Can you eat peanut butter, yes or no??



Recommended Posts

I, too, can eat peanut butter...with no problem. I usually put some on a graham cracker. It's a great source of Protein and that combination seems to keep the hunger away for quite some time.

I have not had any problems with Peanut Butter but I have not eaten by the spoonful. I usually put a 1/2 T. in my Protein Shake because I like the taste. My other favorite thing is to take a no sugar added fudgesicle and a tsp on Natural Peanut Butter. Microwave in a bowl about 12 seconds just until fudgesicle comes off stick, mix them together and add a small dollop of cool whip. Fold that in and put it back in the freezer. It makes a really yummy not too bad for you dessert. SOmetimes I like it really frozen and other times I like it not as frozen and more like a mousse. So good and takes care of my decadent cravings!

Powdered Peanut Butter? ?? Somehow I doubt that would taste as good spread on my Wasa cracker. LOL! Must be good in a smoothie though!

You mix 2 tablespoons of powdered Peanut Butter with 1 tablespoon of Water for a sandwich. It's so good. Just like fresh peanuts without all the other added things that are bad for us. Also, you can mix it directly into whatever kind of jelly you like for PB and J! Awesome. I use the real fruit jelly with no sugar added or sugar free. :)

I have to be careful with anything on crackers.

I try to stay away from Peanut Butter as I'm prone to eating it by big spoonfuls.

Hey Jacqui, I had Vegemite on a salada the other day and it hurt so badly!:) I can't eat crackers anymore. Susannah

I have always loved me some Peanut Butter, I can eat it with no problems so far since being banded. bread and I don't get along right now, so I eat it on celery, or alone. just not very often....

For me Peanut Butter is a very satisfying snack. Yes, the fat content is high, but my surgeon even said that a little fat will stave off hunger for longer and he recommends peanut butter. He is not into a totally fat free diet. I don't eat it often, but a heaping teaspoon does wonders. I get the low fat, sugar free style. I blob it on a spoon and slowly suck it off the spoon. Not to much at one time.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
