A pretty versatile nutritious seed. I've made this choc chia pudding for tonight. I'll let you know what it's like. I substituted the maple Syrup with sugar free maple and some stevia.

Hey Kell,

There's one on this link (above) that I tried and it was good. The net is a buzz with chia pudding recipes at the moment, and there's lots of variations. I think once you get the liquid v chia quantities right, you could flavour it with anything :)

I'm eating my pudding now, I'm so surprised by how little of it I can actually fit in me. I think I was done after about 2 tablespoons. And it really did thicken up over night so it had a nice sticky texture, exactly like tapioca. I think chia seeds are the new quinoa.

Lots of insoluble fibre fills you up quick, eh? Heaps of Omega 3 too. I really like it.

Hi everyone, my name is Angie and I'm currently on my pre-op diet in preparation for my February 12th surgery date! I'm starting to get really excited and can't wait to start living my new life! I started at 111kg with a BMI of 42, I am now 4 days into my pre-op diet and am down to 108kg. I live on the north coast of NSW, so am having my surgery with Dr Gregory Nolan at Allamanda Private Hospital on the Gold Coast. I totally trust my surgeon and am so glad that he is doing my sleeve. I look forward to chatting with you all over the coming weeks and months!

Forgot to mention, weighed in at my surgeons and I am 65kg so GOOOOOOAL!! I am so happy - BMI of 23! I can't quite believe it!

My hair loss has stopped (not exactly growing back yet) - hey I learnt something interesting from my dietician, I was eating heaps of Brazil nuts thinking I was doing the right thing and I found out that the selenium in these nuts can be toxic! She told me not to eat more than four a day!!! Yikes - guess what one of the symptoms of poisoning is - hair loss!!! I had stopped eating so many over Christmas (I had gone to chocolate over this period!!) and coincidentally that is when my Hair loss tapered off! Who knows, but interesting.

Thinks I need someone to talk to. Ive haven't lost weight since my weigh in just under a month ago. Going back to see my surgeon on Tuesday, to get a talking to and some eating suggestions. I have just finished 3 weeks of Clinicals for my nursing degree. It was hard to find small servers of good food at the hospital.

Thought my weight lose had just platooed at 10kgs after a month.. No Idea whats happening.

Anyone good at motivation speaking. Would love to hear from you.

Sorry Sarah,

I don't think I would be much help, I am pretty new and a slow type loser.

All I can suggest is try not to let it get you down, but I know how I would feel.

Have you done measurements?

That's the way I cheer myself up, I don't lose much on the scales but am losing lots of cm's

Choc Chia pudding

And

Ribs Spice Rub

Right!

Just to let you know, I made the pudding this arvo so can wait to try it, I did taste the almond milk with everything in it before I put the chia seeds in it and it was so chocolately, I may have to adjust it to my taste. I used agave nectar instead of the maple Syrup too.

Was as woolies, and seen a pack of beef ribs and remembered Deans recipe for the rub, well needless to say my boys are havin Deans Famous Ribs tomorrow night. Wish I could have some but no beef for me yet…patience :-)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
