Since I am not yet banded, I can not speak for myself, but someone at the last support meeting that I attended says that creamy Peanut Butter has been a life saver for him! He puts some on a teaspoon and sucks on it slowly over a period of a few minutes. He says that it helps satisfy his sweet tooth and helps to curb his hunger.

Thats exactly what I do! Gotta be careful though as Peanut Butter is a bit high in calories. I buy Skippy creamy and 2 Tablespoons is 190 calories :)

I haven't been banded yet either, I LOVE Peanut Butter though. Maybe I need to stay away from it. I like the Skippy Natural creamy peanut butter. It is delicious.

I think I likely could, but PB is one thing I haven't had since banding. I LOVE LOVE it. But, it is so high in calories for just 2tbsp (mine is also 190c for 2tbsp), I have yet to be able to eat it. If I'm gonna have 190c, I want a bowl of ice cream lol.

I look at it in the pantry every once in a while and debate just getting a spoonful, but so far I haven't.

I don't buy it, I don't eat it. Too many calories in one little spoonful. LauraJ put it perfectly -- for 190 calories I could eat a bowl of frozen yogurt! (I try not to eat that, either)

I can eat the "oily" nut butters. I cannot eat skippy, jif or anything like that. I have also mixed Peanut Butter with silky tofu and a little honey and that is really good and goes down well.

      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.
