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.

I also checked and the closest store to me is over 25 miles so I think I will order it on line as well

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
