I have 4.5 cc in my band and can eat almost anything... but a weird thing happened. I eat cottage cheese and RESTRICTION... and how!

I can eat chicken, steak, whatever and no restrictions, but I can only eat a bite of cottage cheese without restriction.

I know, I know... just don't eat cottage cheese. I am just wondering if anyone else experiences these types of things with certain foods?

Actually anything cold - yogurt, cottage cheese, orange juice, is likely to block me up.

And I'm afraid to eat anything like ice cream or a thick shake becuase it gives me a REALLY painful belly ache that aches all the way up my throat and into the roof of my mouth. Its excruciating.

And I really struggle with Soup. It is definitely not a slider food for me, its a guaranteed eat only half a cup before I'm done food and therefore is a GREAT lunch for me.

That is really strange... Are the curds really large and thereby clumping up? Other than that - beats me. I don't have any issues with temperature variances with foods - all the way from very hot to frozen. Strange indeed.

I find cottage cheese (large curd) one of those sneaky foods - its so soft I forget to chew it...and if I don't, then I feel major restriction :wink2:

I would try chewing it ( I add some chopped nuts in mine to make it taste better and to remind me to chew!)..it's such a great source of Protein, I'm glad I can eat it

Good luck and Happy New Year,
