I’ve been searching and can’t find the answer, I am on full liquids can I have creamy Peanut Butter? Thank you!

It varies from doctor to doctor so I would ask your team. Some say nut butters are fine, while others don't. I was on a "clear" liquid diet so I couldn't.

if you're on full liquids, then no. Once you're on soft foods, it depends on your surgeon. I didn't eat it the first few months. It's pretty high in calories.

Generally I've never seen Peanut Butter on the approved list, but I did check on powdered peanut butter and was told I could add it to my Protein Shakes in the full liquid phase. The difference is the powdered (PB2 or similar) is significantly lower in fat than real peanut butter.

Thank you everyone for your help!

I love PB2 - still get to have Peanut Butter, but in smaller portions and it's so much lower in fat.

Definitely not in liquids. All you might be able to do is try a Peanut Butter flavour powder & add it to your shakes. I wasn’t allowed peanut butter until maintenance. Though it has Protein it’s not a lot & it’s high fat (even the natural ones) & often high in added sugar. I enjoy a teaspoonful as one of my snack options now but my fat intake is low & sugar is very low so I can get away with it.

Check with your team/dietician as to when you can add it & how much you can have.

I bought a bottle of Peanut Butter flavoring on line and add a dash to my food and/or drinks. A couple drops into the powdered peanut butter really boosts the flavor.

PB2 is great! That’s what I eat too if I want Peanut Butter.

For those that don’t know this is a powder form of peanut butter. You get to adjust the consistency by how much Water you add. It’s also reduced in fat and sugar.

The easiest way to tell if you can have something like Peanut Butter on a liquid diet as explained to me by my dietician "if you tip the containers over and it spills out - its a liquid, if not - its not." Simplistic I know..but it answered my question when I asked about peanut butter.
