Babybell cheese? Think i moved too fast



Recommended Posts

I am 18 days (almost 3 weeks) post op and have been eating half a. Babybell cheese in a meal and have been tolerating it fine. I looked at my doctors diet schedule and it says I shouldn't have soft cheese until 4. Weeks post op. oops :(

My question is, has anyone been cleared to eat babybell cheese sooner? Since I'm fine eating it should i continue? Or wait like my drs diet says?

I am just about where you are 17 days post op. My doctor cleared me to eat anything 'soft and mushed up' when I went to see her on last Wednesday. I am sure you should clear your diet with your own doc though. I was having trouble getting all the Protein in with the shakes...I was so sick of them! I've felt better eating some 'real' food since I was cleared to do so. I've only been eating little tiny bites very, very slowly but for me it has been working! Good luck!

I agree that you should eat what you can tolerate. If the cheese has caused you no problems then go for it. Not suggesting you go against your Dr's plan but if you've come this far already there shouldn't be an issue.

I am putting 1/4 to 1/2 of a slice of american cheese on my Beans and melting it in... I totally didn't even notice that I shouldn't be doing cheese until next week until checking with my paperwork after reading this thread. D'oh.. and I've been trying so hard to folllow my Dr.'s instruction to the letter... looks like we're in the same boat!

      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.
