Okay, I've always loved Jif Peanut Butter. After lapband surgery on 09/19/13, when I finally starting introducing soft and reg foods after the 2 week liquid and 1 week mushie, I would come home from work and eat my 4oz for supper and then find myself feeling hungry an hour or so afterwards. I know this is probably more habit then hunger at night, as I would eat a few times after supper. I tried some greek plain yogurt and added 2 T of PB along with 3 or 4 splenda's with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla and I was hooked!

Now, instead of coming home and eating the meals I prepared for the week, I eat this yogurt/pb instead because I did not want to overdo it with both, and the yogurt has 15-20 grams of Protein and the pb has 7.. But then lately I've been getting more than 2 T PB and even go back later for more PB or another round before going to bed. Tonight I stopped by the store and got another jar along with sunflower seeds hoping it would help me feel more satisfied. Damn Comfort Food!!

When I do eat this, I find some discomfort with the PB as I feel it is sticking, but I continue to eat it because it is soooo good!

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions on how to get away from this (nightly snacking) would be more than welcome. I need a swift kick in the butt!!! I've lost 32 lbs as of my last dr visit on 10/31/13 and am due form my 2nd fill Nov 21st. I'm afraid I may start putting weight back on.

Newbie here..... Just banded on Monday. I tried contacting my Dr office with this question with no response on Friday. I am currently on full liquids and allowed yogurt. Since I can't stomach plain yogurt I was wondering if I can add pb2 or natural peanut butter to the yogurt. Suggestions?

Adding cinnamon and vanilla with splenda is really good. Just need to be careful with the pb as it may stick. Good luck!

Stick? Like stick to the band and clog it up? Lol. Im sorry, i donyt mean to be funny, im so new at all this and i didnt even think that could hapoen eating pb. Ahhhhhh

Oh gosh I can relate. It is the one thing I can't seem to give up at night. I try to stick to a smear on a cracker biscuit each night and have tried replacing it with ricotta but isn't the same. So I give myself the permission given I am so strict about what else I eat

Oh my! I eat peanut butter every morning for breakfast on a graham cracker. Is that bad? I thought I was eating healthily.

I like to add PB to my morning smoothie....goes good with chocolate and a 1/2 banana...

I have many shake recipes and PB plays a big part in many of them....

Go through a lot of PB in our house...good protein when added with 100% whey....

I am so looking fwd to my whey protein shake with the PB and banana! I think I can have that now in my full liquids phase:)
