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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
