I LOVE PEANUTBUTTER - WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?



Recommended Posts

I have been at goal for a few months so I experiment with new foods. Well i'm addicted to crunchy peanutbutter. I have at least two tablespoons a day and usually with a apple. I count it with my calories and I stay within my limit but I can't stop eating it whether it be for Breakfast, or lunch or snack. It's a good fat and source of Protein, high in calories but it feels like a treat for me esp if I throw a tablespoon of ff cool whip on it.

Just letting you know there is a Peanut Butter powder PB2 that some health stores carry-none around me so I order online. You mix it with Water, sugar free jelly if you want and can use it in a stir fry...yum. It doesn't have many calories and fat so you might want to look into it. It taste pretty good to me

Have you tried Gala apples? They're not always easy to find but oh my gosh they are SO good with Peanut Butter on them!

I actually love Peanut Butter, too. Too much. I had to stop snacking on it because I was eating way too much. I think it's a "trigger" food for me.

I love Peanut Butter too. I use creamy on my fugi apples but have PB2 and put it in yogurt and in my Protein Drinks also sprinkle it on 1/2 sliced bannan. a real treat.

If you make it fit into your daily calories, I honestly don't see a problem. You obviously are able to control yourself.

I, on the other hand, realized I was "oh just one more spoonful" until I was over my daily calories. Repeatedly. It is just too dangerous of a snack for me because I apparently lack the self control to stop at just a spoonful.

I love sweets! They are my weakness! Peanut Butter, I like, but it's not my fave. I use it sometimes, in a Protein Shake, but more often, I use the PB2 powder since it's less calories to use up. There is also a chocolate PB2 powder also. I am not much of a fan of it, by itself (after mixing it with water), but if definitely gives you that peanut butter fix when mixed it anything, like shakes, ice cream, cool whip, etc.....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
