being a gastric bypass patient, i'm quite familiar with protein powders and flaxseed. i eat a peanut butter called "naturally more" which includes egg white, flaxseed oil and flaxseed, it's very good.

I was wondering if the natural pb was any good. I kept hearing it looked really bad, and I couldn't bring myself to try it.

I use it, but I prefer almond butter with a little honey.


C. Ann I hope everything works out for you!

Danispies has smoothie recipes too! Good luck sweetie!

I tried eating a little bit of peanut butter the other night and it was a no-no.. The only thing that doesn't hurt my stomach right now is fluids.. Tuesday can't get here soon enough!!!! Normally I hate the idea of medical tests - and will do anything and everything to get out of them - but not this time.. I'm tired of feeling like I'm starving to death - and when I look in the mirror (or at my clothes after I put them on) - I just want to cry..

I love, love, LOVE Isopure protein drinks from GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe. The ready-to-drink bottles each have 80 g of protein in a 16 oz bottle. Pretty great! They're SWEET... mostly remind me of koolaid. I like "icy orange" the best.

I'm a gastric-bypass patient, by the way, so my life is currently keeping up w/ my protein count. I've found that the easiest way for ME to stay on top of it is to mix half a bottle of the isopure w/ a crystal lite (matching flavor) and another 8 oz of water or so. That way, I stay on top of hydration and protein. I know isopures are pretty low calorie, and I know they have zero sugar...

One other thing- both GNC and Vitamin Shoppe will sell the bottles individually or in cases- great way to try out flavors!

I do hope this helps, and I hope it has made sense. I didn't sleep last night, so my brain is.... fried... to say the least.

This may sound crazy, but does anyone know how many calories there are in baby food? Was sitting here this morning thinking that until they find out what my problem is, that should be pretty easy to digest - right?

I've had stomach problems all my life and I've had to eat baby food. I think, for now, being able to eat anything that doesn't make you hurt is a plus.

Pretty much what I was thinking.. Just the Boost alone isn't cutting it anymore..
