Has anyone tried this on the soft puréed stage? I just licked some off a spoon and it tasted heavenly! I would assume it's ok as long as you are not eating it by the spoonful! Thoughts?

I never had it prior to reaching goal, and on the liquid pureed stage, I could have nothing that wouldn't go through a straw....since I am in maintenence I have a measured amount now. I am not sure it is going to "hurt" you, it may not cause a leak, but Peanut Butter is HIGH, HIGH, HIGH in calories. 100 calories per tablespoon. It is NOT a good choice, at least I would say it is not. I mean, sure, between it and a Twinkie, it will win hands down, but I'd think twice. Remember this, "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD" Now is your honeymoon period, make the most of it and develop self control and good habits that you will have to adhere to for the rest of your life.

Peanut Butter in small amounts (no more than 2 T.) is recommended for my puree stage, as long as it fits within my calorie budget for the day. Only creamy peanut butter though!

I agree with both comments above. It is high in calories so you have to make sure it is in your quota for the day. :)

I'm not even close to getting my required calories in, so that's why I thought it may be a good idea for me right now.

I have Peanut Butter once in while. It's a good source of MUSF and OK in moderation within your calorie budget.

i am 32 days post-op and i added a spoonful of all natural Peanut Butter to my Protein Shake on thursday and got sick as a dog. i had "dumping syndrome" bad. i was at class and i had to leave and spent 35 minutes in the bathroom. i had the shakes, sweats, headache, retching and a terrible stomach pain. i look like death warmed over when i went back to class. so i'm not having peanut butter again any time soon.

I'm still preop but a good amount of people I've spoke to use PB2. It's powdered and a lot less fat.

Interesting, I keep seeing people post about their 'required daily calories'. I never had a required number until I reached goal, then I had to hit 1300 or else I keep losing. The first six months, while I was losing, I started out at 350 calories and never went above 800 calories per day and I wasn't getting 700 - 800 until the last month, which would be at month 5 post-op. I was healthy, labs were good and I felt great and felt GOOD about eating so few calories. I still under eat my sleeve and love it that calories are so low, even at 3 yrs out.

      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?

      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.
