Cheese Question



Recommended Posts

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

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.

      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.

        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.

      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!!
