Since I am not yet banded, I can not speak for myself, but someone at the last support meeting that I attended says that creamy Peanut Butter has been a life saver for him! He puts some on a teaspoon and sucks on it slowly over a period of a few minutes. He says that it helps satisfy his sweet tooth and helps to curb his hunger.

Thats exactly what I do! Gotta be careful though as Peanut Butter is a bit high in calories. I buy Skippy creamy and 2 Tablespoons is 190 calories :)

I haven't been banded yet either, I LOVE Peanut Butter though. Maybe I need to stay away from it. I like the Skippy Natural creamy peanut butter. It is delicious.

I think I likely could, but PB is one thing I haven't had since banding. I LOVE LOVE it. But, it is so high in calories for just 2tbsp (mine is also 190c for 2tbsp), I have yet to be able to eat it. If I'm gonna have 190c, I want a bowl of ice cream lol.

I look at it in the pantry every once in a while and debate just getting a spoonful, but so far I haven't.

I don't buy it, I don't eat it. Too many calories in one little spoonful. LauraJ put it perfectly -- for 190 calories I could eat a bowl of frozen yogurt! (I try not to eat that, either)

I can eat the "oily" nut butters. I cannot eat skippy, jif or anything like that. I have also mixed Peanut Butter with silky tofu and a little honey and that is really good and goes down well.

      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.
