kamrie37 134 Posted June 17, 2012 Has anyone mixed in a bit of pb in their Protein Shake and blended until smooth during the full liquid diet phase? The only stipulation I was given during this phase is as long as I can drink it thru a straw (but don't drink thru straw) I can have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonkeyNurse 26 Posted June 17, 2012 I use a product called PB2 in my Protein Shakes. It's powered PB with 85% less fat. I bought it on Amazon.com.< /p> 1 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They just described the full liquid diet as anything you would be able to drink thru one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamrie37 134 Posted June 17, 2012 TY for your answers. Now I don't feel so nervous to add in a spoonful. I absolutely HATE my Protein Powder.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lml32937 65 Posted June 18, 2012 Pre op I used Peanut Butter in almost all my shakes- post op I switched to almond butter and it was a staple- the straw thing didnt bother me I got a really big one that didnt require much sucking- but I also used a spoon as well.
