I just have a quick question on cheese. I am in the pureed stage (2 weeks out) and my doc said I can now have eggs and lowfat cheese. Does anyone know what the maximum fat content should be? I bought Kraft reduced fat sharp cheddar made with 2% milk (6 gm fat) but I barely got through 1/2 of my scrambled egg and cheese mixture before I started feeling uncomfortable. Thank you.

Well being two weeks out it is understandable that you can not eat an entire egg. As far as cheese goes I don't really look at low fat/high fat/ no fat. I do consume laughing cow light(these are delicious), and a light Jarlsberg that I like but for all others cheddar, mozzarella I eat what I like. At 11 weeks I have lost 51 pounds!!

I buy the Kraft 2%, personally. The discomfort isn't likely the cheese, it's the egg & you being full. Half an egg with cheese is what I was eating 4 weeks out.

I think that counts as reduced fat cheese. But as far as eating goes - eggs are filling! At six+ months I can eat one egg or two egg whites with 1/2 ounce cheese with two bites of veggies. I would have been able to eat maybe a tablespoon of eggs at your stage - maybe less.

Oh this is kinda funny really. I didn't even think it could be I was full! haha I ate so little! It's a whole new world! Thanks you guys!!!

now i know why i can finish 1/4 of the egg only...

I'm 2 weeks out. 1/2 an egg is my limit.

My dietician told me for this stage to just use the skim motzerella cheese. I bought some shredded and also string cheese.

My nutritionist said cheeses with 5g of fat and less per serving are ideal. He also said that the reality is, especially while dining out, it's not always possible to find cheeses that are that low-fat, so memorize some- like mozzarella and Parmesan.
