I love Peanut Butter. I cannot underscore the word Love Enough I mean if I could marry it I would. I am starting my next stage post-surgery that includes full liquids my question is the following. Has anyone tried PB2. It is a powdered Peanut Butter that has 85% less fat lower sugars. It is fantastic to use in yogurts and or Protein shakes. I use half of the recommended serving size which is 2 tablespoons I have attached a basic picture of the nutritional breakdown and was wondering if anyone can give me their comments on this product and its healthiness if eaten within moderation for those of you that have not tried this peanut butter substitute it comes in plain and peanut butter and chocolate flavored and all I can tell you is it is incredible. You can purchase this at GNC however I recently found it at Walmart in the peanut butter aisle.post-300581-14745006509315_thumb.jpg

It is delicious, but it does have a decent amount of sugar in it. You can buy plain powdered Peanut Butter that is a little more nutritionally sound, but really for the amount that you are eating, it's fine. I have some of the chocolate PB2 in my pantry, I use it to make chia pudding. (I am pre-op)

Yes, it has been around quite awhile and many posts on it. You can add it to shakes also. They have a chocolate version also, and I have bought it at Walmart a couple years.

Can you share the pudding recipe and carb count please

I use a 100% pure peanut powder because PB2 has added sugar, and I don't eat things with added sugar. You can find pure peanut powder on Amazon and in quality grocery stores and health food stores.

I buy that brand at my local grocery store.

@@cbonet I take two tablespoons of chia seeds and mix them with 1/4 cup of a Premier Protein shake (whatever flavor you like) and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. That has 11 carbs, 14 grams of Protein, and 160 calories (it is my dessert :) ) Adding 2 tablespoons of chocolate PB2 adds 6 carbs, 45 calories, and 4 grams of protein.

I use the Peanut Butter & co brand because it has a little less added sugar and I like it. Only when I really really need to satisfy fix.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
