Recommended Posts

@@momto3E,

PB2 is not bad. It comes in regular Peanut Butter and chocolate Peanut Butter. We always keep it on hand, as my children like it too!

As for issues with my band...I could never tolerate more than 4cc's of Fluid. I had 4cc's for about a year with no problem, and all of a sudden I got the worst acid reflux ever. I didn't realize it was the band until after suffering for a month and half before calling my doctor. I felt INSTANT relief once he removed the Fluid. We tried to put the fluid back in, but I only got back up to 3cc's. I think i'm just really scared to go any further. When I was sick, I had real difficulty eating healthy foods (no salads, vegetables, most meats) and I resorted to ice cream and potato chips. Bad choices, but I was hungry.

Why are you having a revision?

Tammy,

I have heard the PB2 is good and I've been excited to try it.

I'm so sorry about all the issues you had with your band! I can't believe all the pain your were in... so not fun.

Is that a typical side effect?

I have not had any WLS before, this will be my first.

I'm counting down the days till I can have the puréed foods after surgery. Haha 5 weeks to go!

Oct 3rd surgery date excited. On my liquid diet. Half way through. My Dr. required the liquid only. I did have a cheat the other day, it wasn't too bad I don't think. I had a plain all veggie salad w/ 2oz of grilled chicken. I had bought the Bariatric Advantage banana, which was great when I tried it but after 3 days of that being all I had eaten. The thought made me gag, so I had something different. I tried to at least be healthy about it.

October 3 here and day 7 of my pre op diet. I have already lost 12lbs in this 7 days. Crazy. I have been feeling so ready up until this morning when I noticed the Keto breath and realized I am full on in ketosis. I keep thinking there are people out there that lose their weight with just a keto diet and exercise not surgery. I know it is just cold feet and I have been expecting this to happen at some point before the actual surgery. Anyway, off to have my Protein shake!

I haven't weighed since my last weigh in Friday 9-16 before I started this liquid fun. I was 262 then. I wasn't nervous at all til then. The hardest part was Wed night church body party. I wasn't tempted at all but I felt out of place w everyone else eating. Just something to get used to. I had my Jello and a shake. My pastors wife was gonna support me and just have her a shake "she's doing medifast" but she caved and ate too. Time for me to get off work and start my day.

I'm going from band to bp on October 4. Started my liquid diet on Tuesday so almost 1 week in and just over 1 week to go. Been sick so that has added to the challenge. I feel like I'm over the hump now and just praying that I've kicked this cold for good this week

My surgery is Oct 5th. Have been on shakes since Sept 20th. Struggling daily but have not given in. They say 4-5 shakes a day and 3 is all I can do.

I'm scheduled for 10/26 and appointment with the surgeon two weeks prior. I've been replacing meals consistently now 2 a day with shakes

I add the PB2 to my chocolate Protein. I bought banana powder to add to the vanilla. Haven't tried it yet. I use generic calorie free flavored dropins (pineapple is my favorite) to zing it up without having to buy flavors.

Getting close to my Oct. 5 GB surgery dateI I'm in the midst of my pre-op diet. For my Doc at DHMC in NH it's 800-1000 cal/day, less than 80g carbs. That's it. So I'm thankful to eat real food (in very small quantities) and just have to supplement with shakes if necessary.

I continued to be surprised by how varied pre-op diets are. Seems like a LOT of Docs are still pushing the liquid diet. Given how standardized the surgeries are now, I'm surprised the pre-op diets haven't followed suit.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
