I didn't try Peanut Butter until after my surgery, during my pureed foods phase. But when I did, OMG, it hit my stomach hard. It wasn't painful, but man, it sat real heavy and for a very long time. Usually, the literature with which they send you home will give you examples of foods that are allowed during each post-op food phases or sample menus. The best thing, IMO, is to stick to your food phases plan and/or to reach out to your nutritionist or medical team.

Oh no. Not my Peanut Butter. I’m not going to ask I know what they will say. Lol I’m just in denial. I really want peanut butter. The rest of the other food smells in the house don’t bother me at all surprisingly. I’m just craving peanut butter. Lol

I ended up buying a big tub of PB2 powder from costco and I mix it into my Protein Shakes. I’ve also added it to my yogurt and cream of wheat. Sometimes I’ll use regular Peanut Butter, but it isn’t the super thick kind. It’s the Kirkland brand that is a little thinner and I haven’t had any issues.

I used powdered Peanut Butter, too (mixed it into things like chocolate Protein shakes). PB2 and/or PBFit - in fact, I still have some and use it occasionally.

My surgeon did not agree with Protein Shakes and had me on skimmed milk. Pre and post surgery. I put unsweetened Peanut Butter in my blender with half a banana and milk as a milk shake. BTW, UK milkshakes come with out ice cream and whipped cream. Loads of Protein, inexpensive and delicious.

Due to my glucose being unstable I was told by my doctor to drink Water diluted Protein Shakes during my liquid phase. I am a type 2 diabetic and my glucose was doing a roller coaster for two days. 110 to 70 to 40 and under in less than 30 minutes.

I definitely like your recipe but I’m not allowed to have any blended drinks with added stuff like fruits. No smoothies. Just Protein shakes.

but thanks for the recipe! I will definitely ask if I can do it later on in another phase.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
