My Doctor has told me to eat more cheese. I am still on the puree stage. What type of cheese were you able to eat at this stage? Thanks.

Thank you :) I'm not a huge fan of cheese. I have no idea why he is pushing it. Thanks for your help.

I love cheese. cheese is my go to snack all the time. Protein, rich flavor, high fat, low carbs...it's the perfect food. An ounce or two goes a long way and will keep me satisfied for hours.

At this stage, you can really eat any cheese at room temp. My doctor didn't want me to eat string cheese until 6 months post op because she wasn't a fan of the stringy texture, but she did say that was just her personal feeling. Nothing real scientific about it, but I also have a slight stricture so that added to her concern.

Go to the cheese counter at Wegmans, Whole Foods or any other nicer market and tell them you are not a fan of cheese, but your doctor wants you to eat more. They can guide you to something delicious and will let you sample as many as you'd like for free.

What kinds of cheese flavors do you like? There are enough cheese lovers here that I'm sure we can give you a little guidance. :D

When I was on the puree stage I didn't have any solid cheese, only cottage cheese.

After progressing to regular foods though, I am a fan of Sargento's low fat Colby/Monterey Jack cheese sticks. They are made with 2% milk and have I think 60 calories, about the same as string cheese, with much better flavor. This is my ready snack for mid-afternoons, perhaps with a Protein shake or a small handful of almonds.

At your stage, I ate the Laughing Cow soft cheese. They come in several flavors and are a small triangle of a serving.

Those are my favorites too. There is just enough to keep me full for hours.

Low fat cottage cheese and low fat ricotta cheese. They told me about ricotta bake or noodless lasagna. Ricotta cheese with some Pasta. :)

Yes to the Ricotta bake! I love it! I used the recipe from eggface and split it into a bunch of small portions. It's been one of my favorites since surgery 4 weeks ago.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
