I do too :/ I found I started losing when I stopped munching on cheese--I need to get a food journal...

I snack on low fat string cheese when I get hungry between meals, not often but that's my go to snack.

I incorporate cheese often, but in tiny amounts. Dabs of goat cheese in my salad, or melted grated cheese on refried Beans. Just enough for the taste and a hit of Calcium and Protein. I never, however, just eat it on its own.

cheese is a good go to snack for me. I eat the Babybells or a like snack. But, don't forget to include it if you count your calories. Karen

While cheese can be a high fat/calorie snack, as long as you are tracking calories it's fine. I frequently eat weight watcher cheese sticks - they are 70 calories and yummy with a small handful of grapes, keeps my snack calorie count a little less than 200 and that is where I like it.

Try to find low fat cheese. It isn't as bad as it once was, it is actually pretty good now. I fine I really like Weight watchers brand, but the 2% kind is also good.

I think Sargento light string cheese is only 50 cals, don't quote me on that, I'm going by memory.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
