Syrian, you get used to it and you end up not missing whatever you used to eat. Ice cream was the hardest for me to give up. I used to make myself fleishig all day so I would not be tempted to eat Haagen-Dasz when I switched to CY. Now I don’t care to eat dairy ice cream anymore; the only time I do is Shavuos.
Unless something has changed, there is excellent CY cheese (mozzarella, string cheeze etc) under the JSOR. I used to go to the Syrian shops in Brooklyn just for that – it is hand made and natural.
