Creamy cheese??



Recommended Posts

I try to eat Proteins when hungry, i tend to snack on feta cheese a small piece, or the triangle portion of the laughing cow packeted cheese ---it comes in triangle portions and is real creamy. Is the laughing cow cheese okay? calorie wise it is 42 cals per portion?

I also tend to eat for Protein 30 to 40 gram portions of nuts - is this okay?

From calorie standpoint those are decent choices. It's amazing how few almonds it takes to satisfy.

And while I used to favor such cheese as Brie at a giga-calorie per serving, my current favorite is the hard dry rind of parmesan from low fat sources.

It provides chewing and a decent bulkiness to satisfy the pouch and sensations of a pleasant 'fullness' without too many unnecessary calories.

There are a jillion cheeses out there, and I intend to find some new favorites.

A local producer makes absolutely wonderful goat cheese in a half-dozen varieties. She is a licensed dairy goat facility. While I love the flavor, every time I try it I get bowel distress for days.

I like feta-stuffed greek olives for a little snack. Not bad on calories either! I prefer the jalapeno-stuff ones though, and chopped up in tuna is wonderful.

Mmmm, cheese. :(

Will ask my store if they can get the light laghing cow cheese in, and forgot about parmesan -- use to always eat that, next time go to store will get a piece as is nice and strong tasty and can chew and chew on it.

Laughing Cow Light also comes in Garlic & Herb and French Onion.

35 calories per wedge. Yummy!!

I eat it almost daily .... on a few crackers or an apple.

      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.
