I see a lot of posts about protein in cottage cheese, so I bought some yesterday. I've always had in in a dessert, so I thought I'd try it plain, nastiest stuff I've ever tasted. How can you guys eat that stuff? What are you putting in it to make it taste good? Fruit? I'm type 2, so I limit my fruit to one banana in my morning shake.

Peaches or pineapple. I always buy them with juice instead of syrup and put a little bit of the juice on it too.

I like salad dressing -- just about any kind -- stirred in to cottage cheese to make it taste more interesting.

I like to heat up a little bit of pizza sauce and put it in mine. But I LOVE cottage cheese...plain, with fruit, in Italian dishes. I'm almost at my year mark though and I have hit goal and am maintaining. I'm not sure what stage you're at or if you should have pizza sauce or not. Just another idea.

I really like it with Apple Butter!

diced avocado ,salt ,pepper ..... Scooped up with reduced fat triscuits ........ Hey now, good fats,protein,fiber from whole grain. There is some debate at our house if this constitutes a meal? It's enough for me !

Not meaning to laugh at you concerning "nastiest stuff I've ever tasted" but i am laughing.......i luv CC - so what you said is funny to me.

course all our taste buds are different - pre or post op - i just love CC and it does have protein

i buy the "cottage cheese w/pineapple" delicious - or regular CC and i stir SF jam/jelly, really good

question about your diabetes..............

didn't your surgeon/dr/NUT comment that you might not have to continue with your meds/insulin after you've lost some weight?

many diabetics improve their status after weight loss - talk to your doctor

helping diabetes is one terrific "side effect" of the sleeve

I was on meds/insulin for 20 years - no more

sorry about the crack about plain cottage cheese and you

still friends

continued good luck

This sounds really good!! Great idea..

I like it stirred into a scrambled egg. Just like mozerella.... almost. I also heat it up on some refried Beans. yummy!! Just think of all the Protein in that!!!

LOVE cottage cheese. Make sure you get a good kind. They do taste different! I do not like the fat free. I eat the 2% kemps and it is awesome!

I also love cottage cheese with diced avocado and salt. Or diced tomatoes and salt. Yum!

I agree totally about different brands having a different taste. I also eat just the lowfat (2%) rather than fat free. I actually prefer store brands most of the time. I shop at Kroger & Meijer most so I buy their brands and like them both a lot.

My surgeon took me off of my meds the day after surgery, and told me that I would be diet controlled from here on out. I'm still not normal, but nowhere near where I was pre-op. I'm going to try it with the sf jelly. That sounds interesting. Thanks!

I'm a Kroger shopper too. I like a lot of their brands, especially the CarbMaster yogurts.

I'm eating plain low fat CC as I write this. I'm loving it! I'm in week 3 PO and tired of sweet stuff. The last thing I want is to sweeten my CC. Try some black pepper or salsa if you're far enough out.

I also love salsa with mine..but I also Love cinnamon and stevia sprinkled on top!

I like large curd cottage cheese more than I like small curd cottage cheese also.
