I just wanted to chime in on the laughing cow cheese too....I used to love this stuff pre op...tastes good, low in cals...what more to love.....then I went to buy it post op and it has VERY LITTLE protein....I for one struggle every day with reaching my protein goal..so if you are like me it would be better to get the traditional cheese....I am sure it is good for others but for me I have to choose protein dense foods...just my 2 cents
but since I hijacked the thread I can post what my typical food log looks like...
Breakfast: Protein Shake made with 6 oz 1% milk (26 g)
Lunch: 1/2 turkey sandwich.....2 oz turkey, a little mayo, slice of real cheese (not kraft singles) and 1 slice healthy life bread (14g) Generally I will not eat but a couple bites of the bread
Snack - 1/2 pure protein bar (10 g)
Dinner: 2 oz meatloaf, Tbs Veggies, 1 tbs Mashed potatoes (18 g)
Lately I have been having 1/2 C - 1 C of milk at night.....(8g)
This totals 76 g of protein.....now this is my ideal day...usually I forget the snack -- but it gives you an idea of what I can do

That was it. I know that I need to drink more water. Still working on all the vitamins. Having some trouble getting them all in but going to try swallowing the ones I had before surgery. Dr seems to think that I can do it, do you all chew yours or are you brave and went back to swallowing them?
