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!

I can, and I can eat it with crackers.

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.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
