Ok. I'm 11 days post op and I put 1TB of Peanut Butter in my Protein shake. Is that ok? On some web sites I read its ok on some they say stay away. What's your opinion?

I sometimes add just a teaspoon of creamy to mine. And my nutritionist gave me some recipes and one called to add it so I figured its ok.

Some day stay away because Peanut Butter is very high in fat... Alot of RNY patients use PB2 which is a powder form of peanut butter that has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You can find it at GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe and Walmart. You can simply add it to your Protein Shake and its very good!!

When did someone actuslly start it on toast? I'm craving toast pb and bannanas. I'm almost 4 wks out. But not sure if too soon.

Week 6 or 7....as soon as I was cleared for toast I had Peanut Butter toast :). Little piece of heaven!!!

I went through a phase where I ate it off a spoon when I needed energy. I frequently eat it now for a bedtime snack. We buy a whole grain artisan bread that I slice very thin and toast it, spread a tablespoon of PB on it.

One of my favorite night time Snacks is half a frozen banana with a little Peanut Butter. In moderation it's good because its high Protein. But if you're a PB lover, go with the PB2 for the less fat version.

I looked at Nutella today. The sugar content is double my limit. My but says you can mix the PB2 with a little Water as a Peanut Butter substitute. The consistency is different but it's supposed to taste like peanut butter, only minus the fat. I'm sure it'll give you the taste you want with your bananas.

It kinda gives you the taste but not the richness or creaminess. I won't use it again for that purpose.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
