Can you have both together, or is it better to have them at different times/days? I knows there's some really good benefits with both, and I want to start incorporating them in my diet. But I can't really find anything that tells me if you can have them together or not.

Yeah I am not sure about seeds I seem to recall something about not until after 6 months? I could be wrong though best to check with your team

You made me curious so I tried googling it too. All I found was another absorption issue. I read that physic acid in seeds can affect the absorption of other minerals like Calcium and Iron. Only for a couple hours though actually it doesn’t specifically mention chia and flax seeds so maybe they don’t contain a lot. I guess some people soak them to reduce the acid. You may want to look a little further into it. Or maybe ask your nutritionist.

My apologies. I meant to add that I'm looking into the ones that are already ground up, not whole seeds.

I wouldn't think there would be an issue of having them both together, but check with your dietitian just to be sure.

I talked to my surgeon's office and they said as long as they are ground up, it's fine to have both. There's so many health benefits to them, and there's A LOT of Fiber in them, so I've started incorporating them in my Breakfast and lunch (typically chia in the morning and flax in the afternoon). Just trying to do this right, you know? The healthier the better.

      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.
