are we allowed to have peanut butter?

The title says it all. If no is there an alternative? 

I think no because of the fat content but there is an alernative PB2 defatted peanut butter ....it's powdered and I think you add water to it ....try the Low Carb Grocer ....anybody else have any ideas ........

In Ottawa, it is included in the Diet for Life under the list of acceptable proteins - Peanut butter and nut butters. (page 46).

Dr.Sullivan says yes to pnut butter as well :) Just not sure when?? I'm going to ask at my 1 month follow up.  i love pnut butter on apple slices!!

In Ottawa, it is started as smooth peanut butter on the soft diet. (right after pureed).  After soft diet, it is diet for life.

 I dont have an ottawa booklet, and we never got anything like that from HRRH.

The booklet is a handout  during the post-surgical education class.  It is called Your Meal Planner after bariatric surgery.  It covers Optifast, vitamins and what to have at each stage of the post-op diet, including some suggested menus.  It also includes a section at the end called Diet Related Problems after Surgery, which covers Dumping Syndrome, Nausea and Vomiting, Dehydration, Constipation, Diarrhia and Gas.

 at HRRH we do not do a post surgical nutrition class. It's awesome that you guys do.

Wow, didn`t you have an education class just before you meet the surgeon and before surgery?

For us, it included part of a session with the behaviourist and the second half was with the nutritionist.   The booklet was sooooo handy post surgery to read, re-read, and decide on what to eat at each stage.  I loved having it.  So sorry to hear that you didn`t receive something similar. :(

i went through Humber and recieved a booklet, that they called our WLS bible, we were to make sure and bring it with us to hospitol and our appointments. it is for the first month after surgery, then we have another class 1 month post op that teaches us about soft solids and solids
