Peanut sauce?

[Sleeved36 356]

I LOVE thai food and can make lots of things "healthy".

Can't seem to find a good recipe for peanut sauce. Any ideas? Maybe something with PB2?

Google "Bariatric friendly *insert food here*" and you'll find TONS of foods.

The emilybites one is good, all her food is.

I love the Bariatric Eating site, but some of their recipes make no sense to me - using actual Peanut Butter full of sugar and low quality oils? Why eat that garbage when there are better alternatives for your new lifestyle??

I assumed they meant to have readers use natural Peanut Butter (Farm stand style peanut butter / only ingredient is peanuts type peanut butter). But they didn't state either way so, I understand your reservations.

True. But you probably made that assumption because you have knowledge of what healthy eating post-op is supposed to look like. It’s sad to see so many people on these forums that went through surgery with a program that spent little to no time on educating what food is healthy and why it’s healthy.

For those whose program failed them but want to commit to a healthy lifestyle, they will go to a website like Bariatric Eating and trust that everything on that site is exactly as it should be. And they follow those recipes religiously but still wonder why they are losing weight or are we gaining weight.

It just irritates me the amount of misinformation out there for people that truly need to relearn the right way to eat. Ok off my soapbox now. Lol

It is truly sad that many programs don't have a greater emphasis on healthy eating. I only had to visit a NUT one time to have surgery. Surely, that wasn't enough time to ingrain all the do's and don'ts for life after WLS. Nonetheless, I did a lot of research and use my common sense. And you are right, unfortunately you can't just trust that a bariatric friendly website is going to have healthy recipes or products.

I made one that was basically blended peanuts and a tiny bit of oil of your choice add both slowly bit by bit then a little Water to thin out and cut calories 

but caution it's high calorie so you'll use a lot of caloric intake for nothing basically
