So, I'm struggling to get the calories in. I just can't eat that much food. A couple of bites and I'm done. I've hit a stall this past week. I think due in part of me not getting in the sufficent calorie intake. I get 40 grams from the Isopure (1 daily) and a Protein shake late afternoon another 50 grams....but the calories are not adding up. I started with mushies today. Had 3 bites of an omlette and a hard boiled egg for lunch with a spoon of hummus.

So, is Peanut Butter o.k. to eat 3 weeks out on mushies? it has some calories and protein and low in sugar??? Help

Definitely! Just be sure it's the smooth variety. I still use PB if I'm having a really low calorie day and need a boost.

I did too. You are taking in so few calories, even though peanut butter is high in calories, you would have to

eat an awful lot of it for your calories to be too high for the day. Plus peanut butter is pretty low carb anyway.

I would eat it with something else, like pudding... i find it sticks to my stomach and feels kind of strange all by itself. OR blend it with a Protein Drink...

I started with PB in my Protein drink at 2 weeks! It does have a lot of fat in it but it's tasty and helps the shakes go down plus the protein in thats in there!!!

I used to mix 1-2 tblspn of peanut butter in my Protein Shake. . . if it was chocolate Protein powder i would mix the peanut butter in the protein with skim milk and it tasted just like reeses peanut butter cups. . . if it's vanilla, mix it with skim milk add the peanut butter and it's still pretty good. . .but my favorite was the chocolate one. . .

When I need something....I grab a spoonful of peanut butter. i don't have any problems with it. I asked my surgeon if that was okay 10 days after surgery and he said it was okay...but to remember that it has a high amount of fat. I love it!

I definitely did about a teaspoon about 3-4 weeks out. Reduced fat and creamy only.

I used to eat Peanut Butter just fine, but post-op, I've noticed that the times I have tried it, well it just doesn't sit well. I don't feel sick or nauseated, it's just odd. So now I tend to stay away from it. I will eat an ounce of deluxe mixed nuts and those bump up my calories a lot.

The only reason I'm posting this is just to be careful. A couple of other sleevers have said the same thing about peanut butter, so I know it's not just me.

remember you can do custards too..high cals and soups with cream. I had a cup of la madeline soup....300 cals. took me all day to drink it tho

Thanks everyone, being that I'm lactose intolerent now I thought I might have some weird reaction to peanut butter too. I look at my new belly like a babies...you know no nuts for a year...hahaha...I tried it in a smoothie with the peanut butter...whoa nellie, FILLING
