Ate my first PB&J a couple of days ago. It was made with one piece of bread, folded over. But it was yummy! I'm 7 months post-op.

I am 4 months PO and still have issues with bread. I am just now at a point where I can eat SOME but not a lot. I originally tried toasted wheat bread because I read that it was supposed to be easier on you but quite honestly I cannot tolerate wheat bread at all. I can only eat white bread and it does do better if it's toasted. I can eat a sandwich usually if im really hungry and with 1 piece of white bread folded over with some sort of moisture like low fat mayo or mustard.

Thanks everyone. I can wait considering oatmeal is heavy on me so I can imagine bread. I am tracking my food on MFP and while all I'm eating is small servings of cottage cheese or eggs and beans' date=' the chart keeps showing that I am having 1/3 carbs 1/3 Protein an 1/3 fat. I'm not sure how to make protein higher than the others. Grrrr any suggestions? Any one care to post a pic of their MYP daily diary of a successful eater?[/quote']

Invest in some PB2. It's 1/4 the calories of regular Peanut Butter. If you can't find it at your local grocery store order it from amazon.

I tried PB2 when I was doing weight watchers a few years back and I did not like it at all. My tastes have changed drastically since my surgery though so I might need to give it a try again. :-)

If you do a side by side comparison with a jar of full fat Peter Pan...yeah, it's not going to win that match up. But to me, it tastes good enough to be my choice considering the nutritional consequence of eating regular Peanut Butter. Plus, I do believe there is a slight art to mixing it up right. It took me a couple of tries to get it right. 2 parts powder to 1 part Water PLUS a dab more water make it just right to me. And don't accidentally turn on the hot water like I did the other day....hot peanut butter is not as good as it sounds.

Question: I'm about a week post op and I am hungry...what do you guys eat to make the hungry feeling? I do yogurt and pudding and I'm okay with that. Someone hellllpppp!!!

You can change your settings on MFP online. I had to use my computer and not the app on my phone. And just played with the percentages until I got my protein goal at 60g. Hope that answered your question :)
