:thumbup: Hi Everyone! Has anyone had a problem eating chocolate or peanut butter since banded? I'm wondering if it is what's giving me terrible heart burn and/or gas? I know I shouldn't even be eating it, but at Easter I just couldn't resist!!! OOPS! I never noticed heartburn or problems with gas before?

I was weak at easter and ate a bad for you treat, I felt really bad, but got back on the program right away. I have the low cal moose or jello instead now.

it sure helps.

When were you banded? Have you had a fill? Is it possible you're too tight? Reflux/heartburn can be a symptom of a too tight band.

I have had Peanut Butter a few times with no problem, chocolate, I've only had one or two pieces at christmas, none since, but it was not a problem.

There is chocolate Dip that is sugar free and claims to have zero calories that helps me a lot. It is made by Walden Farms and I usually find it near or about the produce section of Shop Rite. It is not easy to come by but well worth the search. I add it to yogurt, coffee, fruit, etc. and it is good. There seems to be nothing bad in it but who knows-cannot read the words anyway-HA HA

It is very enjoyable and I hope you find it and enjoy it too. Be well.

Chocolate can be irritating if you have reflux... might want to check with your doctor!

I put a Tablespoon of creamy peanut butter in a Chocolate Protein Shake and added ice to the Blender and that sure helped my craving for chocolate and peanut butter without doing something crazy.

Fran, I checked out their website and they have a lot of products. Very interesting, I may have to order a few. Unfortunately they charge $8.95 shipping for up to 10 items. I don't know if I want to buy 10, but I may try a few. I have never seen these in my stores at home. Thx for the idea. Laura
