Cottage Cheese And ?



Recommended Posts

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.< /p>

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.

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 !

Protein in cottage cheese - tried it plain, nastiest stuff I've ever tasted. I'm type 2, so I limit my fruit

:D 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

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 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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
