My snack consists of string cheese, cottage cheese, mixed nuts, Greek yogurt, blueberries or cherries. That's really about it. If I need in between meals and if I am at home, I tend to also make a nice Protein shake with PB2, half a banana and benefiber. It all depends on my mood and where I am at.

Your Snacks sound and look good :)

I was initially skeptical and once I bought pb2 and added it to my shakes, I was in heaven. I didn't like pb before surgery and then after surgery I started to eat pb by itself and then read on the forums about pb2 and made the purchase. I also got chia seeds and yet to try it in my shakes. If you like pb you will love pb2. GNC also has it for cheaper price. I got mine on Amazon. There is chocolate pb2 and regular pb2 and honestly both taste the same.

I have to eat every two hours to keep my blood sugar up or I get very weak and majorly dizzy also other symptoms.

I eat nuts, Quest bars, soy Protein chips, egg white chips, cheese and I really try to stay with Protein but if it dips to low my blood levels then I have to eat something with sugar in it or I have to potential of passing out.

I love PB2 in the regular or chocolate. I add it to shakes. Target carries it in their Peanut Butter isle.

Pb2 stands for Peanut Butter. I don't know what 2 is...pb2 is in powder form vs regular peanut butter. Much much healthier for you then peanut butter by itself.

YUM, that apple with blue cheese and walnut looks AWESOME!!!

yesterday my snack was a Cookies and Cream Quest bar. i'm super pathetic this week and have yet to get to the grocery store so i've stood in the kitchen and 'snacked' on a cold slice of deli meat, a few peanuts, and a hunk of meatloaf straight from the fridge....

gotta get to the store tonight for baby bel, some laughing cow garlic/herbs, grapes, then to the farm stand for a honey rock melon, some green Beans, yellow Beans, tomatoes, etc. can't wait!

PB2 is real Peanut Butter minus the oil. You can use the powder to add real peanut butter flavor to lots of things. My husband adds it to his vanilla Protein Shake w/banana; or to his chocolate shake for a Reeses peanut butter cup flavor (he's a body builder, not a WLS patient). My nut says you can reconstitute it by adding a little Water for a nonfat version of peanut butter (I haven't tried doing it). You can buy PB2 pretty cheap at Walmart. :-)

At this point (8 months post-op), I very rarely snack. If I do it's string cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, turkey pepperoni, turkey Jerky, laughing cow wedge or PB2 & a flat bread cracker, popcorn, or 1/2 Quest bar.

Regarding PB2 - It makes a great addition to shakes. I added some to an Eggface 5min cake (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2010/04/that-takes-cake.html) (I used Syntrax Matrix Peanut Butter cookie Protein powder, PB2, and topped with sugar free strawberry jelly and fat free whipped cream). By itself (mixed with Water as directed), PB2 tastes very much like straight peanuts. I mean, it's supposed to, but I add a little vanilla Torani to sweeten it.

Today I brought 2 hard boiled eggs with a little yellow mustard to squirt on. Sounds gross but its actually pretty good especially on the yolk.

I do those nature valley Protein Bars a lot too. The almond one is aweeesome.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
