I agree that the I can't believe it's not butter spray is really good. It will give you the taste you're looking for without adding real butter. I too LOVE real butter but am trying to stay away from it. Let us know how it goes! :scared2:

Be aware that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is intended to be used in miniscule amounts. I know that sounds terribly elementary, but I know many people who use it in volume as a butter substitute. Five sprays is a serving, and is considered fat-free.

A bottle of the stuff contains over 800 calories, and is decidedly NOT fat-free. If you open the bottle to pour it, then you're probably better off finding another answer.

I haven't really encountered many foods yet, post-op, for which butter is needed. When I do, I have a tiny bit of the real thing. A teaspoon of butter has 33 calories--not horrendous. And a tiny bit offers so much more flavor than the substitutes, IMO (and has the bonus of being...well, real.)

I have been using butter substiitutes and margarines so long that I don't even like real butter. I use the spray and it works great to give just the flavor without a lot of fat.

I don't use much butter so when I do, I don't deprive myself and I use the real thing. It's better for you than margarine anyway, but you one of the suggestions above to use Olivo is a good one. It tastes great.

Well I use the regular I can't belive it's not butter when cooking, but just changed to olive oil. I still continue loosing with that, but I still use that butter on my food in the past I did use the spray and it is good I think im going to buy that too for when I wanna put it on my food.

Everything in moderation. Even too much of the 'substitutes' are a bad thing.

I use real butter but am just conscious of how much and how often I use it. No substitutes for me, please.

I would use real butter, every once in a while will not hurt you and besides sometimes your body needs the fat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
