Anyone Heard Of... The Cottage Cheese Test?



Recommended Posts

I LOVE cottage cheese! Will definitely give it a try when im post op. My surgeon said he is making mine tight

Why is making your's tight. Did you make him mad? They should have a standardized size and all are suppose to be the same.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never really noticed a smell to tell you the truth! For me it is the consistency that is messed up but I still love it! :) It makes my husband gag when he watches me eat it so that is a little fun for me too! ha!ha!

Add some sugar' date=' or blueberries, or blackberries or just salt and peper and it is tolerable.... LOL[/quote']

Add some pudding or Jello to it.i like patashio pudding in mine.

Well I just read about this so I thought I'd try it. I am always worried I can eat too much. Well, I would say mine is average. I ate 6 oz in about 8 min and am stuffed! Like feel yucky cause I'm too stuffed. I know it's supposed to be 5 min due to emptying. So if 5.5 is the average, I'm happy I'm average :) But I can eat more than this depending on what it is. Probably because oatmeal (my daily Breakfast recommended by my NUT) is warm and thinner (than cottage cheese) and starts to empty. But I am just so relieved my sleeve is "normal" :)

If I didn't loathe cottage cheese, I would so try this. I am just so curious about what the functional volume of my sleeve is.

LOL! I was just thinking this....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
