Every morning for Breakfast I have a Granny Smith Apple, and PB2 chocolate. My husband has been telling me I should put some cinnamon on my apple. (He does this everyday on his) everyday I tell him I have to have Protein when I have fruit. So he put some cinnamon in my pb2 and OMG it was delicious. It is a staple now. And cinnamon is supposed to be good for blood pressure and other things, so it pains me to say but he was right. LOL

Try it and let me know what ya'll think. It is really good. I am 19 months out, lost 115 lbs. and loving life.

I love cinnamon. It's great in applesauce. And tea or coffee. I'm going to try it on/an apple, sounds good. What is PB2 chocolate? And where do you get it?

How long was it before you were able to eat apple slices comfortably? I am six weeks postop, and do not process them well. It makes me sad because before surgery I ate an apple every day!

What is PB2 chocolate? And where do you get it?

PB2 chocolate is God's gift to bypass patients who loved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and/or Nutella, along with it's buddy PB2 for regular old Peanut Butter cravings. PB2 is powdered peanuts plus small amounts of salt & sugar; the chocolate version also has cocoa powder. You mix it with Water for delicious peanutty goodness. It's not as smooth as mass-produced peanut butters like Jif or Skippy or Peter Pan, but it really hits the spot.

I know others have found it in stores, but I get mine from Amazon:

I have bought it from whole foods and GNC. It really is great - though I really cannot taste the difference between the regular and chocolate and since the regular has 1 more gram of Protein [5g per 2tbs versus 4g] that's what I go with.

I started to eat peeled apples at 4 weeks. NUT says it will be awhile before I can digest the skin but that's ok. It one of my favs especially with PB2 ☺️

      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!!
