Peanut Butter

I was told Peanut Butter would be too dry during the mushy stage but I tried it yesterday and seemed to have no problem with it. What were you told?

That it can goop up and may be hard to pass through the band.

I asked my dr. About it and was told just because you might can get it down doesn't mean you should. I was informed that for losing weight there are few worse foods because sure it has Protein but it also has carbs and fat and no one actually stops at a table spoon.

My doctor is ok with it - in small amounts, not as a regular thing. I had 1 Tb of Peanut Butter with half of a sliced banana on a piece of low carb bread as my Breakfast this morning. Satisfied my cravings and kept me full till lunch.< /p>

I love Peanut Butter but I hate the fat in it so I use PB2 it's crushed peanuts that have been pressed until all the oil is drained and your left with a powder all you do is add Water and u can make it as thin or thick as you want it only has 45 calories a serving!

People who eat Peanut Butter, as i do sometimes, you need to measure in teaspoons not tablespoons .. way to many calories in a tablespoon .. i found u can eat a taste of anything if u stick to a teaspoon full or measure a 1 inch cube of something i was always told if u are going to cheat/treat yourself just make make it a small portion .. no harm done then

I was banded on June 5. Peanut Butter is allowed on my diet when I reach Week 4.

Where do you purchase PB2? I've never seen it before.

I LOVE Peanut Butter. I used to eat it by the spoonful (now I cringe, knowing how I ended up at 243 lbs!) My nutritionist strongly discouraged it, not only because of the texture but besides having some Protein, there's nothing else good about it (well, besides the taste that is!!). I actually took a banana, pureed it with some vanilla greek yogurt and just a dab of peanut butter. It satisfied the sweets craving I was having, and one banana made three servings.

PB2 is the best!! I found it at local nutrition store. I think you might be able to get it at Hyvee. They also make a chocolate version. For 2 Tbsp it's 45 calories, 1.5g fat, 5g Protein. I discovered this while doing a local weightloss challenge.

PB2 is the best!!! 2Tbsp is only 45 calories, 1.5g fat, and 5 Protein. I get it from my local nutrition store. I was told that Hyvee had it at one time.

Sorry about the double post. It said it didn't go the first time.

You can order it online. I know their webpage has a store locator to who sells it, but there were none in my area.
