I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'd like to know if you are still able to eat like a half of a PBJ after you have your band on. I've read so man posts from banders who don't seem to be able to tolerate bread. I would think if you chewed it enough, it should go down. Any thoughts from you experienced banders?

Thanks!:hungry:

Hi Candle,

Where do you get it and how do you use it?

I'm not banded (just planning ahead).

Thanks

I just ordered some myself a few minutes ago so I have the link handy:

Bell Plantation: 4 Pack PB2 ($3.99 each)

If I had to give up Peanut Butter I'd just die. Okay, that's overly dramatic, but I love the stuff.

I find a half a sandwich at 150 calories is preferred to a whole one. The half takes care of the craving but doesn't blow the day.

I like peanut butter and jelly in my oatmeal sometimes.

Juli, you should try whey Gourmet's chocolate Peanut Butter Protein powder. It's really good. If you'd like to try some, just PM me with your address. I'm trying to get everyone hooked on it. :nervous:rolleyes

Lauren got me hooked on it!

Awe that's really nice, but I have too much Protein powder that I don't use now...Thanks for the offer!

I am interested in the PB2 though. I saved the link.

Where do you get it and how do you use it?

The link has been posted but as far as "use" goes - just like regular PB. You mix it with a little Water to use as a spread (on sandwiches, fruit, etc) and I've mixed it dry, in with my oatmeal and Protein shake.

I'm going to try a peanut chicken recipe in the crock pot this week too.

It's pricey (with the shipping costs) but was worth it to me. I LOVE PB!

A nice tall glass of ice cold milk with a PB&J Sandwich.... those were awesome... But these days i can't handle bread so if i really get the craving ill pull out my wheat thins , and PB&J and make little mini crackerwichs :heh: with a small glass of milk (but only once in a while because not supposed to drink with meals)

Hey.. How about a PB&J Smootie . Try this

3/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogert

3/4 cup 1% milk

2 teaspoons Peanut Butter

1 medium banana

1/2 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries

2 teaspoons whey powder

4 ice cubes, crushed

Makes 2 8-ounce servings

Calories per servings: 235; protein:11 g; Carbs: 39 g: Fat: 5g; Saturated fat: 2 g; Sodium: 154 mg; Fiber; 4g

I hope this helps. I cannot image not eating a PB&J . Have a great day!

Take out the nasty whey powders and that sounds pretty damn good!

Thanks Ronnie! That sounds great! I'll have to try it.

You are very welcome . Keep in touch and let me know what you think about the PB&J blend after you try it.
