Ok. I'm 11 days post op and I put 1TB of Peanut Butter in my Protein shake. Is that ok? On some web sites I read its ok on some they say stay away. What's your opinion?

I sometimes add just a teaspoon of creamy to mine. And my nutritionist gave me some recipes and one called to add it so I figured its ok.

Some day stay away because Peanut Butter is very high in fat... Alot of RNY patients use PB2 which is a powder form of peanut butter that has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You can find it at GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe and Walmart. You can simply add it to your Protein Shake and its very good!!

When did someone actuslly start it on toast? I'm craving toast pb and bannanas. I'm almost 4 wks out. But not sure if too soon.

Week 6 or 7....as soon as I was cleared for toast I had Peanut Butter toast :). Little piece of heaven!!!

I went through a phase where I ate it off a spoon when I needed energy. I frequently eat it now for a bedtime snack. We buy a whole grain artisan bread that I slice very thin and toast it, spread a tablespoon of PB on it.

One of my favorite night time Snacks is half a frozen banana with a little Peanut Butter. In moderation it's good because its high Protein. But if you're a PB lover, go with the PB2 for the less fat version.

I looked at Nutella today. The sugar content is double my limit. My but says you can mix the PB2 with a little Water as a Peanut Butter substitute. The consistency is different but it's supposed to taste like peanut butter, only minus the fat. I'm sure it'll give you the taste you want with your bananas.

It kinda gives you the taste but not the richness or creaminess. I won't use it again for that purpose.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
