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 ☺️

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
