Peanut butter?

[sarahbethemails 68]

Anyone allowed to eat Peanut Butter? My doc says I can have some to get Protein in since I don't do shakes just found this odd

My NUT still wants me to avoid Peanut Butter and I'm almost 2 years out. Mostly because of the fats in it though. I haven't tried PB2 yet, though I have bought it. And I don't remember now when it is ok to have that. Someone else will surely know and respond to that.

In my program, low fat Peanut Butter is allowed as a soft food. I don't really agree with this, as my previous surgeon would not have allowed it.

There are so many differences in diet, if you NUT says it is allowed, some Protein is better the no Protein.< /p>

I eat Peanut Butter with my apples a couple times a week but I measure to ensure I don't over do given the high fat content and sugar.

This is a slippery slope for me because since my surgery I absolutely LOVE the smell and taste of Peanut Butter. Yum!

It is probably one of my favorite treats.

Thank you everyone when did you start having Peanut Butter and apples apples are still a couple weeks out for me before I hit solids

Also the shake I was doing had 160 calories in it the PB2 has less calories maybe not as much Protein but again like you say some protein is better than none!! Haha

Update I tried Peanut Butter and crackers both for the first time today and went great!! I'm glad cause I need lots of Protein right now!!

I am allowed 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter per day when I get to the soft food stage

Mine says its fine but only a serving size, just don't over do it.

Try PB2. You can get on unjury.com or in your local GNC

[miiasan 370]

PB2 is also sold at Walmart - in the Peanut Butter section

PB2 is sold at my supermarket and found where they have Protein Drinks and food supplements. I think it tastes great.

The PB2 is wonderful. I added a tsp to my vanilla Greek yogurt. Delish.
