Jello is considered a liquid, so most people can have that right away. In fact, I think they gave that to me when I was still in the hospital.

as for cottage cheese, it depends on your plan. I was able to eat purees as soon as I got home from the hospital, so I ate cottage cheese right away - after whirring it around in the blender to get the lumps out. But some people are on straight liquids the first week or two. It'd be best to contact your clinic since post-op diets vary. Plus you had DS, which isn't a common surgery. Most of us on here had RNY or VSG, and the requirements may be different.

About 11 days out - which was a little early for my plan (should have waited until day 14). But at that stage I was feeling pretty desperate for something semi-solid. And I started out by just trying a couple spoonfuls.

Jello was right away. Cottage cheese was allowed in the second week for my diet plan...

Never had Jello, but I was cottage-cheesing at 2 weeks post op.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
