Can we have PB or not

NOOOO!! Lol, follow the doc's orders...5 days out is way way too early for Peanut Butter. It's sticky and can be really tough to get down. I can't eat it without drinking so I choose not to eat it at all. You need to wait until you are cleared for soft foods which is a long ways away. I know it's hard but be patient otherwise you are going to be in pain. Soon you will be able to eat more things! Try pudding when you are cleared for full liquids, it tastes good and helped me feel more full than clears. You have to let your tummy heal, it's been through a lot! I promise it's worth the wait though!!

I forgot about PB2, you can find it at health food stores and occasionally grocery stores. It's basically powdered Peanut Butter that you put into shakes. If you put it into a chocolate shake it tastes like peanut butter cups..yum! Or, put it in vanilla to taste lots of peanut butter. It's good for you and tastes amazing!

      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.
