Congrats on your surgery.Im almost 5 months out.To answer your question you can eat cottage cheese if your new stomach can tolerate it.Mine didn't at first.You will notice that u can consume soft liquid type of foods BUT when u get to the solid.foods that's when u will realize to have a sleeve
Hang in there each day that's goes by you will feel better.I was sleeved on sept 10th.the second day I was miserable.The third day I was sore, but each day that goes by trust me you will fill better.
Oh yeah liquids go down much easier. When I was 5 days out It seemed like I could drink and eat a bowl of cream of wheat or a full bowl of soup.With that said the challenge will be when you are at stage 3 soft foods then you will be fully aware of your sleeve.When I was at stage 3 I said good now I can eat soft foods,well I started with 1 egg,1 sausage and some cottage cheese well I barely got that 1 egg down and that was it.I was completely full.
Sorry about the previous reply.I was sleeved on Monday.I was getting crampy feeling too after sipping liquids I'm at stage 2 now with protein shakes sugar free jello chicken broth.the crampy feeling gets. Better with each day
