string cheese & sushi



Recommended Posts

I each sushi fine. California rolls are 43 cal a piece :) 4-6 pieces fills me up. And as far as string cheese I like Sargento but the Babybel cheese has fewer calories and its fun to open :)

Are you talking calories as in dieting? Or what is tolerated by the band?

Weight Watchers string cheese has 50 calories. I have a hard time with sushi unless I remove the seaweed.

I like the flavor of Babybel light better than sting cheese, and yes I can eat sushi, but YMMV

That's what I like about you B-52, you're so thorough with each inquiry. I would have thought that as a band tolerance question but the fact that a calorie count on the sushi was mentioned it could have been a caloric diet inquiry. Personally speaking, I love sushi but cannot tolerate white rice related to the band.

Don't eat sushi, but had no trouble tolerating string cheese. Now, don't eat it due to lactose intolerance. But, as someone else said, Babybel is good so is Sargento. i don't do low-fat/no fat due to the higher sugar content.

cheese at room temperature tastes so much better that cold cheese, especially with sting cheese and babybel. You could also put it in the microwave for a few seconds.

Fat free, reduced fat, & low fat are foods that should never enter you body (in my humble opinion). Why? Full fat foods are less processed and have less industrially engineered ingredients/chemicals. If you're making smart choices and working with the band, I don't think you should worry about those products.

I just had Sashimi for dinner tonight and it went fine, it easier to chew, high Protein and you avoid the sticky rice. I did have sticky rice on the side, but after 8 pieces of Sashimi, I only ate about 3 tablespoons before I hit my limit. I have eaten Sushi with no problems, but the rice fills you up fast and can cause people problems pretty easily. Kroger has a colby and mozarella combo string cheese that is really good.

????? Question I'm going to be starting mushies and there is sum meal someone suggested as a lazana bowl its cottage cheese Pasta sauce mozzarella and parm is th as t safe any sugestions on any others r is this ok

I used to make something similar when I lost 40# with Atkins. I called it PIM, or, pizza in a mug... Except I used ricotta and not cottage. Mozzarella cheese can be real chewy.... I would wait till the "normal" phase.

I made lasagna cups as part of my post op using small ramekins.

1 cup low fat/fat free cottage cheese

1 cup low fat/fat free ricotta cheese

1 egg beaten

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Mix it all together and divide into sprayed ramekins. It should make about 8 of them. Top with a little bit of your favorite marinara and bake at 350 for about 30 mins.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
