Cottage cheese ?

[kaysunshine 47]

9 days post op.

Without a (Nut)other than full liquids.< /p>

I could have cottage cheese pre op.

At what point can I have it returned back into my diet?

I am not sure what you mean about without a NUT.

Do you have a written post-op food plan?

For my program, cottage cheese and yogurt were included in my full liquid phase.

I was allowed cottage cheese at four weeks post-op. Every plan is different though, and mine was pretty conservative.

I thought NUT was nutritionist. I do have my written plan. However, cottage cheese isn't on the post op side.

I was just wondering.

NUT is nutritionist. I was just unclear why you would only have one for the full liquid phase. Doesn't your NUT and surgeon provide you with post-op care?

I'm on it since day 3

I'm on it since day three as well, in small amounts.

I think under most plans you can have cottage cheese whenever you can have yogurt. They seem to go together. Cottage cheese is a great post-wls food, enjoy! It's actually really good mixed with a tablespoon or two of PB2. I know that might sound strange, but it is good! I also like it with salsa or harissa or other spicy sauces.< /p>

I'll receive information from my NUT @ 6 week appt.

Went thur hiatal hernia program which doesn't provide a surgical team. I will receive all the information at some point. Not in the same Manner as others.

I'm going to give it a try....Thank you.

Wow, you need to call your surgeons office right away! I can't believe they gave you no post-op nutritional information. There has to be someone you can talk to. Lots of plans don't allow it by day 9, but the ones they do, come with specific instructions, and you don't have those.

Be careful eating something because someone else said they can have it, because they may have special rules about eating it. For example, I can have cottage cheese, but I'm allowed 3 mini meals of soft Protein, 1-2 oz max per day, spaced out and with Protein drinks. That piece is important... I can't just have it, however, whenever I wanted.

For me cottage cheese was considered a puree, which I couldn't have until 2 weeks out. I could have yogurt on full liquids right after surgery.
