Anyone able to eat cheese



Recommended Posts

Yep. I eat a little FF cheddar on my scrambled eggs in the morning. Yummy.

I agree w/Trystelle that the mozzarella (and provolone for me) did kinda bind up as I chewed them. So, I just avoid them.

Hi all! I've been afraid of cheese too! I think it is because of it's thickness. I will try some extra sharp over the weekend.

Is it just the harder cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella that you all can eat or can you eat the softer, stickier type cheeses like american and velveeta also....in very small amounts of course? I am on mushies now and I just want to have a slice of cheese so bad....

Hi Mandi78....I ran out of mozzarella cheese on yesterday and tried American. Have not had a problem...just remember to chew,chew,chew atleast 30 times before swallowing. And for starters swallow a little portion at a time and wait a few seconds before you eat more. I'm on the mushy stage also.

Let me know how it goes............

Knock on wood, I've had no trouble with cheese. I rely on it often as a source of Protein.

I am the same way, I have been so tight in the past I thought I could eat nohting, but I was always able to eat my cheese! :D

Which is good considering that I just can't live without it! :grouphug:

Oh my gosh, I got some of those laughing cow reduced fat cheese wedges (french onion flavored) and tried one yesterday and it was soooo good. Very creamy and satisfying.

Mandi78 has it right. The Laughing Cow light soft swiss cheese wedges are tops. They're available at Walmart in the deli section, and come in garlic and herb, french onion, and original swiss. Be sure to get the light type. One wedge is lower in calories and Protein than regular cheese. The low fat string cheese works well if you chew it up real good. It is a little higher in calories and protein. I am on mushies and do both with no problems. You may also want to grind up a wedge or two of the LC in your "main course mushie" meal. The garlic and herb or french onion work especially well and add a little more flavor to whatever.
