Cheddar Cheese Help



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
