Why cheese?

LipstickLady,

I need to quit eating so much of it. I love cheese! Its the best! But I just eat too much of it. I need to start replacing it with something different. I have laughing cow with an egg just about every morning, then a cheese stick, then shredded cheese on my tuna or chicken, then a slice with dinner. That's about 250 calories worth of cheese most days! Kinda of high when I'm averaging 850 to 900 a day ??

@AngryViking: Buy the Mini-moos (the little individual containers that they use in restaurants). Each one is only 10 calories. I'm with you, coffee without cream is a non-starter for me. But using the individual servings keeps me from going overboard. I allow myself two mini-moos per day, most days. (Sometimes I have a third. Sssh!)

Oh..and I shall never give up cheese. As I move further into maintenance I migrate toward small quantities of STRONG cheese. I notice I do that more and more..bring on flavor, fat - but in modest quantity.

I went out tonight and amazingly only "tasted" the most delicious nachos ever made. It makes me feel like a normal human that I didn't need to wolf them.

I'm with @@CowgirlJane re the deliciousness of strong cheeses and their ability to keep me from going overboard on cheese. And yes, I could go way overboard on cheese. Everybody has their slippery slopes, and cheese is only one of mine.

Last night, for instance, I had 2.5 ounces of top sirloin with an ounce of Stilton blue cheese melted ever so slightly on top of the steak. Wow!

@@roundisashape -- JIF!! So many chemicals but SO GOOD! Honestly, it is the best tasting Peanut Butter out there! lol. I try to switch to real natural Peanut Butter but it just isn't the same. I also need to lay off the peanut butter. I have gotten into the habit of having peanut butter on multigrain crackers with my meals. I HAVE to stop! And I never used to be a peanut butter fanatic but now I can't stop!

@@esskay77

Have you tried the JIF natural peanut butter with honey? It's not "pure" but it's better content than regular JIF and it tastes good. Maybe that will help you wean off the regular stuff.

I was I could quit pretzels. Those are my weakness. Couldn't stand them before surgery. My favorite are the Pretzel crisps in everything flavor. Yummy!! Also chocolate is quite tasty; but I can easily eat it in moderation now.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
