So I was banded on May 13th and I just started my blended diet phase. Since I'm not allowed to eat meat yet I'm powering up on Protein shakes. Just now at work I was in the break room kitchen whipping up some Slim Fast Protein powder, 1% milk (I can't do skim - blech), ice and for added protein some organic, creamy Peanut Butter. Yummm! I brought in my all-in-one blender (it's small - you can drink from the container) and was just getting ready to add the peanut butter.

Then all hell broke loose. :frown:

I purchased the organic peanut butter at costco last night and honestly, I didn't see all the oils floating on the top. I even looked. I took off the cap and went to peel back the safety foil/film when "SPLASH!!!" all the oil jumped out of the jar and attacked me. I'm covered in peanut oil.

I've tried to rinse off in the sink (basically took another bath), but I know I still smell like peanuts.

Sigh. What we do for a diet.

On a better note, my shake is pretty good. :sad:

Okay, you made me laugh! :sad:

Sorry about your mishap though.

Sorry, but that sounds like something I would do. Welcome to Bandland. Hang in there! There are things that smell worse than peanut butter.

OK, get this almost the same type of story, nothing to do with the band though. We were taking sandwich fixing up the mountain (think high elevation) and we had purchased a bottle of the squeeze type of mayonaise and when we got to the top, I couldn't get the dang foil off the lid, so I used my teeth to pull it free, and yup, just like you, I ended up with mayo ALL OVER MY FACE. But at least it was good for the skin..... right??????? oh well. thought I'd just share the story. But yes the things we do for diets....

Yes, you made me laugh tonight. I remember a few years back I went to the cafeteria at work, fixed a sandwich and went to the condiment station, and pushed down on the mustard spicket (sp?). It was clogged and shot out all over my new blouse, face, glasses and hair. I was quite a picture, and it was a long walk to the ladies restroom !
