At 18 months out you should be fine. I've seen a far amount of sleevers use them after the 6th month mark :)

My nut said to avoid them for the first few months.

Omg I tried those in my shake and almost threw up! I'm still pre-op though. Is there a trick that I missed out on?

I saw Chia seeds at GNC. What's the advantage to using them? Do they make you feel more full or give a nutrition boost of some sort? The ones I saw were really expensive, like $40 for a small bag, so I wasn't will to try them until I knew more about.

A little goes a long way! Maybe teaspoon max to begin with until you adjust to them.

you need to let the seeds soak for at least 15 minutes to soften, otherwise it is like eating sand!
