Fun facts about chia seeds. 😊

11g of Fiber for a serving (about 2Tbsp) pretty awesome I use them in my overnight oats.

This is a great reminder. Getting in my goal of 27g of Fiber a day can be tricky. I am always looking for new ways / recipes to get my fiber in from whole sources.

And while you’re at it add a few spoonfuls of ground flax seed to your morning Protein Shake or smoothie. They are a superfood and a great addition.

Garlic!!!!????? Amazing info!!!!!!!

Eating the equivalent of 1 lb of strawberries a day for 6 months was found to reverse esophageal cancer in 80% of those studied. Considering that esophageal cancer has only a 13% survival rate, we may want to start thinking of actual food as an alternative. What about liver cancer? With “high peach concentrations, cancer cell proliferation drops about 10%, but bananas and grapefruits work about 4 times better, dropping cancer growth rates by about 40%. Red grapes, strawberries and apples do even better, cutting cancer cell growth up to half at only half the dose, but these two fruits are the winners, causing a dramatic drop in cancer proliferation at just tiny doses, lemons and cranberries.” What about vegetables? Dr. Greger found that there is “one vegetable that completely 100% stopped cancer growth in seven out of the eight tumor lines. One of the most important findings of the year.” So which one is it? Garlic. Let me state that again, clinical research showed garlic 100% stopped cancer growth in seven out of the eight tumor lines. Shouldn’t your doctor be mentioning this? All the fruits and vegetables studied discriminately went after cancer cells leaving healthy cells to do their work. Maybe- just maybe, if we start eating better we won’t be getting cancer in the first place

Thank you for noticing this. (Kinda the reason I posted the video). He eats, oh.. I don't know.. 20 times the amount that we bariatric folk can. Of course he can meet his nutritional needs! (Should still take a B-12 supplement though).

Ok, cool info. I just for grins ran this through MFP:

1lb strawberries (USDA): 145cals; 3g protein; 1g fat; 35g carbs; 9g fiber; 22g sugars

Not bad and totally doable to split it up so that you don't exceed 4g/sugar per serving. Do you know @Newme17 what they spoke about for other serving sizes for the other fruits and veggies?

Unfortunately no, I just took a little excerpt from an article. But I’m sure I can find something on nutritionfacts.org perhaps. I’m still amazed on the garlic info. 😁

Yeah the garlic is very high on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale and onions are right behind it, but the serving sizes are much smaller. We use garlic in everything lol. Broccoli sprouts/leaves are also obscenely high! Here is the ORAC scale. It starts on page 10.

It's so weird but looking at this list, about 90% of the fruits veggies we eat have an ORAC number of about 35-36! LOL! *patting self on back*

Also, yesterday you would be so proud of me. I had 1 1/2lbs of veggies lol (probably at least 80% from dark leafy sources)

Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to have to educate myself on ORAC Numbers now. 😁

I am proud of you!!! The more veggies the better IMO. Great job!!!

That ORAC scale is interesting. So hard to compare things though, since everything is measured based on a 3.5oz "serving". Works for potatoes, but not garlic! Lol. There is probably one running around that has converted the quantities to normal using amounts. I don't know, if you cook whole garlic cloves, they might be mild enough to eat 3.5 oz...

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
