I was trying to increase the Protein amount of my Unjury shake, so I added 2 tsp. of regular Skippy Peanut Butter. I've already gotten most of it down, but it's not agreeing with me. My guess is that the sugar and/or fat in the pb is causing the problem. I'm only 2 weeks out. Anyone have any insight?

You're probably right in that your pouch isn't ready for it yet. Are you on soft foods yet? I'd give it a couple more weeks and try again, maybe with Natural Skippy or one with less sugar.

I did the same thing very shortly after post op. I've tried it a few times afterwards and I can tell u for me now I am unable to tolerate Peanut Butter. I've gotten so sick from it to where now I totally have a food aversion and the thought of putting it in my mouth gives me shivers. Totally diff than how I was pre op. I never met a food I didn't like pre op. I've developed a few things now and some real aversions.

Have you tried PB2? ? It is a powdered Peanut Butter found on the shelf by regular peanut butter. I add 1-2T to my chocolate Protein Powder and it tastes like Reese's.

Sounds like I just need to stay away from Peanut Butter for the time being. It tasted so good when I licked the spoon. Bummer!

I have had the dried Peanut Butter, but it was years ago. May need to get another jar. Anyone know where to buy it other than online. Last time, I think I had to buy 6 jars and I'm not sure I want to do that.

I've never tried it with yogurt. Sounds interesting.

PB2 is awesome! All the flavor, none of the sugar and fat. Great product and a perfect way to get the flavor (and Protein boost) you want without the things you don't want. If your local stores don't have it try a health food store or dietary supplement store. I'm sure you could even buy it online.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
