I love Peanut Butter. I cannot underscore the word Love Enough I mean if I could marry it I would. I am starting my next stage post-surgery that includes full liquids my question is the following. Has anyone tried PB2. It is a powdered peanut butter that has 85% less fat lower sugars. It is fantastic to use in yogurts and or Protein shakes. I use half of the recommended serving size which is 2 tablespoons I have attached a basic picture of the nutritional breakdown and was wondering if anyone can give me their comments on this product and its healthiness if eaten within moderation for those of you that have not tried this peanut butter substitute it comes in plain and peanut butter and chocolate flavored and all I can tell you is it is incredible. You can purchase this at GNC however I recently found it at Walmart in the peanut butter aisle. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Good luck butch. 10 days post surgery here. Feel great. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -
I had gastric sleeve surgery on September 13th 2016. With almost 10 days out from surgery I am feeling great I am going to be starting my full liquid diet tomorrow and have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow within the first week I have noticed a significant reduction in hunger pains as well as the mental preoccupation with food. The pain is getting better and I am walking as much as I can. I find that I get tired quite frequently. I do crave solid food from time to time but I have also noticed that these Cravings have significantly decreased in duration. I am so happy I made this decision and look forward to connecting to and meeting new people on these forums. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

This Process is taking too long!
PLEZ replied to nolady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I waited for approximately 8 months for my surgery I delayed it around two months due to my wife having some health issues with that being said be patient it is so worth it I had my surgery last week and cannot tell you how great I feel about my decision. And please remember these dreaded words this is not the solution just another tool those of us that have a hard time with patience when it comes to weight loss need to learn to be patient so maybe there are some lessons to be learned here hang in there I know you will do great Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -

Waiting on insurance approval & I've gained weight [emoji30]
PLEZ replied to sherie1967's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a similar experience where I fluctuated back and forth with the weight that I was supposed to lose pre-surgery however my surgery was approved and I had it approximately one week ago I'm feeling great. I wouldn't worry about this too much as remember the professionals know that if we could stop this cycle permanently we will not be seeking surgery. My insurance approved the surgery.
