cheese is extremely calorie-dense. Are you weighing the cheese you eat and counting the calories, staying within a strict calorie range for the day? If not, yes, cheese can definitely slow or stall your weight loss. You could be adding multiple hundreds of calories to your daily intake.

I eat cheese' all day long. Full fat cheese. YUUUMMMMM... I do eat extremely low carb but I don't care about fat and calories too much. I spend a small fortune every month at Wegmans because their cheese' counter is to die for.

The richer the cheese', the better. I can't eat much, so I can afford it.

It didn't stall my weight loss at all!!

What @@LipstickLady said.

I'm the same. Exactly.

As for cheese types- the lighter in color the better it is for you. Skip the low fat crap. It you're adding shredded mozzarella to the top of your food, use the regular stuff. Fact is, you can't eat that much of anything (I hope??!), so a bit of cheese shouldn't be an issue. If you're melting a ton of velveta cheese PRODUCT, well now, that's not really cheese, I would say.

I don't eat cheese on a daily basis. As much as I love it. I will eat it when i entertain. I am concerned about its saturated fat content after watching shows like my 600lb life, Supersize vs Superskinny and Fat Doctor. So these days cheese is a treat.

Horreychit.........a cup of cheese a day would lock my system up tighter'n Fort freakin Knox.

I'd never be able to have a BM.

Damn......just damn.

I love the hell outa some cheese. I almost can't control myself with some proper swiss dipped in hot sauce (yes....I'm freaky that way).......but I have to slow my roll......cheese and nuts are on my "limited amounts" list.

In fact.....when I think about it.....damn near everything is on my "limited amounts" list......except for Water, coffee, air and exercise.

I have ate full fat cheese since I was cleared for any food. I also eat it at least daily. I lost my weight pretty fast (normal BMI by 8 months out). I am also eating cheese during maintenance with no issues. Carbs on the other hand can stall my weight loss... Now they have have stopped my loss (which is good since I don't want to loose to much more)

If I didn't eat cheese, (its one of the foods I actually enjoy) I would never eat enough calories.

Yeah I definitely agree with this. Cheese adds up in calories quickly and that could definitely stall weight.

Personally I couldn't live without it. I eat 2 baby-bel cheeses a day!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
