Hi Natalie,

At 10.5 weeks out can we have chia seeds? Ground or whole?

Also how many grams of protein should we be getting a day?

Regards,

Donna

Hi Donna,

Chia seeds are fine. I recommend soaking them before using them. Ground versus whole: may not matter, but it is possible that ground are better because their nutrients may be better absorbed.

Protein: 65-110 grams/day.

Hope that helps!

Natalie

Thanks Natalie,

My protein is in check and I have tried chia seeds both ways. Soaked seem to be easier on the digestion but ground is easier to use just put in your shake and go!

Hi Donna,,

That's great - soaked and ground are perfect! If you're in a rush, just soak them ahead of time (even overnight), then throw them into your shake.

By the way...the new system is that I'm on Facebook Mon/Wed 3pm Pacific time, and Saturday 12:30 pm Pacific on the BariatricPal Surgery Deals Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/BariatricSurgeryDeals/

Take care,

Natalie
