All I want to eat is cheese!

Since you love the Kay's have you tried these?

Not quite as good macros as Kay's, but totally taste normal, not like a Protein product. The Honey Mustard Flavor tastes like the Gardetto's pretzel flavoring to me.

That's a lot of cheese!!! I'm not really into cheese unless it's on something, but not just to sit and eat it. I said that I was going to try some different kinds. If you don't mind sharing, give me your top 3 favorites.

It is a lot of cheese . Some of it is due to hungry shopping

Laughing Cow Light Swiss Wedges paired with 34 Degrees Rosemary Crackers

Smoked Gouda (I buy the Trader Joe's version, it's good and cheap)

English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions from Trader Joe's (This is my true cheese love, but don't buy it unless I'm having guests over, it molds super quick)

Look at all that paraphernalia!!! lol, it's ok because I know one day someone will walk in on me while I profess my love to a family size tub of cashews in bed

Does anyone know if these crackers can be purchased in Canada at the grocery store?

[likehasjustbegun 21]

These are great suggestions! I am a little over 9 weeks out and the only the thing I pretty much eat are cheddar cheese sticks and greek yogurt! I'm definitely not getting enough Protein in but I just don't seem to like anything. I was told not to eat crackers or anything with flour. I asked because I feel like it'd be easier to eat tuna to get some additional protein if they were on crackers but was told no Are the Kay's crackers made with flour?

This looks like my place... lol

I have our cold cuts drawer in fridge dedicated entirely to cheese, and every grocery trip involves getting more cheese. [emoji41]

You all (and your little cheeses too) are going to The Hells.

A cheese craving means that your body is craving fat and Protein. Obviously you are preparing for mitosis.

I am 7 weeks post op and my appetite is back. Not as ravenous as I once was, so that is good, but I am hungry more often than every 3-4 hours and really, all I want to eat is cheese. I'm also craving Peanut Butter. Both are okay in small amounts but neither should be used for Protein. Hit me up with your ideas for meals at this stage that satisfied those savory/fatty/creamy cravings.

I am also 7 weeks post op and all I am able to tolerate is Sharp Cheddar cheese. Is your stomach able to tolerate anything else? I am having a hard time eating without getting sick. I have tried so many different things and the only thing my stomach tolerates is the cheese. I need help lol.

I’d be lost with out cheese/dairy as part of my Protein allotment. Granted I still have to be careful of the amount because I was lactose intolerant before and that didn’t change. I do have to watch that I’m not succumbing to head hungry because even at 4+ months out it’s still there. Less than the first few weeks but still a question I ask myself.

Seriously I had a convo with my Nut how anything highly processed wrecks havoc in my digestion system so I still eat regular cheese just way less of it, avoid sugar and it’s alternatives, etc. Part of this journey is giving you the space to figure out what works for your body. And yes that means sometimes telling your mind to stuff it and stop playing games.

You’re doing great!
