string cheese & sushi



Recommended Posts

I each sushi fine. California rolls are 43 cal a piece :) 4-6 pieces fills me up. And as far as string cheese I like Sargento but the Babybel cheese has fewer calories and its fun to open :)

Are you talking calories as in dieting? Or what is tolerated by the band?

Weight Watchers string cheese has 50 calories. I have a hard time with sushi unless I remove the seaweed.

I like the flavor of Babybel light better than sting cheese, and yes I can eat sushi, but YMMV

That's what I like about you B-52, you're so thorough with each inquiry. I would have thought that as a band tolerance question but the fact that a calorie count on the sushi was mentioned it could have been a caloric diet inquiry. Personally speaking, I love sushi but cannot tolerate white rice related to the band.

Don't eat sushi, but had no trouble tolerating string cheese. Now, don't eat it due to lactose intolerance. But, as someone else said, Babybel is good so is Sargento. i don't do low-fat/no fat due to the higher sugar content.

cheese at room temperature tastes so much better that cold cheese, especially with sting cheese and babybel. You could also put it in the microwave for a few seconds.

Fat free, reduced fat, & low fat are foods that should never enter you body (in my humble opinion). Why? Full fat foods are less processed and have less industrially engineered ingredients/chemicals. If you're making smart choices and working with the band, I don't think you should worry about those products.

I just had Sashimi for dinner tonight and it went fine, it easier to chew, high Protein and you avoid the sticky rice. I did have sticky rice on the side, but after 8 pieces of Sashimi, I only ate about 3 tablespoons before I hit my limit. I have eaten Sushi with no problems, but the rice fills you up fast and can cause people problems pretty easily. Kroger has a colby and mozarella combo string cheese that is really good.

????? Question I'm going to be starting mushies and there is sum meal someone suggested as a lazana bowl its cottage cheese Pasta sauce mozzarella and parm is th as t safe any sugestions on any others r is this ok

I used to make something similar when I lost 40# with Atkins. I called it PIM, or, pizza in a mug... Except I used ricotta and not cottage. Mozzarella cheese can be real chewy.... I would wait till the "normal" phase.

I made lasagna cups as part of my post op using small ramekins.

1 cup low fat/fat free cottage cheese

1 cup low fat/fat free ricotta cheese

1 egg beaten

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Mix it all together and divide into sprayed ramekins. It should make about 8 of them. Top with a little bit of your favorite marinara and bake at 350 for about 30 mins.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
