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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
