I've been reading quite a bit of posts with cheese recipes. I want to start trying some soon.

Is it best to use fresh cheeses or the stuff you can buy in a container (mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta, etc.)?

I would eat any kind of cheese. but I really like the baby bels because they are the perfect size. Love um. I love all those other cheeses posted also at around 3 weeks I believe.

Well, as I'm sure you already know the fresh cheeses taste better. Are they available fresh in low fat varieties near you?

the baby bel's are awesome! I eat the light ones all the time, even the full fat ones. I eat alot of mozzerella cheese sticks as well as the ones you mentioned. Can I also mention a cheese you might not know about called Bocconcini (I hope I spelled it correctly) anyway it's fresh mozzerella shaped into little balls and kept in water. It has a mild flavour, is really really soft and easy to go down I might suggest this is you are afraid to try cheese first out

Great, now I gotta go to Wisconsin & get some cheese curds.

I love cheese curds!

I too love cheese curds!! You can also find them at Joe's Produce, or Whole Foods Market, if you guys have either of those near you!

I prefer fresh cheeses. I hate bagged cheese, like the pre-grated stuff from Kraft/Sargento/whatever. Who wants the extra cellulose. And there's nothing yummy about yellow cheese that is white and tasteless.

Babybel was the first cheese I tried post-op. Shortly after I added in Trader Joe's brie bites. Then the spreadable laughing cow kind. Now I mainly go after the cheeses I like the most, that have the highest protein. Gruyere is pretty good, and emmenthaler, Kerrygold makes a low fat Irish cheddar that's an excellent snacking cheese, etc. Of course I can't get enough real (imported, not the grocery store crap) feta.

I'm in Missouri and we have multiple types of cheese curds at any grocery store you go to. Plain, white cheese, yellow cheese, dill, peppered, etc. Are they a Wisconsin thing?

Yes, they are definitely a WIsconsin thing. I live in Missouri also, Springfield area, can't find anything near me that compares to the stuff in Wi.

cheese curds remind me of poutine......man I used to eat that but now if I go near it it's like a load of cement in my stomach...hard to believe the things you ate before the surgery....
