I made this today and it was pretty good. I made a couple of them with cheddar cheese (I ran out of cottage cheese) and stuck them under the broiler for a couple minutes and those turned out pretty good also.

Don't miss the spiritual gifts here. The adventure of seeking is literally transformative but short lived. Don't miss the joy of trying this new path.

I really like it just plain, but it's great with fruit (my favorites are peaches, pineapple, or mandarin oranges). For a non-sweet version a little cracked pepper is great, or I also put it on top of cucumber slices as sort of a "healthy nachos" kind of thing. Probably one of my favorite things to do is add it as I'm scrambling eggs. I'll put one egg and a tablespoon or so of cottage cheese into a pan and stir like crazy. As the egg scrambles the cottage cheese mixes in and melts just a bit. Sounds weird, I know, but it's a great way to keep your eggs moist (especially important in the early post op phases) but also adds some extra protein! [emoji1]

with grilled chicken. with lima Beans. with peaches. with apple slices. with ham. with ranch dressing mix. with raw veg.

I LOVE cottage cheese. but, some brands are better than others. so if one is just kinda eh - try a different brand.

my favorite is the 365 at whole foods, low fat but Kroger is an acceptable alternative when I can't get over to the whole foods store.

^^this^^ All brands are not the same. I generally only eat Daisy brand or Nancy's (ingredients I can pronounce and know that they are).

This morning, my cottage cheese is topped with unsweetened applesauce, a little stevia and PB2.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
