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.
