Chia Seeds

I'm wondering if anyone that has RNY surgery uses Chia Seeds.    If so, how much do you use per day?  Do you have any advice about using Chia Seeds in our diet?

I forgot I still have some.  I was putting a tablespoon or so in a cup with milk and letting it sit for a bit.  I kinds of gels up and is like a pudding.  I would put a little sugar free syrup in there and it was a little treat.  I started doing that because someone said it was a good way to deal with constipation and it did help.  I'm going to have some tonight.

Thanks so much for getting back with me about your use of chia seeds.  I'm going to start using mine tomorrow!  December 17th will be my 4 year anniversary date for my RNY.  For some reason, I've gained 10 pounds during the past couple of months.  I think that my craving for sweets has returned and I seem to be hungry a lot of the time. I'm not drinking enough water either.  I hope that this chia seeds will make me feel full longer and give me more protein and fiber. 

I  think I'll try putting some in almond milk and sugar free chocolate syrup.  Sounds yummy!!  Thanks!!

I put a tablespoon of milled chia seed in my morning protein smoothie and no other time...only use it cause my daughter says to.

I also add a tablespoon of chia seeds to my morning protein shake, about 3 times a week.  Never any issues, I like the extra texture and it's got some good stuff in it :)

I'm goingto start using my chia seeds in the morning.  I'll be sure and let you all know how it goes.  Thanks for all of your advice.

Anyone interested in a free unopened package of Chia seeds? They are NOT milled, just send me a message, first response I get it is yours, I can't get myself to try them.

I would love the bag.  Thanks!!

Send me your address in a private message and I'll send them to you.
