Are there any bandsters out there that can't live without cheese? I have always eaten and loved cheese; however, since being banded, it's like I can't live without it. I have to have a cheese stick, or slice or shredded cheese every single day. Can anyone else relate?

I have always loved cheese and still do! I buy the big bag of mini baby bell light cheeses at my local costco (wholesale club) and have one or two daily for only 50 calories each. Good Protein too so ENJOY =)

I eat lots of cheese! Honestly, I'd prefer good cheese to chocolate any day. At any given time, we have four or five different kinds in the fridge.

I eat cheese daily. It's a great snack because it's a source of Protein. I'm just careful to count the calories in my daily allowance.

I LOVE cheese! I always have a huge supply on hand. I wrap thinly sliced turkey around a stick of Weight Watcher's string cheese and it is delicious! I'm going to look and see if I can find any reviews on the Unjury cheese sauce.

my first year of banding i mostly lived on cheese. Laughing Cow and Crunchmaster multi grain crackers.... I also did the Rotel cheese dip.... see below for recipe:

Just remember to watch the intake of cheese.... too much and you may need a softener.... lol

  • 1 block (32 Oz. Block) fat free Velveeta Cheese
  • 1 package (8 Oz. Package) fat free Cream Cheese
  • 1 can (10 Oz. Can) Rotel
  • 1 can (10.75 Oz. Can) no sodium Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 pound Extra lean Ground Beef OR turkey (or A Combination Of Both)
  • Brown ground beef or turkey (or both) in a pan over medium heat and set aside. Cut up the Velveeta and cream cheese into cubes and place into a crock pot. Pour in the Rotel and the cream of mushroom Soup and stir ingredients together. Place the crock pot on low setting for an hour, letting the ingredients meld. After about 30 minutes, add the browned meat and continue to let cook, stirring as needed.

Have you tried the Unjury cheese sauce? I saw it online yesterday and it made me curious!

No, actually I haven't. I will check it out though. Thanks.

Thanks Mis for you response. I know I can always count on you. Our family does too. I just thought we were crazy to have three to four different kinds of cheese. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone.

I also keep a supply of chunk cheese in my fridge. I prefer extra sharp cheddar and usually cut it into 1/8 oz cubes. Whenever I feel a bit hungry before a meal 1-3 of those chunks usually hit the spot and tide me over much better than any "100 calorie pack" ever does.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
