I went looking for some Diet Butter or Margarine and just got more comfused, so I would like to know which kind you just, and also my Dr. said to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, does anyone else us it or do we have to, or can we use some other kind? as that stuff cost so much and I would not use it before it goes bad thanks for any help

For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Okay, I will probably be flamed for this but I do not trade taste of butter for a FEW calories. I still use butter and will always do that. I cannot STAND the taste of margarine, cannot STAND the smell of it melting in a pan either. I will use less of butter than trade the taste of it. This is just me and is not medical advice at all. You have to do what is best for you and you alone. Christine

I rarely cook and don't use alot but when I need to I use Country Crock. To me it tastes fine and I used it before my surgery. I think it has 40% less fat than margerine or butter. So, I'm sticking with that. We can have some fat, just can't go hog wild...lol

Regards and hugs,
