Well last week I went in for my yearly exam with my gyno and she said "how old are you?" I said "31" she said "time to start taking calcium suppliments!" I said "What??? I'm getting OLD!!!!" hahaha. So I think I'll just eat a lot of cheese and skip the old people suppliments for now;)

Cheese is a decent source of protein - especially when you cannot get anything else down! It became my saving grace when other things would not work. So, don't cut it out completely...as everyone else said, enjoy in moderation!

Cheers!

Last night I had a slice of turkey on the side with pepperjack, shredded sharp cheddar (oh yeah i went back to the store yesterday without dd and got it) and swiss melted on the plate....ooooooooo sooooo goooood.

Old Josette just watch the calories and be sure you are getting the needed amout of calcium.

Did I say I love cheese. I love it on any kind of meat, chicken, beef, turkey but I have not tried it on ice cream Jimboss.

ItsGottaGo if you live near me we can get together and have some cheese.

Actually, my favorite dinner is a spinach and feta omelette!!! YUMMO!!!:hungry:

How can anyone NOT like cheese?

I was doing that too, until I realized I couldn't stop at one, two, three, you get the picture. I think my restriction is definitely gone! I am waiting for the dr.'s office to call me back to make an appointment for another fill.

I like cheese more now than before surgery, especially those little pop in your mouth squares. I've convinced myself it's just protein, LOL.

Like I need help in clogging my system.

re: "melted cheddar on my ice cream! Geez..................."

....Geez indeed.....how did I miss out on THAT one???

Maybe I should look into a franchise, er, 'francheese'.....on some little 'cheese~mobiles' that run around the neighborhoods with cheese-on-a-stick, chocolate-dipped cheese, cotton cheese-whiz, frozen cheese sticks....umm, am I missing anything? Double-scoop cheese balls in a waffle cheese-cone....cheese-split with extra fudge and whipped cheese topping....

Who's in on the ground floor here? Buy your territory NOW before the good ones are gone!!!

Oh man I love cheese. Loved it since I was a kid. Have it durn near every day. Nummyness!

And I have to say, the overall total pound consumption has reduced...and so has the poundage on the scale.

There's no reason not to eat cheese! Heck, cheese sticks are my "perfect portable bandster food" of choice! I almost always have a cheese stick somewhere near by when the snackies get a hold of me!!!

I already had the cheese in my purse. I had swiss and pepper jack over my lettuce and ham with a bit of salsa on top for lunch today.

I love cheese and salsa.

Cheese is one thing I refuse to give up...I gave up chocolate (it's been a whole week now!) but cheese has enough redeeming qualities that I can tell myself it's good for me. I'm eating a lot less than I used to, so I'm counting that as progress. I love refired beans, salsa, and sharp cheddar for dinner!

I'm a cheese freak too! I think I must be part mouse or something. Any way, I eat cheese. I've given up sweets but I gotta have some cheese.

Now I get the low-fat versions. Fat free cheese is disqusting to me so forget that, but most low fat versions taste great. Plus cheese does have a pretty good protein value so I go ahead and have some.
