I don't know the right answer... I guess the right one is "if the results you are getting are the results you want, then you are doing the right thing!" :) :)

However, there are some PB options out there like Better N Peanut Butter. This is NOT the PB2 we often talk about, which I love too, but this is about half way between the two. It is creamy and yummy and I know it has half the calories, but not sure where the fat content is for it.

Good for you tho for getting that protein in!! :)

Have you tried PB2-powdered peanut butter? I like it just as much as peanut butter, you can mix it with water for peanut butter, or into a shake, it has 1.5g fat/45 cal per 2 tablespoons. Funny, the chocolate PB2 only has 1g fat/45 cal for the same 2 tablespoons. I buy it on Amazon, that is the best deal I have found.

There is a Jiff whipped Peanut butter out there. I haven't tried it but it has less cals in it, I don't know about the fat content but I am sure you could google it and get the nut information.
I wish I had thought or been allowed Peanut butter earlier on after sleeve surgery. I was only getting 200-300 cals in a day and hardly any protein the first month or so and Peanut butter would have helped but I wasn't allowed to consume it till further on post op. I wouldn't worry about the fat but focus on the protein and liquids. How far out are you from WLS?
I do use PB2 in my protein shake every morning too!

Why do you say the calorie intake and fat are not good? What does your plan call for? My plan called for me to get 50g of protein and not count calories or fat or carbs.

You're still early out from surgery. As you begin to be able to tolerate more and more proteins, that peanut butter will likely fade away to an occasional treat.

A couple thoughts...

My program allowed peanut butter, but only twice a week.

At the beginning my program had us using low fat options, but it isn't necessary to "count fat grams." Aim for 70 grams of protein and stay away from carbs. You really only need to worry about fat if it causes digestive problems.

Honestly, the low fat versions of things usually have artificial ingredients and more carbs. "Real" food is healthier.

Just my take. :)

my old bariatric and new bariatric programs did not do calories per say we do a balanced diet with one snack a day after week 7. the one Im in now also stops protein supplements on week 3 po. so that being said .........well done on the intake. I still have issues and if I don't get enough protein I start feeling ill so I do relate to the frustration of trying to get it in.

Maybe you could call your nut on the other factors? She may have an easier way for you to balance it all and still get what they want for you.

I'd call your nutritionist. Eating enough protein, is aiding you in your weight loss, and it's really important. I've read a lot about protein being SO very important to your recovery, and healing too.

I'm sure they will have ideas on how to get MORE protein, in ways you can stomach.

I need to find a new Nut....my entire surgeon's office have been total asses post surgery. I compared notes with a friend who had surgery a few days before me at a different program....

I am so sorry your WLS program is helping you post op. I am so thankful for my WLS program they are there for me for life! I can call anytime to ask a question or get an appointment to see the nut, surgeon, pysch or bariatric physical therapist. I am thankful my program is there for me at anytime for the rest of my life. I hope you find a new one you are happy with.
