My nutritionist said no Peanut Butter YET at my 4 week post-op. Too sticky I guess.

I find Peanut Butter to be tricky because of all the oil they use. Have you looked into PB fit? Probably shouldn't have it right away, but it's better for you than peanut butter.

I had Peanut Butter in my mushies stage, but I had it mixed with Protein Powder, oats, and (well, this was bad) honey. I tried making Protein balls with sugar-free maple Syrup, but that didn't taste nearly as good. I really don't like maple syrup.

I started having 1 tbs of Peanut Butter on a spoon right after my 3rd week it helped me alot. I think people worry about the calories and fat it has in it but i find my body likes some fat like peanut butter and avocados.

My surgeon said no to pretty much all foods. He says think what would u give a 6month baby. Well thats my good excuse cause pediatricians say its good to start alittle peanut butter everyday when there babies so they wont form a allergy to nuts soooo peanut butter is a yes in my book.

And looly, 10 months out, tried p.b. once again, did notwork, did not stay down. My poison, my deadly Kryptonite, perhaps i will just give up and learn to accept it! But it discourages me on a beautiful day.

Frustr8 - at least if you have a Kryptonite, it must mean you are Superman (or woman)! ;-)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
