I had a problem with Peanut Butter post op. My surgery was April 10 when I was allowed soft foods I tried the reduced fat peanut butter to get the extra Protein. The first time it sent me running to the bathroom and the second time it just sat like in the middle of my chest for hours I couldn't sleep I hated the feeling so I won't eat it again for a while. But everyone is different.

I tolerated Peanut Butter fine, and still do. The only thing is it causes me acid reflux but I take Prilosec everyday anyway.... but if I forget and eat Peanut Butter, it's like a fire in my esophagus. That said, it's also a trigger food for me....so I have to be super careful.

I second PB2 in shakes.< /p>

I also like PB2 in shakes and frozen popsicles. But I have to stay away from regular Peanut Butter. It goes down too quickly, and is a trigger food for me as well. If I had a jar in the house, it would be gone in 3 days.

Be well…

PB2 saved me! I couldn't stand the taste of protien shakes until I discovered it!!! Now I look forward to each shake!

I usually put 2 tablespoons in my shakes which are normally about 12 oz. I will warn u not to try to eat the PB2. I made the mistake and gave into a craving for Peanut Butter and made a tablespoon of peanut butter in which I decided to eat. It hurt so bad I felt like I had swallowed rocks. Lesson learned!

Same thing happened to me. Peanut butter has been the only thing my stomach can't tolerate.

It is powdered Peanut Butter which you add Water to. I do some slices in it. Our in powdered form pit it in shakes. It's not bad!

PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter Protein. Good source of protein without all the fat. I found it at Walmart where the peanut butter is

I used PB2 in my shakes immediately post op. Now at 4 1/2 months I add a little Water to the powder to make it normal Peanut Butter consistency and eat it with apple slices as a snack. Mmmmm.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
