I'd Like To Try This Recipe For A Peanut Butter & Banana Roll-Up
Hi everyone,
I'm just over 5 months out and I'd love to try this recipe from the HRRH book "The Complete Weight Loss Surgery - Guide & Diet Program", but I wonder about eating an entire 1/2 TBS of PB in one sitting - is that too much fat?
I've tried eating a teaspoon of PB and had no ill effects (no dumping, etc.)
Also, would this replace a meal, or be a snack? I'm not sure if I could eat that much stuff at once - it sounds like more of an occasional treat to me with the comparatively high fat and low protein content.
Peanut Butter and Banana Roll-Up:
1 TBS all-natural peanut butter
1 small whole wheat flour tortilla
1 small banana
Spread PB evenly over tortilla. Lay banana on PB and gently straighten out the curve of the banana. Roll tortilla up tightly and slice into 6 small rounds.
Variation: Use any nut butter.

Thank you, Deirdre,
I'm afraid I just am too paranoid about eating too much fat, although everyone needs some fat to live.
Since 1 tbs of peanut butter didn't cause me any problems, I think I can get away with the full portion.

I would agree with you about the minimal protein, etc. It's just confusing because the book isn't divided into meals/snacks, etc., which isn't an excuse for not knowing which one it is, but I did suspect it wasn't a meal. I do aim for 80+g of protein/day. It tasted great though - after 6 months without having any peanut butter and it was my first try at eating bread (albeit in tortilla form). I just don't want to introduce temptations or bad habits because I know they are slippery slopes... so, it will be considered a special treat on the odd occasion.

Amazingly, my first attempt at eating a 'sandwich' went down with no problems. I'd better buy some of the tortillas IrishNurse suggested. I have a feeling my pouch is pretty tolerant - I've only vomited twice and both times it was my fault, so I don't want to eat too much peanut butter or too many carbs & not enough protein. It's a slippery slope...
