Has anyone mixed in a bit of pb in their protein shake and blended until smooth during the full liquid diet phase? The only stipulation I was given during this phase is as long as I can drink it thru a straw (but don't drink thru straw) I can have it.

I did that with peanut butter. Worked well for me. also i can use a straw well, it helps me keep my fluid in take going.

I use a product called PB2 in my protein shakes. It's powered PB with 85% less fat. I bought it on Amazon.com.

My NUT told me not to drink thru a straw as well. They just described the full liquid diet as anything you would be able to drink thru one.

TY for your answers. Now I don't feel so nervous to add in a spoonful. I absolutely HATE my protein powder.

Pre op I used peanut butter in almost all my shakes- post op I switched to almond butter and it was a staple- the straw thing didnt bother me I got a really big one that didnt require much sucking- but I also used a spoon as well.
