My nutritionist said no Peanut Butter YET at my 4 week post-op. Too sticky I guess.

I find Peanut Butter to be tricky because of all the oil they use. Have you looked into PB fit? Probably shouldn't have it right away, but it's better for you than peanut butter.

I had Peanut Butter in my mushies stage, but I had it mixed with Protein Powder, oats, and (well, this was bad) honey. I tried making Protein balls with sugar-free maple Syrup, but that didn't taste nearly as good. I really don't like maple syrup.

I started having 1 tbs of Peanut Butter on a spoon right after my 3rd week it helped me alot. I think people worry about the calories and fat it has in it but i find my body likes some fat like peanut butter and avocados.

My surgeon said no to pretty much all foods. He says think what would u give a 6month baby. Well thats my good excuse cause pediatricians say its good to start alittle peanut butter everyday when there babies so they wont form a allergy to nuts soooo peanut butter is a yes in my book.

And looly, 10 months out, tried p.b. once again, did notwork, did not stay down. My poison, my deadly Kryptonite, perhaps i will just give up and learn to accept it! But it discourages me on a beautiful day.

Frustr8 - at least if you have a Kryptonite, it must mean you are Superman (or woman)! ;-)

      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.
