I agree that the I can't believe it's not butter spray is really good. It will give you the taste you're looking for without adding real butter. I too LOVE real butter but am trying to stay away from it. Let us know how it goes! :scared2:

Be aware that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is intended to be used in miniscule amounts. I know that sounds terribly elementary, but I know many people who use it in volume as a butter substitute. Five sprays is a serving, and is considered fat-free.

A bottle of the stuff contains over 800 calories, and is decidedly NOT fat-free. If you open the bottle to pour it, then you're probably better off finding another answer.

I haven't really encountered many foods yet, post-op, for which butter is needed. When I do, I have a tiny bit of the real thing. A teaspoon of butter has 33 calories--not horrendous. And a tiny bit offers so much more flavor than the substitutes, IMO (and has the bonus of being...well, real.)

I have been using butter substiitutes and margarines so long that I don't even like real butter. I use the spray and it works great to give just the flavor without a lot of fat.

I don't use much butter so when I do, I don't deprive myself and I use the real thing. It's better for you than margarine anyway, but you one of the suggestions above to use Olivo is a good one. It tastes great.

Well I use the regular I can't belive it's not butter when cooking, but just changed to olive oil. I still continue loosing with that, but I still use that butter on my food in the past I did use the spray and it is good I think im going to buy that too for when I wanna put it on my food.

Everything in moderation. Even too much of the 'substitutes' are a bad thing.

I use real butter but am just conscious of how much and how often I use it. No substitutes for me, please.

I would use real butter, every once in a while will not hurt you and besides sometimes your body needs the fat.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
