Will Peanut Butter get stuck in your pouch after rny? I know a stupid question I’ve been scared since surgery(March 20,2019) to try to eat it and just melted some and licked the spoon then dipped a part of a banana in it and ate it it was to sticky for my mouth so I decided to drizzle it on the banana but now I’m sitting here wondering if it’s even possible for peanut butter to get stuck in your pouch after surgery.

I haven’t heard of that happening & it didn’t happen to me.

I've been eating it since my soft phase because I wanted something to chew (crunchy PB). No issues here ever. I literally have a teaspoon a day

Peanut Butter stays in your stomach longer it seems. It does not seem to digest as fast. I don't think you will have a problem with it, depending on when and what else you are eating.

If I come under my protien goal, I'll have some Peanut Butter just to add some more. It doesnt seem to bother me but I try to limit myself to 1 teaspoon since it has so many dang calories.

No. But some people have issues with nuts and nutbutters close out from surgery. Other's don't.

I personally couldn't handle the full fat kind until probably about 1 year out. Same thing with large volume of nuts/seeds. I still really have to keep it to 1/2-3/4oz of nuts/seeds to be super comfy. It would sit in my pouch like led and make me feel very nauseated. I think it's cuz of the fat content? But I had no issues using the vitacost Peanut Butter Slim Peanut Butter powder reconstituted or used in smoothies etc. Not nearly as good for sure, but it wouldn't stick around and make me feel like pukin'!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
