I am obsessed with Peanut Butter. Never was a big fan before surgery, but cant get enough of it now. I am 10 months out and for a while I was eating a serving, or two, of PB a day. I started with reduced fat PB then moved to natural PB. Dont crave the natural PB without sugar as much, but it isnt terrible. It is high in calories for so little food, but I work out everyday and needed to add more calories to my overall diet. Nut also wanted me to add more carbs (seemed weird to me when she said, but it seems to be working) So once or twice a week before I go to the gym I will have Peanut Butter on one slice of Delightful Wheat bread. Gives me carbs and Protein to get me through workout. My nut thinks as long as I meeting my macros and staying under my calories or the day, there is nothing wrong with PB in moderation. That is the part I had to work on. I was going through a jar every 7-10 days for awhile. I now try an limit myself to 3-4 times a week. It fulfills that sweet, rich taste I crave sometimes. Really should try the PB2 or PB flavored shakes.

Started eating creamy Peanut Butter during puréed stage....3 weeks postop. Ate it at least 3-4 days/week. Switched to super chunky at 6 months once I got brave enough to put whole nuts in my sleeve. Peanut butter and apple or banana slices have been a mainstay snack for the last 6 years.

      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.
