Babybell cheese? Think i moved too fast

[fletcherette 203]

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 was eating cottage cheese at 2 weeks of that helps any . Listen to ur body if u tolerate it than

I think it is fine . I are certain things that sent me running for the toilet. U will know if ur Tummy is not ready for it . Good luck . Just remember try one thing at a time so u know what it was that caused the toilet time lol

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.

Whew! Ok thanks for the replies. I'm going to email my dr to be double sure, but I figure if its not bothering me then it should be alright

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!
