Some of you may be aware of this already - but I stumbled onto something on the internet - powdered Peanut Butter - they have basically dehydrated it - which takes out most of the oil. People seem to love it and you can add it to anything for flavoring. THE BEST PART 2 TBLS IS ONLY 50 CALS.

I of course haven't tasted it yet - so who knows - I'll let you all know what I think - anyone else tried it?

That powdered Peanut Butter does sound like a good idea. Peanut butter seems the only thing I can put into a Protein Shake to make me drink it. Defeats the purpose if the Protein Drink has 500 calories in it.

Today-

B-yoplait strawberry yogurt

L-leftover zucchini dish from yesterday (you were right luluc-it was better)

D-4 oz meatloaf, .3 cup mashed potatoes, half of cornbread muffin (much needed fill tomorrow)

I have some of the powdered peanut butter. The one I have is called PB2. I bought it from Netrition.com. I love it! I was using full fat peanut butter in my chocolate "Elvis" Protein Shakes (chocolate Protein Powder, 1/2 frozen banana, sf chocolate Syrup, stevia or splenda, and 1 tbs peanut butter). Using the PB2 really cut the calories and tastes exactly the same. I also tried reconstituting it with Water. The peanut butter it makes tastes close enough to the real thing and seemed to be more filling. I highly recommend it! :smile:

B- coffee

Protein shake:

1/2 frozen banana, 1tbs defatted peanut powder, sf chocolate Syrup, stevia, chocolate Protein powder

L- 1.5oz roast chicken, 1/6 sm apple-sliced, 1oz brie, 1/3 c. potato salad

.5oz Sunchips

S- 1oz smoked almonds, 2 hard candies

D – Protein shake

Still no veggies today. The unplanned potato salad at lunch derailed me. There was the potato salad and I love potato salad. I couldn’t resist it. I was supposed to eat my chicken, apple, and brie on a 100 cal thin bun. I skipped the bun after having the potato salad. No question the bun has fewer calories and fat than the potato salad had, plus the bun has 5 grams Fiber and 4 grams protein. I had a Protein Shake for dinner and will call it a night. I think I’ll let that shake be the start of the 5 day pouch diet, or at least a 24 hour liquid fast. I definitely need to be reminded how I should be eating!

That's the brand i bought - hope I love it too! Have also been using a Walden Farms chocolate Syrup that cracks me up - sf, ff and actually calorie free (it's made from defatted cocoa powder - tastes like hersheys to me.

what will they think of next!

Hi there - I'm 7 weeks post band and had my first fill yesterday. What I ate yesterday was:

Breakfast: 1/4 cup dried rolled oats made into porridge

with low fat milk

Lunch: Chicken(lean) wrap with lettuce

Dinner: Baked chicken leg - no skin, 1/2 baked kumara, 1

tbspn sweetcorn, cooked carrots 1/4 c - yummy!!

One of the 'golden rules' from my specialist is that you eat 3 times a day - absolutely nothing inbetween, no Snacks - just liquid in between - no calorie or low calorie liquid.

Which site did you purchase your Peanut Butter from? I am having a fill today. I am hoping to get back to doing Protein Drinks. I did better losing when I did, but I had such a difficult time finding a drink I could stomach without loading it full of peanut butter (lots of added calories and fat).

I ordered it through Amazon - but there were several sites that offered that brand and they were all really similar in regards to pricing/shipping - I'm excited to try it - kinda wish I had expedited shipping (not the most patient person :smile:)

ok - so I just checked the PB2 (bell plantation) website for grins - and they do have a locator to see where you can get it in your area - guess what - my normal grocery store carries :smile::lol::Dancing_wub::lol:

guess I'll stop there in the morning (definitely glad I didn't pay for fast shipping then - feel a little bad for doing it anyway)

I checked their website too. They don't carry it anywhere close to me. I had checked Amazon too. I really think I will go ahead and order some for myself. I really like Peanut Butter, but I don't like all of the calories.

      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!!
