Cheese

Is there such a thing as too much cheese? I'm sure there is and it probably isn't a good thing to be eating mainly one food. I fell in love with and seem to crave Laughing Cow and similar spreadable cheeses on top of Wheat Thins. It goes down easily for me and satisfies me. I typically eat about six crackers for breakfast. Some unsweetened apple sauce and cottage cheese for lunch. A Blue Bell round cheese disk or Quest bar for a snack and focus on some sort of protein for dinner. I feel like I am constantly eating. I am 7 weeks out, down 45 since pre-op (10 days before surgery) 35 since surgery. BMI of 39 before surgery, 35 now. Anyone else get stuck in a rut with food? Should I try to add more variety or continue to eat what I can? When I asked my surgeon he said he wants me to drink one or two protein shakes a day. I struggle with nausea and protein shakes, no matter the brand or flavor, turn my stomach.

I love cheese too but too much of anything isn't good "they" say. I love the laughing cow southwest ranch spreadable cheese wedge. Yum ! Can you have Peanut butter on crackers or maybe baby food...

Just for the sake of losing weight alone it's good to switch things up. It does sound like you need more Protein though and need to find some food sources you like if the protein shakes are making you ill. How about tuna or turkey with the cheese? I personally love feta cheese and have been adding some to my tuna. That gives me 21g of protein for just 2 oz of tuna and 1 oz of cheese.

Good luck on your journey!
