Say Cheese and Bologna!



Recommended Posts

I have discovered the Deli counter at Kroger. Have found that some things work and some don't and thought I would share what I have figured out with my band, and hope others will post their experiences as well.

Things that work:

Havarti

Havarti with Dill

Havarti with Jalepeno

ButterKase

Munster

Boars Head Liverworst, Bologna

Thin sliced turkey/ham/beef

Brie (But don't like it)

Blue cheese

Things that don't work:

Chedder

Provalone (Worst Pain Ever)

"Fancy" Bologna with Pistachios (Don't exactly know why this didn't work.)

Want to try more things, but scared to do so, so if you have anything that works well let me know! I like strong flavors so bring it on!

I can eat anything that deli counter throws at me; but my favorites are salami, kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes and triple smoked leg ham.

I only seem to have trouble with cheese when its melted (ie, no way in the world would I try one of those fried mozerella cheese stick things lol), but can do stuff like mac n cheese in small portions, as long as it's creamy.

Okay, that last paragraph got totally off the deli topic lol - sorry.

I can do solid cheese, melt it and I am screwed. I will eat the toppings off of a cold slice of pizza, but if it's hot I'm in PB city. I can do just about any cheese, sharp chedder being my fave. I also love blue cheese. Naturally soft cheese (brie and cream cheese) are fine for me too. I don't eat pork so I'm limited with deli choices. I have a good dinner idea though. I take thin sliced turkey or beef and add it to a jar of turkey or beef gravy, heat through and serve with mashed potatos. That is a favorite with my family. You can also take thicker sliced turkey and roll some stuffing in it, cigar sized, top with gravy and bake for about 25 mins at 350. ~Mandy

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
