In week 4 I ate Peanut Butter from a spoon and felt sooo sick! I thought maybe it was too soon. Well, last night I ate some apple slices dipped in peanut butter and oh boy!! I suddenly felt like I had the worst flu ever....for two hours I thought I might die! Anyone else have no-no foods??

Have you tried PB2? A lot of fat taken out. It would have to be mixed with something to dip apples in but I have been using it in my chocolate Protein shakes and it is WONDERFUL!

Oh, that would make me so sad! I love having a spoonful of Peanut Butter a few times a week. The only thing that makes me feel really sick is greasy food (like onion rings) which is good cause I don't need it anyway and it keeps me from wanting to eat it.

Wheat is NOT my friend. I am OK with that though because I am not a bread fan and I have found a quinoa Pasta or I sub zucchini or squash for noodles, White potatoes make me sick but sweet potatoes do not. Also, sugar makes me feel horrible. Between the white giving e Constipation and sugar giving me diarrhea I am allergic to most artificial sweetners-nutrasweet especially so I have created some rhymes:

1-If it is white it is not all right

2-If it is sweet retreat

3-Keep your new stomach pristine and eat clean

Some thoughts about Peanut Butter ...

How many of you have measured out an even tablespoon of Peanut Butter?

Having done that recently, I was surprised to see that a tablespoon of peanut butter is about half the amount my brain thought a tablespoon of PB would be.

And since one tablespoon of peanut butter is very high (95 calories - yikes!) for only 4 grams of Protein, I've decided that two tablespoons of peanut butter (what it takes to thinly cover a piece of bread or a Wasa multigrain cracker) is simply not worth 190 calories it "costs" me.

I am actually doing great. Fortunately I never really had a sweet tooth and I have learned to substitute dried quinoa for bread crumbs in recipes so it's not so bad!

@ lucky1gg33 Are you sure it wasnt the apples or maybe the sugar content of the PB was too much!!! I had a spoonfull of Pb low sugar skippy and it was a mouth orgasm!! I loved it yummy????

I avoided it during the loss phase as well for these reasons, but it helps me keep the calories up for maintenance!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
