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.

Okay, this is not good. I LOVE IT! Seriously. And the chocolate is awesome. This is really not good. I could become addicted to it I think. ????

      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!!
