Mmm, mozzarella sticks!!! Unfortunately, I can eat everything & anything, so I have to be very careful. So, to answer your question, yes, I have had one or two in the last 3 mos but no more than that.

cheese sticks are one of the standard post-op staples. As with anything, however, there are always some who have a problem with one food or another. The general rule on such things is to test new foods one at a time for tolerance - it if sets well, then great, and enjoy; if it doesn't then try it again in a couple of weeks (or months).

Are we talking about the OH-SO-YUMMY battered, deep-fried mozzarella sticks?? Not sleeved yet, but I would think they may cause a problem because of the grease. The non-battered, cold cheese sticks on the other hand..I've seen lots of folks say they eat them with no problems. Just have to experiment I guess, go slow and chew, chew, chew! Personally, I'd be afraid to try because I can't imagine myself eating the fried, gooey ones SLOW!! LOL Good luck!

I eat one or two a day. I only count carbs and they are zero carbs.

That's on my 2nd stage of my post op diet ... I'm only 16 days post op and I had 1 mozzarella stick yesterday for the first time...

I left it out at room temperature for a while so it could get soft and I just nibbled on it and I didn't have a problem with that at all :)

I was referring to the fried and breaded ones, but the same thing happens when I eat fresh cheese curds. I'm from WI, not sure if you can get those everywhere :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
