Are there any bandsters out there that can't live without cheese? I have always eaten and loved cheese; however, since being banded, it's like I can't live without it. I have to have a cheese stick, or slice or shredded cheese every single day. Can anyone else relate?

I have always loved cheese and still do! I buy the big bag of mini baby bell light cheeses at my local costco (wholesale club) and have one or two daily for only 50 calories each. Good Protein too so ENJOY =)

I eat lots of cheese! Honestly, I'd prefer good cheese to chocolate any day. At any given time, we have four or five different kinds in the fridge.

I eat cheese daily. It's a great snack because it's a source of Protein. I'm just careful to count the calories in my daily allowance.

I LOVE cheese! I always have a huge supply on hand. I wrap thinly sliced turkey around a stick of Weight Watcher's string cheese and it is delicious! I'm going to look and see if I can find any reviews on the Unjury cheese sauce.

my first year of banding i mostly lived on cheese. Laughing Cow and Crunchmaster multi grain crackers.... I also did the Rotel cheese dip.... see below for recipe:

Just remember to watch the intake of cheese.... too much and you may need a softener.... lol

  • 1 block (32 Oz. Block) fat free Velveeta Cheese
  • 1 package (8 Oz. Package) fat free Cream Cheese
  • 1 can (10 Oz. Can) Rotel
  • 1 can (10.75 Oz. Can) no sodium Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 pound Extra lean Ground Beef OR turkey (or A Combination Of Both)
  • Brown ground beef or turkey (or both) in a pan over medium heat and set aside. Cut up the Velveeta and cream cheese into cubes and place into a crock pot. Pour in the Rotel and the cream of mushroom Soup and stir ingredients together. Place the crock pot on low setting for an hour, letting the ingredients meld. After about 30 minutes, add the browned meat and continue to let cook, stirring as needed.

Have you tried the Unjury cheese sauce? I saw it online yesterday and it made me curious!

No, actually I haven't. I will check it out though. Thanks.

Thanks Mis for you response. I know I can always count on you. Our family does too. I just thought we were crazy to have three to four different kinds of cheese. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone.

I also keep a supply of chunk cheese in my fridge. I prefer extra sharp cheddar and usually cut it into 1/8 oz cubes. Whenever I feel a bit hungry before a meal 1-3 of those chunks usually hit the spot and tide me over much better than any "100 calorie pack" ever does.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
