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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
