Dub 9,922 Posted September 7, 2016 @@Dub I thought I was the only one who did cheese and hot sauce!!! I dip Mine in Sriracha. Amazing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sriracha is a righteous condiment if ever there was one. I have fond memories of my first month post op.....somewhere around the 3 week point I was making some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup.....and added a squirt of sriracha in there....and bamsucka ! It was a game changer. When it comes to Swiss cheese, though.....I dip it in either Tobasco brand Original or their Garlic version. Both are among my favorite hot sauces. Well i eat 1/4 of a cup at each meal 4 times a day and most contain cheese refried Beans and cheese chicken and cheese turkeymeatball stuffed with cheese eggs and cheese a cheese stick for snack i do count calories but figured it was enough for me to really worry just want to get everyones take on it and i cosume between 60-70 grams of Protein and excersize 4-5 days a week but i have found myself stalled every 2 weeks since surgery i stall for 2 weeks so was wondering could the cheese be it Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Horreychit.........a cup of cheese a day would lock my system up tighter'n Fort freakin Knox. I'd never be able to have a BM. Damn......just damn. I love the hell outa some cheese. I almost can't control myself with some proper swiss dipped in hot sauce (yes....I'm freaky that way).......but I have to slow my roll......cheese and nuts are on my "limited amounts" list. In fact.....when I think about it.....damn near everything is on my "limited amounts" list......except for Water, coffee, air and exercise. Lol i dont eat a cup of cheese i eat 1/4 size meals 4 times a day with cheese topped on at least 2 of them but as far as bm thats probably why im the way i am i also have to add Fiber to each of my meals and take collace eveyday per my doctor Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App I'm such an idiot......as you may have suspected already.....now it's confirmed. I misread your post. My apologies. Good job being proactive with fiber and the colace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tabasco (any flavor) on eggs is AhMazing! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Spice is key for me! Siracha on eggs- heaven. Tabasco or Louisina Hot Sauce mixed into some home made queso a must. As for other spices- it's what keeps things fresh and interesting. There are only SO MANY ways to cook a chicken breast or thigh, eat veggies- though I don't mind them plain with some S and P. New obsession? Oven roasted asparagus - drizzle with olive oil, a good sea salt (pink or Himalayan) and fresh cracked pepper. Gets a little char on them, and then some fresh shaved Parmagiano-Reggiano over it and I'm in ecstasy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelle Bean 51 Posted September 8, 2016 I buy the weight watchers string cheese and usually have one or two during the week if I feel hungry around 3pm or so. Its just a healthier option than other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beck90 189 Posted September 8, 2016 I'm a cheese freak lol. It's definitely on my top five favorite list of foods. I eat it every day. I don't eat the low fat ones but I do watch how much I eat of it carefully. Love Baby Bel. I still get a whole lot of my daily Protein from dairy sources. Luckily, I did before surgery too so I think my body is used to it. I had Constipation at the beginning but now I'm over it All you people who love the hot stuff just aren't normal (I just can't tolerate spice and never could, I'm secretly jealous) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted September 9, 2016 Could cheese slow or possibly stall weight loss i eat cheese on everything and love it its low fat but still anyone have to give up cheese? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Usually no, but I guess anything is possible if you eat a lot of one thing. I love cheese and eat it frequently. I tend to savor it by itself though or else in salads. Combine it with carbs and then it's not the cheese that's the problem but the carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
