Peanut Butter



Recommended Posts

This is funny but I am only on my first week but when can I have Peanut Butter again? I like it as a snack. I would get a teaspoon with a little on there and eat that and it was filling. Thanks.

Peanut Butter was on my pureed list - that was starting the 3rd week following surgery. I had 1/2 a container of the Jiff to Go pack an about an hour after eating it I got really sick. Haven't tried it again but I do feel like I found a cure for constipation! LOL

I was allowed creamy Peanut Butter 2nd week. 2 tsp with 2 saltine crackers. Had to eat it VERY slowly!!

Warning though at least for me. Could eat it one day and not the next. Who knows. Had 1 tsp pb with a cracker yesterday and was fine. (5 1/2 weeks out now)

Have you heard of PB2? Check Amazon.com or your local store. I am actually allowed this immediately after surgery and love it in my chocolate nectar Protein Shake. 2TB PB2 - 1 scoop Protein mix - 2tsp of SF banana coffee Syrup & 1/2 cup milk. Ymmmm!

Try to find Jif low sodium PB cuz the sodium in regular PB is too high. Can be dangerous if you eat too much so eat sparingly. Also fat grams are high in PB. I am 8 months out and just spread a very thin layer on a rice cake ainly just for the taste. Really good but then I started craving two of them every evning. So I stopped buying rice cakes so I wouldn't eat the PB. My doctor says PB is not a good idea because of the fat.

I love it too. Only thing is I can't eat more than 3 tbsp in a week. Haven't figured that out yet - its like something says STOP ... ????

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
