I was just wondering if anyone has had problems with eating Peanut Butter (in moderation) with the lap band? If you melted it in the microwave to a liquid form, could it be eaten during the full liquid phase? I thought this would be another option of getting in the required Protein grams. Just curious.

Hmmm, I had never thought of melting it in the microwave. It seems like that would taste kind of funky to me. But, I have no problems eating peanut butter in its traditional form.

Just watch the calorie count on it. There are other liquids that have a whole heck of a lot less calories. But in tiny amounts? I don't see a problem.

It's a bit disturbing that it's referred to as PB.

I've heard of people adding it to their smoothies in the liquids/mushies stage. Also, curried Soup is divine with a bit of Peanut Butter in it. I also found that (watered-down) hommous was good too add to Soups in the liquid phase.

Oooh, yes, I put it in soup too, yum.

Often that's my Breakfast - a cup of coffee and a spoonful of Peanut Butter. I find it too thick to eat on toast, I can handle the bread or the peanut butter but not both together. I love it though, but I need to stop at one spoonful.

Dont even get me started on Nutella, I just dont have it in the house!
