So I was banded on May 13th and I just started my blended diet phase. Since I'm not allowed to eat meat yet I'm powering up on Protein shakes. Just now at work I was in the break room kitchen whipping up some Slim Fast Protein powder, 1% milk (I can't do skim - blech), ice and for added Protein some organic, creamy Peanut Butter. Yummm! I brought in my all-in-one blender (it's small - you can drink from the container) and was just getting ready to add the Peanut Butter.< /p>

Then all hell broke loose. :frown:

I purchased the organic peanut butter at costco last night and honestly, I didn't see all the oils floating on the top. I even looked. I took off the cap and went to peel back the safety foil/film when "SPLASH!!!" all the oil jumped out of the jar and attacked me. I'm covered in peanut oil. :lol:

I've tried to rinse off in the sink (basically took another bath), but I know I still smell like peanuts.

Sigh. What we do for a diet.

On a better note, my shake is pretty good. :sad:

Sorry, but that sounds like something I would do. Welcome to Bandland. Hang in there! There are things that smell worse than Peanut Butter.< /p>

OK, get this almost the same type of story, nothing to do with the band though. We were taking sandwich fixing up the mountain (think high elevation) and we had purchased a bottle of the squeeze type of mayonaise and when we got to the top, I couldn't get the dang foil off the lid, so I used my teeth to pull it free, and yup, just like you, I ended up with mayo ALL OVER MY FACE. But at least it was good for the skin..... right??????? oh well. thought I'd just share the story. But yes the things we do for diets....

Yes, you made me laugh tonight. I remember a few years back I went to the cafeteria at work, fixed a sandwich and went to the condiment station, and pushed down on the mustard spicket (sp?). It was clogged and shot out all over my new blouse, face, glasses and hair. I was quite a picture, and it was a long walk to the ladies restroom !

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
