Recommended Posts

I actually ordered PB2 and received it in the mail today and immediately tried it...definitely highly recommended...it's just like an all natural Peanut Butter except not nearly as much fat and calories!! It's awesome to get your pb fix..next I'm gonna try chocolate pb2 since it tastes like reeses!! Omg like obviously why wouldn't I lol...but i bought mine on Amazon for like $8

Natural Peanut Butter with nothing added is 200 calories for 2 tbls. It has Protein but I would not consider it a lot. I was eating it but decided I was not willing to use those calories. I mix a lot of different raw and sprouted nuts and mix in my yogurt or have for a snack but not every day. I saw somewhere. That sunflower seed butter is healthiest. When I want peanut butter I mix PB2 with a little almond milk, sweetener or little honey, and dash of salt.

I make a spicy peanut sauce that is delicious. 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter light sodium soy sauce and sirracha sauce to taste put it in micro for 45 seconds and its a great sauce r chicken and shrimp. I use it with Shirataki noodles which has no to little calories you can even throw in some veggies

I like PB2 (I buy it at Kroger) for mixing into things or sprinkling on apple slices. For sandwiches, I like Smucker's all-natural Peanut Butter. 2 tbsp on a Kroger whole wheat sandwich slim bun is a 290 cal Breakfast that I can eat in the car.

I like reduced fat crunchy Peanut Butter. I measure and stick to the 2tbsp serving size. I find logging my food and staying very active allows me to enjoy almost anything, including peanut butter, in moderation.

I havent looked into those yet since I don't have a problem with Portion Control, I usually have between 1 teaspoon-1 Tablespoon, I never have it on bread, just on spoon for a snack and it keeps me full for 3-4 hours. :)

Thanks for the advise though!

I like PB2' date=' powdered Peanut Butter. It is less calories and fat, same taste. You can get it online, Amazon, whole foods and some specialty outlets.[/quote']

The Walmart by me carries it by the Peanut Butter about $4.50 a jar. :)

Peanut Butter and a banana are one of my favorite high Protein smoothie recipes, along with 100% whey....(I don't count calories)

Also, chocolate and peanut butter goes great also...

I found Peanut Butter in the beginning was GREAT in helping taking the edge of my hunger. I teaspoon did the trick for me.

I eat Peanut Butter all the time.

      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.
