                                Following bariatric surgery, a patient's diet is carefully controlled and centered on high-protein, low-fat foods to promote healing and long-term success. This raises a common question for many: **Is cheese bariatric friendly?** While cheese is a good source of protein, its suitability largely depends on the type, portion size, and the patient's individual tolerance and post-operative phase.
