Any suggestions on what to do with this jar of PB2 two weeks post op, or just wait to introduce it to my new stomach? Lol

I may be answering my own question, but i just realized that sugar is the second ingredient. Guess I won't be doing anything with this jar for a long time lol

I just made a thread about this, and people shared better options

Good for you on reading the label and paying attention to the ingredients! :) That is an important part of starting a healthy lifestyle, paying attention to what we are consuming.

A lot of people don't pay attention to the things they are eating and sugar sneaks back into their diet in small amounts in small things and it adds up in a big way at the end of the day and the end of the month.

I read the label of everything, it is a good habit to make, that along with weighing will save you a lot of grief.

Thank you! @@OutsideMatchInside

I just want to do right, while adding variety as well. I definitely don't want to start any bad habits.

Sugar is real easy to consume unknowingly if we're not paying attention, that's for sure!

I'll check that link out.

There's nothing to PB2 so that's why sugar is listed. It's a very small small amount. My Protein powder has 3 grams of sugar.

I use PB2 in my chocolate Protein shake and it tastes like a Peanut Butter cup. I haven't had any dumping at all. This is very healthy.

We're already eating next to nothing, so this won't be ruining anything if you ask me.

When there are other Peanut Butter powders with no sugar, there is no reason to choose one with sugar.

PB2 doesn't have enough Protein to make those amounts of sugar worth it.

Like I said over time all these small amounts will add up. And when you keep consuming sugar, you will keep a taste for it. It also makes it harder to detect items with sugar in them when you are eating out and away from home and some tells you something is sugar free and it turns out it really isn't. People add a surprising amount of sugar to something like hot wings, when a good hot wings recipe uses no sugar at all.

      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.
