Greek yogurt tastes a bit like sour cream only less sour.

Greek yogurt tastes like vomit...unless you sweeten it. Stevia and sugar free vanilla Syrup works great. I tried so many times to like it and hated it until I learned this!

I love cottage cheese :) It has a very mild taste. I don't compare it to regular cheese though... its in its own class for me. I personally do not like it with fruit but I love it either straight or mixed with triscuit thin crisps... I haven't had surgery yet though so I'm not sure if the thin crisps are a good idea or not. But, I definitely think it is at least worth a try. At most grocery stores they sell cottage cheese in 4 packs for a couple of dollars. Just be careful to watch the expiration date, they don't last very long.

As for greek yogurt I have never had the plain kind and I don't mind it. It is not my favorite though because I always get a bad case of dry mouth after eating it. It is very creamy and smooth though, and many people like it a lot. I know the plain kind is often used in cooking. I used the vanilla kind in smoothies. Again, its worth a try though. You can buy single serve sizes just to try.

Is cottage cheese sweet, sour, tangy, ...... ??? Do I sound like a dummy?? Am I the only one who has never had it??blink.gif

It is very mild, i guess similar to mozzarella cheese. Without anything added in it is not sweet, sour or tangy. It is very neutral which is why some people like it paired with fruit and jellies or jams, while other people (me!) like it with salty stuff like crackers. Now, unlike cream cheese or yogurt it is not a smooth texture but I really like it that way. Just try it! If you don't like it then you know :)

Cottage cheese is like chunky cheese in a suspended liquid. The texture of it kills me. I can't eat it.

But I do enjoy the greek yogurt. I will second that it tastes like less sour, sour cream. And you can add tons of things to it to make it more tasty, like Torani syrups. Put it on southwestern omelets or try putting it in other recipes that require sour cream for less calories and more Protein.

Personally, I had never had Greek Yogurt before my surgery. I looked at the Protein when I was on the mushy part of my diet and said "I gotta try this." I love it now, especially with fruit. It's a regular part of my morning Breakfast.

By the way, Epicurious just a taste testing and I pretty much agree with their results.

Is there anyone who likes plain yogurt that can compare it to the plain greek yogurt? Do they taste the same? I like plain yogurt and can eat it ok, so I wonder if there is a taste difference between it and plain. Cottage cheese, I can tolerate, but it's a texture thing.

I see 16 carbs in my morning Trader Joe's Greek Style Non-Fat Yogurt with Blueberries. Most of that is added. I understand that Fage Classic Greek Yogurt has 6 carbs per 7 oz serving.

This is the only way to see...for yourself. Don't get turned off by your first spoonful. Try adding different flavors, heating and such. I love them both mixed with savory or sweet additions, the cottage cheese with spaghetti sauce and parmesan, heated is nice....or with fruit salad... the yogurt mixed with french onion Soup mix as a veggie dip or to top cooked veggies or meat.... a spoonful in an omelet, I like cottage cheese blended until smooth, wtih a little granola or fruit, you can add chopped cucumbers (seeded) into the yogurt with some mint for an indian salad... Both are such good sources of Protein and Calcium, give them a good try before giving up!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
