Does anyone know when it's acceptable to eat cheese, if at all? I'm 10 days post op.. Just curious, because I'm making stuffed chicken for my family for dinner tonight, and I'm on puréed foods.. & Cheese has protein.. Just rambling lol

I didn't get cheese back til I was over a month out. Something about it can melt and gum up the healing stomach pouch/intestines, so you need to wait til it's healed. Literally at 6 months out, I eat cheese every day. It's my best friend when it comes to meals.

I'm in the pureed stage and I put some cheese on my refried Beans and melt it before eating.

I did too! Even the tiniest bit just makes a huge difference! I used a pinch of Parmesan

Has anyone tried Nutritional Yeast in place of cheese? I use it on steamed vegetables yummy, healthy and adds a lot of flavor.

It's not like yeast you use in bread.< /p>

Never heard of it. Does it have any Protein? I'd prefer to add a powdered Protein to other foods.

It has a ton of protein! Google it- it is fortified with B12, too

So the nutritional yeast tastes like cheese? I guess it would be okay on Soups and some dishes, but not everything.

Where do you get the nutritional cheese?

It's in more high end grocery places. Google it, and it might bring up where you can find it.

      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.
