Mmm, mozzarella sticks!!! Unfortunately, I can eat everything & anything, so I have to be very careful. So, to answer your question, yes, I have had one or two in the last 3 mos but no more than that.

cheese sticks are one of the standard post-op staples. As with anything, however, there are always some who have a problem with one food or another. The general rule on such things is to test new foods one at a time for tolerance - it if sets well, then great, and enjoy; if it doesn't then try it again in a couple of weeks (or months).

Are we talking about the OH-SO-YUMMY battered, deep-fried mozzarella sticks?? Not sleeved yet, but I would think they may cause a problem because of the grease. The non-battered, cold cheese sticks on the other hand..I've seen lots of folks say they eat them with no problems. Just have to experiment I guess, go slow and chew, chew, chew! Personally, I'd be afraid to try because I can't imagine myself eating the fried, gooey ones SLOW!! LOL Good luck!

I eat one or two a day. I only count carbs and they are zero carbs.

That's on my 2nd stage of my post op diet ... I'm only 16 days post op and I had 1 mozzarella stick yesterday for the first time...

I left it out at room temperature for a while so it could get soft and I just nibbled on it and I didn't have a problem with that at all :)

I was referring to the fried and breaded ones, but the same thing happens when I eat fresh cheese curds. I'm from WI, not sure if you can get those everywhere :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
