Flax Seed?

Who eats it? How much of it? Why do you eat it? I bought some at the Co-op today, and I put some in my oatmeal. And I know it's supposed to be the bee's knees. . . but I'd love to hear from a Post-op perspective why Flax seed is so bomb. ~Lara -212@goal

Flax is one of the Omega-3's that is needed for our bodies. The seeds will do you no good if you are RNY. You will need to grind them. I buy the flax seed meal and use it. The Flax Oil will do you no good either if you are RNY. Darlene

I started using it mainly for the fiber ... This was my choice after reading several articles on it, because it has the added benefit of the omega oils !! I grind one tablespoon and add it to either a protein shake, oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese.
