I have about a week and a half left of the shakes but tomorrow I can start adding puréed foods. I do find that the PB2 doesn't dissolve all the way but that may have just been how i mixed it. I shook it with a Blender Bottle. My stomach didn't seem to have any trouble with it though.

At this stage dr said minimum of 50 grams of Protein a day and 64 ounces of liquid. Other than the first couple days, I have had no problems getting it all in.

The best place I have found to buy PB2 is bellpllantation.com. The shipping is high, but if you call customer service they can get you a better deal on shipping.

You can get 4lbs for $27. That's about what you get two lbs. for on Amazon.< /p>

I have bought mine from wal-mart. Like $4.85 for 17 servings I think?

Interesting fact about PB2:

"There's a little sleight-of-hand with the nutritional comparisons of PB2 and Peanut Butter.

12g of the PB2 has 55 calories, 2.84g fat, 3.75g carb, 4.37 Protein. Then you mix it with a Tbsp (15g) of Water to get your finished product.

A 32 g serving of Peanut Butter is 190 calories, 16g fat, 6g carb, 8g Protein.< /p>

Comparing weight-to-weight (32g PB2) = 145 calories, 7.5g fat, 10g carb, 11.65g protein. So basically the powder has 1/2 the fat of real PB, 65% more carbs, and 50% more protein. But only 25% less calories.

OK, lastly, what this really means is that you need 22 grams of "PB2" to equal one serving of peanut butter from a protein/carb nutrition factor, not the 12 grams stated on their web site. 100 calories. But you WOULD be saving 11g of fat in that serving."

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
