Anybody have experience with this PB2 stuff? I'm dying to eat PB but way too many calories for too small amount. I know I will overeat if I start and want to try this. Honest reviews please of this product. I know there are low fat PB and its Protein etc. I'm 3 years out, doing 5:2 to get back down to goal so my calories are important! :).

I got some chocolate PB2 to try out as part of my pre-op dietary explorations. I LOVE this stuff. A teaspoon or so in a Protein Shake is delicious. You can also mix it with a bit of Water to reconstitute it back to spreadable texture--and it has much less fat than regular Peanut Butter.< /p>

I have a 'jar' of it now, I had heard about it for ages, but thought it would be something I would not like, so I avoided it. I like Peanut Butter, I put it on a graham cracker. It is my 'snack of choice' but like you, the calories are just too much. I actually measure it out so I wouldn't put more than .5 a TB on a cracker! Anyway, I got some, and I really like it on my crackers, it is NOT peanut butter, but it's close. I don't think I'd like it for a sandwich, but I don't eat sandwiches, so it's a non issue!!! I do recommend it. I also add just a tiny bit more Water than it calls for so it will be a little creamier!

I like it. If you stay away from regular Peanut Butter, this stuff will taste quite good. But side by side, it doesn't quite match up. But to me the calorie difference makes it worth eating. Plus, since you have to measure it out and pre mix it, you can't sit there and over eat it like you can with regular PB. I like that about it. Definitely experiment with the mixture of Water and powder because it makes a huge difference. A few drops too much water can make it too creamy. Too little water makes it grainy. A few drops can make or break it. But once you get your ratios figured out its consistent after that.

Girl, when I saw your 4 # in your weight I got really jealous! Lol. My lowest was 150 (maybe 149) but not now. BUT I'm well on my way back. 10 lbs would put me back at goal but gonna try to push back and not get satisfied and let up till 145 or So. We will see.

I can find PB2 at Whole Foods or Fred Meyer (also QFC - same chain). Try the health food / gluten free aisle.

I look forward to trying this. Will have to order online as it doesn't appear to be sold in my area. Here's a link to their website (product locator):

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
