Ok I could really have done without the listing of what's in Peanut Butter. I don't eat much of it. Maybe a tablespoon in the last two months but I really don't want my kids to eat it now.

I got the PB2 before surgery from wal mart and with a little bit of Water it's the texture of creamy peanut butter. I still don't eat much of it after surgery though.

All of those in the "good guys" section still have some type of sweetener. I've been eating unsweetened natural Peanut Butter for years - my local grocery store has a brand called Crazy Richard's - ingredients peanuts, salt. Or Smuckers Natural. or get peanuts and grind them fresh at a health food store or even in something like a Vitamix.

Oooooh, I hadn't thought of this option! I just got a Vitamix for Christmas and would love to make my own peanut butter! I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the idea!!

Dr Oz says not to eat peanuts as they are very addictive but almonds, or other TREE nuts are good. And please don't buy nut butters with sugar added.

Another thing Dr. Oz says is that Garcinia Cambogia is the "Holy Grail" of weight loss and that it will give you "QUICK and EFFECTIVE results WITHOUT diet and exercise, garcinia cambogia extract will absolutely help you achieve the body you've always wanted!"

So why did any of us bother to have WLS?!

His other weight loss recommendation is taking HCG drops and eating under 500 calories/day. Seriously, he's a f**king quack getting paid to endorse fad supplements from the highest bidder.

Kindle. Yeah, Oz is out to make a buck, and I choose to not read, or get mad, that stuff. But I think he is right about nuts.

There are plenty of nut butters that contain just nuts or maybe add a touch of salt. I use Laura Scudders brand but there are others.

To the OP I have used real PB from the start. Use no sugar added in moderation and you are fine. PB2 actually has added sugar.

I am at goal now and actually eat at least a TB of peanut butter daily.

Just remember it's very very high calorie food.

Have you tried the PB2 chocolate? Tastes like Reece cup!

I ordered a box of PB 2 plain and one with chocolate from work last week to add to my Protein Shakes. I haven't tried either yet as I start my 10 days of Protein shakes this coming Monday. Excited to try the PB 2 chocolate so I'm actually looking forward to Monday.

Kroger has PB2 in the health section usually on the very top shelf. I purchased mine from Amazon. Love it and my nutritionist recommends it because of the higher Protein content and lower calories. The chocolate is yummy! I have one serving most evenings. ????

      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.
