This is what my NUT said about Chia or Chia seeds, as they are mostly seen, do have Fiber because they are a seed. Iron is minimal in them, so not a very adequate source.

That's what mine said, you need to ask your own NUT to see what they say!! Every NUT is different.

I've started using them in my yogurt, and they really curb the appetite. I think these will be a lifesaver for my liquid pre-op starting next week!

Anyone using these? Apparently they're super good for you and promote weight loss and give you tons of energy naturally. You can add them to any meal because they're so tiny and tasteless. I realized 4 hours after eating them I was exhausted and perked right up after another scoop. They're pretty awesome if you ask me

I don't soak them. Just add them to yogurt or anything that isn't solid

I add them to my shakes, wait 15 minutes and you have a thicker shake and a ton of energy. They also help move things along, if you know what I mean.

I have used them pre-op. I added them to a chocolate soy milk with a scoop of Protein. It turned to a pudding like consistency. I really like it. I want to try it with coconut milk and chocolate Protein Powder. Check out pinterest for lots of ideas!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
