It's not even real food.

It's chemicals that are supposed to approximate real food so that we can lose weight and feel like we're not missing out.

Don't do it.

Seriously, a little bit of real food goes a long way. Unless you have a trigger food (which you should absolutely avoid) then a small amount of dressing or Syrup or BBQ Sauce (measure it and keep accountable) is a far better food choice.

Real sugar. Real fat. Eat real food. If you can't eat real food in moderation, do not find a fake food substitute that is chock full of chemicals and terrible for your body and that may just trigger cravings because you feel deprived, anyway. Find a way to substitute that you can live with, instead.

Whatever you want to buy, I bet you can find a recipe online to make it yourself and it will not only taste better, it will be more satisfying. :)

omg that stuff is soooo nasty--tried a raspberry "salad dressing" several years ago and still feel a little nauseous when I see it in the store. Yep, it's all chemicals....

Tried the pb a few weeks ago so gross tossed it in the garbage. Was hoping it was going to be halfway decent because I'M so addicted to Peanut Butter since surgery.

Best bet for PB is to get PB2. It's powdered, and is real Peanut Butter, just with most of the fat removed. It is great for adding to Protein shakes for flavor, or you can mix it with Water if you want it for dipping and spreading.

You can find it in the health food section of some groceries, or you can order it from Amazon or straight from Bell Plantation.

Yes, I have tried PB2 for some reason it gives me a horrible stomach acke. But thank you for the suggestion.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
