Chia seeds or hemp hearts

[Lucky2Lose 184]

My surgical team cleared me for nuts 4 weeks out but never mentioned seeds. Are chia seeds ok if I soak them to where they are soft? How about hemp hearts?

The seeds pose a big risk of getting caught in your staple line. Wait a while longer on that. I don't know what hemp hearts are.

Maybe grind them up in a coffee grinder? That's what my wife does for her Breakfast smoothie thing she makes. But she hasn't had surgery.

Hemp hearts are a superfood. Its basically seeds from hemp. For 3 TBL..ZERO carbs and 10g of Protein. The flavor reminds me of sunflower seeds

Me personally, I never had issue with either of those. But depending on how your surgery was performed your surgeon may want you to wait. That is something that the assistants at the office should be able to answer for you.

Hemp hearts are an excellent choice BTW!

Interesting.

I've never seen those before. Maybe worth looking for.
