Hi!  Newbie here.  I read so much on forums about PB2.  Is this the same thing as the JIF powdered PB?  I am trying to stock my cupboard with items I will need pre/post OP.  I have read about many people mixing this with their protein shakes, yogurt, etc.  Also, can anyone recommend protein bars that they have found taste the best?  Thanks!  Best wishes on all our journeys!

In a shootout between dietary fats and carbs, to find out which is better for cutting body fat, dietary fats wins hands down. To be more specific, a research study proves that when obese adults cut down the intake of dietary fat it led to 68 percent higher reduction of body fat than when they cut down the same number of carbohydrate calories.

Hi all

I apologize but I have not attempted to start a new group.

I'm so busy with my last year of school that any spare time is used on caring for family obligations.

However I do see that there are plenty of "get back on the wagon" type groups under the Community tab.

I am thinking of going to one of the support group meetings where I had my vsg done in San Antonio, TX next month, even though its been 6 yrs since the surgery.

I am now 35 pounds heavier, sigh...

Are you taking a PPI such as prilosec or nexium?  Most often hunger is due to stomach acid.  

I am preparing for my surgery on august 31st. I just started the 2 week liquid diet that my surgeon requires. I am just wondering how much weight people have lost from this diet?
