One thing I cannot live without is cheese and I knew that before doing this surgery. Anyone do the light cream cheese light any cheese on top of things?

I do lots and lots and lots of cheese. I stick with full fat cheese, in fact I just had some Tilamook Cheddar as a snack. The only light cheese I use is cottage cheese, I eat 1 percent low fat cottage cheese.

When starting out try light string cheese and make sure you chew it very very well. In the beginning I could maybe eat a half stick.

Cheese is good for us in small amounts. Decent Protein.

I do some light cheeses.....mostly deli strike cheddar or Babybel. Otherwise I eat full fat. I find satiates better.

Since I rarely eat bread, I don't eat cream cheese except on rare occasion.

I'm a cheese lover too, and get a decent amount of my protein from light string cheese sticks from Trader Joe's, low fat or fat free cottage cheese, and mozzarella shredded cheese.

Well I am ten days out I been eating for the last three days because I am onnpuree stage one a day laughing cow cheese yumm!! I could put cream cheese on my mashed vegetable that's how much I love it

How many string cheeses do u do a day??

The only low-fat cheese I consume is Cottage Cheese and only because I just prefer the texture over full fat Cottage Cheese.

I have been eating cheese since post-op day 8. I started smearing cream cheese and Laughing Cow Cheese on thin slices of deli meat (turkey or chicken breast) and now I will smear it on half a WW English Muffin toasted really crispy. I also eat string cheese, most Tillamook cheese slices, shredded cheese on my scrambled eggs and Swiss cheese melted on roasted chicken breasts. I eat a lot of cheeses and have had no problems. But I also eat small amounts of complex carbs to ensure I get Fiber and energy from healthy carbs. A lot of people refuse ANY kinds of carbs but I my NUT, my surgeon and my own personal needs don't cut out complete food groups.

Ohhh so you eat deli turkey now are you allowed let's say buffalo chicken sliced or honey turkey? When were you allowed this deli meat??

i want to share an issue i had with shredded cheese. the additives they put into shredded cheese to keep it shredded( potato starch, corn starch anti caking, anti mold etc.) have given me a real run...to the bathroom! I can eat CHEESE, but these additives...ARG! "milk, salt,and enzymes", THAT is cheese. i thought i had food poisoning for two weeks.

I do plenty of cheese, mostly full fat bc it's lower carb without the additives. I do do the light laughing cow and light cream cheese, the rest full fat in moderation.

I love the Sargento ultra thin sliced sharp cheddar! It's so flavorful you just need a tiny bit. I put a half a slice in a slice of turkey with some cilantro or green onion, squirt some mustard on it---I love mustard and have like five different kinds I cycle through---and roll it up!

Also love Bleu cheese, goat cheese, Roquefort, Gorgonzola--all those big flavor ones you can use small amounts of and add for a BIG flavor!

Wow that sounds awesome Jess how far out are you?

Wow that sounds awesome Jess how far out are you?

I'm almost two years out almost a year at goal, but I've been doing cheese since about three weeks out!

Okay thanks very much great job!

I eat a Light Babybel nearly every day and 2% cottage cheese a couple times per week and do very well with both.

2 percent cottage cheese and weight watchers colby jack singles

Now the string cheese you don't blend or purée you just chew good at this stage I see a lot of people eating these

I eat the light baby bell, light laughing cow, 2% cheddar, and all of the light sargento slices. I am a cheese addict. I'm just thankful I didn't end up not being able to eat cheese after surgery. I eat cheese daily but as others have said its small quantities at a time and I haven't been having any issues. I'm almost a month out and I've lost 26 lbs since pre-op.
