liquids? I have a fear of constipation after having the worst episode of my life about 6 months ago.

Thanks

Chia seeds you should be at least 6weeks post op before adding. I add 2 tbsp of chia to each of my Protein drinks.

Hemp is a powdering use it to make a Protein smoothie with. My recipe changes a bit from time to time, but currently it is

4oz mango purée (Naked)

8oz coconut Water

4tbsp hemp protein (Nutiva 15g)

2tbsp Nectar® fuzzy navel

1tsp KyoGreen (optional) (also tastes horrible)

      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.
