What's everyone's spin on cheese post op? I'm to the point where I can have it. Being a cheese lover, I think I can incorporate it in healthy meals as long as it is low fat and high Protein, but I want to know what everyone else thinks and how they've eaten cheese post op. I don't want to end up gaining weight post op. Thanks!

Found this at walmart of all places. Wensleydale with Cranberries

The only true Wensleydale cheese in the world comes from the milk drawn from cows that graze the sweet limestone pastures on farms in Upper Wensleydale, England. The cheese was first made there during the Norman invasion, when French monks from the Roquefort region were brought over to practice their cheese-making skills. The Wensleydale pastures give the cheese the unique, refreshing flavor for which it is renowned. The cheese is a fresh, young cheese taken at only three weeks old. It has a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor with a honeyed aftertaste. The superb texture of fresh Wensleydale is perfectly complemented by the addition of all natural cranberries of the finest quality. Wensleydale with Cranberries is an innovative blend of flavors and a superb visual experience. Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Suitable for vegetarians.Photo depicts whole 2.8 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by hand.

Just reading the description makes me drool

You're be free of fear if your goal is reasonable. Can you live with a goal "To lose weight?" I'll make a crazy-wild guess that you were obese for quite a while. Is there really an emergency now to lose rapidly? If you eat well, you will lose. Make it a joyful process -- eat cheese.

I actually haven't been, I hung around 150 for most of my life and then gained 100+ pounds in the last six years. I'm very fixated on getting back where I used to be and love cheese. That's why I wanted to make sure it was low in fat and high in protein! Lol

Cheese is an excellent snack...the single serve packages are easy for portion control...take small bites and savor the taste

If you are going to eat cheese make sure it's "real cheese" not processed cheese. Many cheeses from the deli are real cheese. Also low fat is helpful.

I love this whole thread!

Chhhheeeeeesssseeeeahhhhh! I love it. Havarti Gouda Feta Parma. Cheddar Asiago mozzarella Brie provolone Colby blue cheese... love it all. I do a snack of cheese, almond ( or nut of choice) and grapes. It makes me happy. I started soft cheeses when I was allowed soft foods. I see a cheese board at a holiday party and I am happy!

cheese is great and one of the only foods I can eat without being lol

I eat alllllll the cheese. High fat, full fat, hard, soft, creamy, blue, white, yellow, rich, delicious cheese.

I don't worry about calories or fat, I track Protein and carbs only. Cheese is a definite green light for me. The more fat-filled and flavorful, the less I "need" to eat and the longer it keeps me satisfied.

CHEEEEESE!

I love this whole thread!

Hayley, dahlink, this is kismet -- we both like string cheese!

I love cheese, and probably eat it daily.

I adore cheese! I buy tiny packages of very expensive cheeses and savor them. And I. Do. Not. Share. Cheese!

The only bad thing I'll say about it, is be careful how much you eat. And make sure you drink plenty of Water. It can block you up, I learnt the hard way #shitabrick
