Recommended Posts

Funny!!!

The crazy thing about the Peanut Butter craving' date=' is it is not a usual food for me. Once a while on an apple, or of course Umpqua choc Peanut Butter ice cream, but the last couple of weeks it's all I can do to not just sit down with the whole jar and start spooning it in. Trying to figure out if any lacking nutrients will cause you to crave peanut butter.[/quote']

Ok I came back to yell at you I just ate a teaspoon of peanut butter! There goes my great daily numbers!!! :P

And I don't even want to know what a Umpqua choc peanut butter ice cream is!!! :o

Bad, bad Laura....

Isn't it funny when we start talkking about things like this how it gets into our thought processes....

Should have waited an hour Laura- Ven and then it could have been in your Friday numbers. ;-)

I'll have to hit Freddie's tomorrow.

I'm in the Chicago area and Walmart carries PB2. If you go to Walmart, check it out. I also have a problem drinking Protein Shakes. They taste disgusting to me now.

I liked to keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer, I still do. I always have 1% cottage cheese on hand. 1/2 cup is 13 grams of Protein. eggs are good, tuna fish, and I add 1.5 TB of Lite mayo to a can. Also, from the beginning I start every day and end every day with 8 oz of skim milk, That is 16 grams of protein right there. Good luck, it takes us all a while to figure it out!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
