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.

      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!!
