In week 4 I ate peanut butter from a spoon and felt sooo sick! I thought maybe it was too soon. Well, last night I ate some apple slices dipped in peanut butter and oh boy!! I suddenly felt like I had the worst flu ever....for two hours I thought I might die! Anyone else have no-no foods??

How far along were you when you tried the second time?

Ice cream and frozen yogurt. It comes out of both ends almost immediately.

Have you tried PB2? A lot of fat taken out. It would have to be mixed with something to dip apples in but I have been using it in my chocolate Protein shakes and it is WONDERFUL!

Oh, that would make me so sad! I love having a spoonful of peanut butter a few times a week. The only thing that makes me feel really sick is greasy food (like onion rings) which is good cause I don't need it anyway and it keeps me from wanting to eat it.

I am 7 weeks post op.

Wheat is NOT my friend. I am OK with that though because I am not a bread fan and I have found a quinoa Pasta or I sub zucchini or squash for noodles, White potatoes make me sick but sweet potatoes do not. Also, sugar makes me feel horrible. Between the white giving e constipation and sugar giving me diarrhea I am allergic to most artificial sweetners-nutrasweet especially so I have created some rhymes:

1-If it is white it is not all right

2-If it is sweet retreat

3-Keep your new stomach pristine and eat clean

Gingi that sounds horrible but I like the rhyme lol. Are you doing ok overall?

Some thoughts about Peanut Butter ...

How many of you have measured out an even tablespoon of peanut butter?

Having done that recently, I was surprised to see that a tablespoon of peanut butter is about half the amount my brain thought a tablespoon of PB would be.

And since one tablespoon of peanut butter is very high (95 calories - yikes!) for only 4 grams of Protein, I've decided that two tablespoons of peanut butter (what it takes to thinly cover a piece of bread or a Wasa multigrain cracker) is simply not worth 190 calories it "costs" me.

And plus it makes me deathly ill. Lol...be gone peanut butter!

I am actually doing great. Fortunately I never really had a sweet tooth and I have learned to substitute dried quinoa for bread crumbs in recipes so it's not so bad!

Great! May try that quinoa tip!

@ lucky1gg33 Are you sure it wasnt the apples or maybe the sugar content of the PB was too much!!! I had a spoonfull of Pb low sugar skippy and it was a mouth orgasm!! I loved it yummy????

I avoided it during the loss phase as well for these reasons, but it helps me keep the calories up for maintenance!

I just started to have Pb and I love the taste and consistincy! However I have a friend who makes it for me and it has no sugar and its sweeted with all natural local organic honey!!! It satisfies that need texture.

There are a several peanut butters on the market with no sweetener at all, just peanuts and salt. I use Laura Scudders
