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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
