pre op I HATED cottage cheese, like literally it made me GAG. I'm a couple weeks post op and I can't get enough of it, I love it all of a sudden! even plain! of course I can only eat a little bit at a time but it's SO yummy LOL also I dream about avocados now LOL I always heard people say their tastes change post op but I didn't believe it.. now I do HA!

gotta go.. time to run out to the store to buy some more cottage cheese

I went thru the same thing. Love it after surgery.

That's so funny I loved both of those things afterwards!!

Growing up my parents had cottage cheese on the table every night. I never touched the stuff and then in my early to mid-thirties I just started craving it. I don't drink a lot of milk so I often wondered if my body was just craving calcium and it came out as a craving for cottage cheese.

I love it with avocados, or tomatoes, and am looking forward to it after I get to that stage in my post op diet!

I was craving both too. I'm 13 days out from surgery. The cottage cheese is great. I was wondering if it was too early to try avocados.

I'm one month out and eat both! They are Staples for me! I thin my avacado with lime juice as I can't have Anything thicker than tomato paste for 2 more weeks. The sweet stuff is not my favorite right now.

I am cleared for "pureed" foods and I figured that ripe avocados are so easily mushed up when chewed that I tried them and tolerated them perfectly. Actually they feel great going down Elvira (my sleeve). I also noticed that I hit a stall after about 12 days of having only liquids post op.. then the day I added pureed consistency foods (including mushed up cottage cheese and avocados and Beans & cheese mushed up) I started dropping the weight again. I think my body needed a little bump up in calories. I am still only getting 500-650 calories a day and I'm full! LOL

yeah I'm so over the sweet stuff too!!! LOL I made the mistake of having a little bit of refried Beans with some avocado and sour cream all mashed in it last night.. only problem was that the beans were too thick and it felt 'stuck' in my chest for like 30 minutes. Ugh. Won't do that again!!! I'm lucky that's all it did. I like what you said about consistency of tomato paste because that's about all I can tolerate right now as far as how thick my food is, any thicker and it doesn't go down comfortably. How are you doing with not drinking during meals? my mouth gets SO dry.

Don't drink w meals-- I'm still erroring on the too thin/wet food so I'm not noticing the dry. I add more moisture to make thinner puree if need be.
