What are you using for liquid to purée it 5 days out btw!! Anyone using the cow cheese in 1 week post op?

When I finally was given permission to eat cottage cheese, I made sure it was low-fat and I didn't puree it. I did however "thin it out" with 2% Fairlife milk. Now at five weeks out, I just eat it as is from the container. Haven't had issues with it either way.

I am only allowed full liquids until day 14, but I have been thinking about plain cottage cheese as my first soft food because it is delicious! ♡????

@@Ashlegal - great minds lol

When were you allowed to eat cottage cheese?

I didn't have cottage cheese until day 17 and that was the start of my pureed. I follow my guidelines and puree all of the food I eat; cottage cheese, canned tuna/chicken/turkey, beans, veggies. There is a reason why we have stages to follow so why push it and not puree? I have the rest of my life to chew and at this point my stomach is still healing, I need to let it do so.

Pureed cottage cheese with fruit? Can that be a thing in that stage?

I love peaches and cottage cheese.

When were you allowed to eat cottage cheese?

I was given permission to eat Cottage Cheese (lowfat) on days 8 and beyond.

I was also given permission to eat cottage cheese at day 8. On the paper says purée soups purée this but for cottage cheese doesn't say purée so I was confused on that part

I was ok'd to advance to phase two on Day 7- the first step was sugar free yogurt, cottage cheese or sugar free applesauce for 2-5 days than continue.

I had no trouble with small curd 1% cottage cheese. It was yummy! ????

@@Tssiemer1 Pureeing cottage cheese with (canned in its own juice or no sugar added) fruit should be fine. Just make sure you use canned fruit, not regular fruit, as regular fruit is not going to puree as well (needs to be really soft).

Note what you will end up with will be essentially flavored cottage cheese sauce, but if that works for you, great.

Also note that because the volume of actual cottage cheese you will be eating will be lower (some of that volume is now fruit), the Protein you will be consuming will be lower than if you didn't add fruit.
