I thought I was the only one who did cheese and hot sauce!!! I dip

Mine in Sriracha. Amazing.

Sriracha is a righteous condiment if ever there was one. I have fond memories of my first month post op.....somewhere around the 3 week point I was making some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup.....and added a squirt of sriracha in there....and bamsucka ! It was a game changer.

When it comes to Swiss cheese, though.....I dip it in either Tobasco brand Original or their Garlic version. Both are among my favorite hot sauces.

Well i eat 1/4 of a cup at each meal 4 times a day and most contain cheese refried Beans and cheese chicken and cheese turkeymeatball stuffed with cheese eggs and cheese a cheese stick for snack i do count calories but figured it was enough for me to really worry just want to get everyones take on it and i cosume between 60-70 grams of Protein and excersize 4-5 days a week but i have found myself stalled every 2 weeks since surgery i stall for 2 weeks so was wondering could the cheese be it

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.

Lol i dont eat a cup of cheese i eat 1/4 size meals 4 times a day with cheese topped on at least 2 of them but as far as bm thats probably why im the way i am i also have to add Fiber to each of my meals and take collace eveyday per my doctor

I'm such an idiot......as you may have suspected already.....now it's confirmed. :D

I misread your post.

My apologies.

Good job being proactive with fiber and the colace.

I weigh my cheese, and full fat as well.

@@Dub I will have to remember that when I'm post op. I hear a lot of people can't tolerate spice after surgery... Which would be devastating to me! Tabasco (any flavor) on eggs is AhMazing!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Spice is key for me! Siracha on eggs- heaven. Tabasco or Louisina Hot Sauce mixed into some home made queso a must.

As for other spices- it's what keeps things fresh and interesting. There are only SO MANY ways to cook a chicken breast or thigh, eat veggies- though I don't mind them plain with some S and P.

New obsession? Oven roasted asparagus - drizzle with olive oil, a good sea salt (pink or Himalayan) and fresh cracked pepper. Gets a little char on them, and then some fresh shaved Parmagiano-Reggiano over it and I'm in ecstasy.

This is what I made last night - with lots of garlic (didn't put cheese on it but YUM). I ate so much that I think my pee will smell for days! :-)

Garlic isn't liking me lately... Huge downer for an Italian gal from Chicago. Hoping it is a fleeting thing

@@LisaMergs * If you're melting a ton of velveta cheese PRODUCT, well now, that's not really cheese, I would say.* This made me laugh...I have a friend who ADORES Velveeta and that 'cheese' in a spray can. I call it 'cheze' and I've been able to annoy her for 15 years by saying it. It's the little things, sometimes!

I buy the weight watchers string cheese and usually have one or two during the week if I feel hungry around 3pm or so. Its just a healthier option than other things.

I'm a cheese freak lol. It's definitely on my top five favorite list of foods. I eat it every day. I don't eat the low fat ones but I do watch how much I eat of it carefully. Love Baby Bel. I still get a whole lot of my daily Protein from dairy sources. Luckily, I did before surgery too so I think my body is used to it. I had Constipation at the beginning but now I'm over it :)

All you people who love the hot stuff just aren't normal ;) (I just can't tolerate spice and never could, I'm secretly jealous)

Could cheese slow or possibly stall weight loss i eat cheese on everything and love it its low fat but still anyone have to give up cheese?

Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Usually no, but I guess anything is possible if you eat a lot of one thing. I love cheese and eat it frequently. I tend to savor it by itself though or else in salads. Combine it with carbs and then it's not the cheese that's the problem but the carbs.

      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!
