Can you eat peanut butter, yes or no??



Recommended Posts

I, too, can eat peanut butter...with no problem. I usually put some on a graham cracker. It's a great source of Protein and that combination seems to keep the hunger away for quite some time.

I have not had any problems with Peanut Butter but I have not eaten by the spoonful. I usually put a 1/2 T. in my Protein Shake because I like the taste. My other favorite thing is to take a no sugar added fudgesicle and a tsp on Natural Peanut Butter. Microwave in a bowl about 12 seconds just until fudgesicle comes off stick, mix them together and add a small dollop of cool whip. Fold that in and put it back in the freezer. It makes a really yummy not too bad for you dessert. SOmetimes I like it really frozen and other times I like it not as frozen and more like a mousse. So good and takes care of my decadent cravings!

Powdered Peanut Butter? ?? Somehow I doubt that would taste as good spread on my Wasa cracker. LOL! Must be good in a smoothie though!

You mix 2 tablespoons of powdered Peanut Butter with 1 tablespoon of Water for a sandwich. It's so good. Just like fresh peanuts without all the other added things that are bad for us. Also, you can mix it directly into whatever kind of jelly you like for PB and J! Awesome. I use the real fruit jelly with no sugar added or sugar free. :)

I have to be careful with anything on crackers.

I try to stay away from Peanut Butter as I'm prone to eating it by big spoonfuls.

Hey Jacqui, I had Vegemite on a salada the other day and it hurt so badly!:) I can't eat crackers anymore. Susannah

I have always loved me some Peanut Butter, I can eat it with no problems so far since being banded. bread and I don't get along right now, so I eat it on celery, or alone. just not very often....

For me Peanut Butter is a very satisfying snack. Yes, the fat content is high, but my surgeon even said that a little fat will stave off hunger for longer and he recommends peanut butter. He is not into a totally fat free diet. I don't eat it often, but a heaping teaspoon does wonders. I get the low fat, sugar free style. I blob it on a spoon and slowly suck it off the spoon. Not to much at one time.

      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.
