Are you feeling well? Have lots of energy.
eating well. Are you happy with the weight are at? If you are then I would try to maintain what you have lost. Dont loose any more.

I have plenty of energy, until I just stay up too much and than I get tired but thats just normal. I am was trying to stay the same weight . I told her I would rather just stay the same. I don't want to lose more. I just do not want to gain any either.

I would stay where you felt comfortable. Eating lots of peanut but has a lot of protein but way too much fat. I never heard of a nut telling you that. Stay where you feel happy and healthy. debby

I know, Isn't it weird? She told someone else he was losing to fast, told him not to keep on it like he was, and now he has gained all of his weight and more ! You are suppose to lose fast! Isn't that the whole point of this surgery ! An dyes she told me to eat peanut butter. she also told me she thought they took off your belly butten during the penna, don't know the name of it, but when they took off your belly skin. She didn't seem to know if they gave you a bellybutton or not! Not been too impressed with the weight loss crew I've had. I have heard better advice from all of you guys here...

Sounds to me like your NUT is a nut. As long as you feel good at the weight you are and there are no vitamin or mineral deficiencies then I say the NUT needs to let it go.

I would perhaps have a discussion with the head of the weight loss team one-on-one about your concerns for the credentials of this person also, if you can perhaps get a second opinion from another nutritionist and see what a fresh perspective says about it.

Good luck as you continue your journey.

Ditto to what all have said. Listen to your body and if you're comfortable where you are and are happy and healthy then stay right where you are.

If you are happy where you are then do what you want to do. I smile and nod and thank my nut for her insights, and then I go home and continue doing what feels right to me. Yes, they have some education and wisdom, but at the end of the day this is *your* life and *your* journey.

That said, I've fallen madly in love with peanut butter since surgery and eat 2 tablespoons (off a spoon) most days. It fits in my cals/carbs/fatsand makes me happy. So if you aactually want to eat some pb then you certainly can. But no one should force you.

I tried the reduced fat Jif and I like it more than any other peanut butter.

You will get to keep your belly button but it is patchworked in! I am getting ready to do that.

haha. I don't have a belly button now due to past unrelated surgery's and the ones from these surgery's.. oh, well. Just saying they could patch it in if I had one..:)
