Saw the doc today for my 2 week checkup and got a new diet :) yay. so........how am I supposed to chew cottage cheese 25 times? I feel like I am moving it all around in my mouth and chewing and it seems 10-15 times is about all I can do.... Is it that big of a deal?

I've tried to chew cottage cheese 25-30 times and it just ain't happening! I don't think it's a problem though because mush is mush!!! Before this surgery I couldn't stand cottage cheese...then I found out it had 11 grams of Protein and it started tasting a lot better to me!

LOL! I loved cottage cheese before surgery :) Just finished my 1/4 cup after 35 min....like a good girl and I have to say it tasted sooooo good after all those sweet Protein drinks...although my mouth now tastes like sour milk :( yuck

I've moved on from cottage cheese, but I would add a bit of Water to it to make it more liquid, then sort of mash it around a bit. I also added unflavored Protein Powder, so the water was really necessary to keep it from being a wallpaper-paste consistency. :)

Yeah I didn't give it any extra thought. That chew thing is to make you slow down and chew your food to make it easier to digest because as someone put it your stomach does not have teeth!

At least you get to eat it! I LOVED Cottage cheese pre surgery and that is the one and only thing I can not eat post because I just don't like the taste of it anymore. So freaking strange....

I think it all depends how dense the food you eat is.. For example chicken or beef would take much more chews than cottage cheese..cause cottage cheese is less dense. As long as u chewed the food well enough to have practically nothing else to chew on..so don't worry about the number of chews too much..

I was a very excited girl to be told I could eat anything today! I have been on liquids for 2 weeks (since surgery on 9-10)

What are some great Protein Shakes that I can try before my surgery and adding ice is alright? I like them cold (did the Herbalife thing awhile back). My NUT gave me a couple samples of Unjury?

Any suggestions on what to try is GREATLY appreciated.

Oh man, this is not encouraging. I'm still pre-op and I love cottage cheese. I eat it with lite canned peaches (in fruit juice, not heavy syrup), and I was hoping to just pulse those peaches in the blender to bring them into the purée stage. I'm not happy to hear your tastes have changed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
