Low-fat cheese wasn't on my program list until week 3. I quit buying cheese, though. I still love the taste, too easy to eat too much.

String cheese and low fat cheese is on my mushy food options. String cheese has 7 grams of protein!!

Yes. I know I shouldn't have it. I'll grab a sugar free Popsicle. I am not on puréed until 9/7. I'm just wanting something different.

try a sugar free fudgesicle. or some Jello, or pudding. that helped me :)

When you do get around to trying string cheese, Weight Watchers low-fat string cheese is quite good. :)

Mini BabyBel Lights by Laughing Cow. They're in a mesh bag and are individually wrapped in wax. They are soft, only 50-cals but 8 gm of Protein. They are easier on me than the string cheese and taste better too.

I tried both of those, and they both taste good. Too good, so I quit buying it. I just can't control my cheese habit, I end up eating at least 2-3 per day, if not 4-6.

I totally understand, CO! The only cheese I've had since my surgery is Laughing Cow spreadable low-fat Swiss....in part because I don't trust my ability to manage the amount of other cheeses I'd eat. Cheese has long been a major love of mine.....and a major contributor of calories! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
