Cottage cheese....?

[Joe I 180]

One of my favorites with cottage cheese is tuna, a double Protein blast...

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)

You can eat anything now? I had surgery same day as you and they want me on soft foods this week. Just ate some tuna for the first time in ages. What food have you eaten so far?

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.

Mine didn't. I loved cottage cheese before and loved it after surgery. Though post surgery I had a new distaste for broth I didn't have before surgery.

Sorry, no I wasn't told I could eat "anything". I was just happy to eat. I was given a pretty large list of pureed meats, Beans, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, pudding, tofu, oatmeal, . Then I saw the NUT this Monday and she told me that if I felt like my tummy could handle more food....then I could try the next stage. (since we are 4 weeks out on nextTuesday) I have had canned chicken, left it in the Water it's packaged in (so it didn't dry out) and heated it in the microwave. The NUT said dry meat is what typically makes you sick, so I could add broth or fat free gravy. I thought I am not eating pureed meat....so I popped it in the microwave and it was DELICIOUS. I ate it slowly and chewed it VERY well. I have had fat free refried Beans and used some fage yougurt to kinda dip them in.....YUM but it sits kinda heavy. And I have some high Protein oatmeal that I have been eating in the morning. I eat over 30-45 min because I don't want to get sick.....also I'm supposed to stop drinking 15 min before and 45 min after. Seems to work.

Are you with GHP in Michigan? Your plan is so similar to mine!!

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....

Maybe try it with a tablespoon of Polaner fruit Spread... I used pineapple, strawberry and apricot... Delish!
