I love peanut butter.

I love Peanut Butter but I have no idea if it's OK to have right now. I like getting just a spoonful as a snack but I'm afraid to eat it right now. Any ideas or suggestions?

How many weeks are you post op?

[hpendleton0126 2]

Just a week but I'm having a hard time kicking the craving. I just didn't really see how it would hurt.

[voutman 15]

I would say no only by what my doctors phases were! I wasn't able to have Peanut Butter until the 4th week! I'd check with your doctor as I am the type that has followed every order and didn't cheat!

Are you on liquids? I had sugar free Popsicles to crave my sweet tooth! It does get better....

I'm almost 3 months post op and down 64lbs

I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you. I was doing really good the most part but the last couple of days I guess I've just been mourning food because I see everyone around me eating my favorite foods. Hopefully it will pass. Congrats to you also. Btw what did you use to get your Protein in?

[voutman 15]

In the beginning it was alot of Protein shakes but as time when on I puréed chicken and tuna added cheese! Ate a lot of refried Beans and string cheese....each week gets easier trust me!

I also have to eat gluten free so it made my diet that much harder

[hpendleton0126 2]

Thank you so much for support. It has helped a lot.

No problem! That's what we are here for!

I might add the cottage cheese, yogurt and fish are great sources of protein!

I'm 17 days out and introduced Peanut Butter a few days ago. My surgeon wants me on cottage cheese, yogurt, and scrambled eggs for another week, but I've done so well with those I didn't think creamy Peanut Butter would hurt and in fact my stomach has done very well with it.

Whoa! Good job. 64 pounds in 3 weeks is insane fast.

I've been making a "peanut butter cookie" cream of wheat and/or steel cut oatmeal for myself and my kids. Tablespoon of PB2 powder, and some equal brown sugar (or whatever that stuff is, the one that isn't straight brown sugar.) A little butter or cream on top. It's great for those days that you want a little something carby in your belly in the morning and the PB2 adds to the Protein a little without adding a lot of extra.

When you're in full liquids you can also add it to shakes. Great taste.

It is not "ok" you are only a few days out..

I would go into all the reasons but really If you look at your guidelines I'm sure you will not see it on the approved list.

Have you tried PB2? It's a dry Peanut Butter powder. Add a scoop or two to a vanilla Protein Shake, and handle that craving in a safe way.
