Peanut butter!



Recommended Posts

Peanut Butter is a killer for me too. I LOVE IT. and I just eat the plain Adams brand with nothing added. Still super high calorie even without the sugar.

I shall try this stuff

My nut has told me no no peanut butter now.

They sell PB2 just about everywhere now. I used to have to buy it online only. I keep a large jar for when I'm craving peanut butter.. It's nice to make a chocolate, banana and Peanut Butter Protein Shake ;)

Okay - I too really like Peanut Butter - I use Justin's now when I want a little bit, as real stuff tastes better to me.

Biggest thrill that I've found this is that Jiff makes "Peanut Powder" and OMG is it ever amazing! Much better macros than PB2, and better flavor to my taste. One Tablespoon is only 23 calories, .7 g fat, 1.3 carbs and 2.7 protein! (based off their 3 T serving size stats).

I stir a tablespoon of it into my Fage yogurt with a bit of chocolate Protein Powder and sometimes a bit of stevia, and I'm a very happy girl, and it's really satisfying.

It's in the section with the regular Jiff peanut butters in my store.

I had to ban Peanut Butter from my house. I was mixing it into yogurt on a daily basis and was cheating the serving size. I went back to PB2 and while I don't like it as much, it serves it's purpose. The only time I use actual Peanut Butter (natural) in when I mix it into my overnight oats before a long weekend run.

I was happy to discover a brand of Peanut Butter I'd loved when I lived in New Zealand at a local grocery store. It's called Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter and it's yummy and has decent nutritional stats. For a 1 tablespoon serving there's 88 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 carb, 1 gram of Fiber, and 5 grams of Protein. The only ingredients are peanuts and salt. Since I'm trying to be mindful about my carbs, it's great that it has quite a bit less than other brands. The downside it is that it's definitely more expensive. I also like making fresh peanut butter at Whole Foods.

I'm in the UK and have just bought my first PB2 from Amazon. Oh bliss, I can now get my Peanut Butter fix guilt free. I didn't dare use the proper stuff in a jar as before my VGS I had to slather my toast with butter and then load the peanut on top of that. Now, I can get that divine taste without the guilt. Anyone got any good recipes?

You should be able to get PB2 at Walmart for sure. I got a16oz container from there a few weeks ago. I think I paid about $4 for it.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
