Tips for incorporating Seeds.



Recommended Posts

I can’t even remember why I ordered these seeds. So sad 😂 . It’s a super 5 seeds mix (brown flax seeds, hulled sesame seeds, sunflower kernels, pumpkin kernels, and black chia seeds). I wanted them for some recipe I’m sure but it took so long to get them I forget. Does anyone have any tips of where to incorporate them?

I would try on yogurt, cottage cheese or in an oatmeal/porridge (Do people even eat porridge anymore? 🤔)

I would add them to a green smoothie. Seeds are very good for you! Also, love the idea of adding to oatmeal.

Lol I used to eat oatmeal, but after researching it and finding its not really good for you if its oats grown in the U.S (regardless of it being grown organically steel cut etc..) I quit!

So a green smoothie I assume uses kale or spinach?? You add fruit too roght?? I used to make strawberry bananas for strawberry and blueberries smoothies with a bit of Splenda. I never did try the green ones

Haven’t heard that one. I thought steel cut was good. I mean you have to budget for it macro wise, but I thought it was healthy. I bought those mush overnight oats and some of them have a lot of sugar. It’s all natural sugar like maple Syrup or fruit but it is a lot for me at this stage. I may try to make my own. I’m trying to add a variety of things for different Vitamins I may be missing with eating so little.

I love porridge! I'm waiting for my soft foods phase to start because I like my porridge roughly the same texture as wallpaper paste so I can't have it yet.

Oh google said that grits are actually a type of porridge so I guess I have had it. Apparently It can be made with any grains and grits are made with cornmeal. Honestly I didn’t know it iwas made with cornmeal either. I just tried it and never asked I guess. I like my grits on the thicker side too. Maybe not quite paste but not runny either.

It's just the British way of making oatmeal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
