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!!

      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.
