Peanut Butter

[amandasue 27]

I feel like I am hungry and weak. Would love to eat just a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. Good idea or no? I am 2 weeks post op. I was going to just kind of suck on it. I can't eat yogurt anymore...I'm am sensitive to lactose and it's killing me. The last pre made Protein shake I had I burst out in an allergic rash all over......I need something to "hold me" and "sustain me". Running after a toddler and infant and going back to work tomorrow. Good idea or no?

I felt sick after PB for nearly a month. If you can do yogurt you could probably do PB. Eat it super slowly.

At 2 weeks I was released for soft foods. What does your plan say?

At two weeks post op I was on full liquids so Peanut Butter would have been a "no" but PB2 in a shake or pudding would have been ok.

By the time I was on soft foods, Peanut Butter (in small amounts) was allowed.

What does your program materials or NUT say?

I am also 2 weeks out.... I can tell you everyone's plan is different. I can start blended at 2 weeks and other say they can start at 4-6 weeks...

Anyway Peanut Butter is listed as "AVOID" on my program

My biggest problem with experimenting with Peanut Butter was the fact that I can not drink enough Water to wash it down and it gets hung up in my throat.

I waited until cleared for solid food before I tried PB. When I did I found that as Miss Mac mentions it is very thick and slow to go down so be very careful. Now at 3 months out I eat a little on a very thin slice of apple without peel and really enjoy it. I can still only tolerate very little but I really enjoy it.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm on clear broth, Protein Shakes, puréed fruit or plain yogurt only. One week 2 of 3. I did put some PB2 in my yogurt and it helped. Of course the yogurt gives me the runs (lol sorry tmi!). 1 more week I can do this!!

At that stage, everything gave me the runs liquid in. Liquid out.

I will have a tiny lick of PB, but anything more than a 1/4 tsp is way too heavy. The little taste is enough for my craving though. Good luck!
