Powdered peanut butter.. tastes like Peanut Butter just less oily and you can make it as thick or thin as you like. Also 85% less fat and calories. I'm totally addicted. I get mine from Amazon or Walmart. They have regular and chocolate. .. mu personal favorite

Just out of curiosity, what PB2 made out of? Powdered food makes me leery. I like good old fashioned pb (Trader Joes jus peanuts and salt). Has to be crunchy and can't be refrigerated (can't spread it).

Okay, now that we have PB2 all figured out, does anyone know if you can have Peanut Butter during the purée stage?

I could have pnut butter in purée phase. Be careful, it's rich and can sit heavy at first.

Sorry, couldn't answer your op :{ . But I guess with the PB2 you could at least get your peanut butter flavor craving filled even in the full liquid stage.

Sorry, had somewhat of an emergency earlier so couldn't respond. I haven't tried regular Peanut Butter because I'm trying to be smarter about my choices. The PB2 isn't exactly like regular peanut butter but it's really darn good and an option I feel good about. Hope that helps :)

When I was on purées I often ended the day with a teaspoon of Peanut Butter because I wasn't able to eat anywhere near enough calories. I mentioned this to my nutritionist and she said it was fine!

Yes, Pbutter is OK. ALSO consider Hummas, a staple of mine.

I had it on puree stage! Watch the sugar content, though. Not everyone dumps, but some people do and I REALLY did!!!

I haven't tried the PB2 for the reason that I was worried by it too! Knowing that it's pretty natural though I'll have to check it out. Wonder how they get it powdered ..?

      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.

      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.
