I'm three weeks out and have a few questions. Are spices ok? I'm looking for ways to jazz up my cottage cheese. I'm thinking dried dill weed or rosemary or something. Lol

Also my dietitian talked about corn tortillas being pretty early but can't remember when they were allowed.

Thanks for your help

You can definately add spices to your foods, they are no calories and make a big difference.

I'm not the one to give advice on spices. Was born into a family of dragons. Anything with a SHU score less than 100,000 was practically banned in my family, and wasn't considered 'spice'.

I was worried about how my stomach would hold-up after my sleeve. I've slowly eased spices back into my diet with no issues.

I started spices and hot sauce very early on with no problems, but like @@Middus my whole family is pretty much immune to anything having to do with spices other than that we do love them.

I wasn't allowed corn or any other grain until I reached my goal weight and successfully maintained for a while, but all programs are different. Personally I would not choose a food that post-op doesn't have a lot of nutritional value such as corn but YMMV.

I put the dry Hidden Valley Ranch powder dressing on my cottage cheese and it's wonderful. I probably don't use more than a tsp. I also used/use quite a bit of Mrs. Dash, as it's salt free and she has many different flavors. It really helps liven up your food.
