Cottage Cheese And ?



Recommended Posts

Keep in mind that different brands of cottage cheese all taste different and have several consistencies. I love Trader Joe's cottage cheese, but I have tried different brands every so often, take one spoonful and throw it out. Some are much denser but I like the creamier ones. Perhaps the one you tried had a denser texture which may turn you off. I have it every morning about 2 oz. with Breakfast. I like pineapple tidbits in mine or canned diced peaches. Alot of people on here love it with tuna but I have never tried it. Try another brand if you can. I think you would like the creamier much better.

MMMmmmmm!! I love my cottage cheese!! Almost every night since solids started, I've had cottage cheese with low sugar fruit preserves. 1/2 cottage cheese and 3 tbls. of the low sugar preserves that I either buy or make. If I make it, it has even lower sugar. YUM.

p.s.... before surgery...cottage cheese was NOwhere on my radar!! Funny how things change!

That's a good idea. I might try the preserves.

I eat lowfat 1% great value cottage cheese from Walmart and it is my favorite I have tried all different brands of CC. I use salt and pepper or top with salsa and use as a dip. I eat fresh pineapple with cottage cheese on the side and add a sprinkle of salt to my pineapple.

Cinnamon, yogurt, fruit, salt and pepper with tomatoes. Any combination really> I have come to the conclusion that people either like cottage cheese with sweet things, or they like it savory. Experiment. The possibilities are endless :)

You can get no sugar preserves. I think Kroger makes a brand and there is All Fruit and Polners.(sp?). I think the Kroger one has Splenda in it.

Above posters are right. I love, love, love CC, but not all brands are created equal. Find one you can at least tolerate because the Protein is great. You can add sweet or savory foods. Sounds strange, but diced up dill pickles are great in CC, and sometimes I add black olives along with the pickles. Tomatoes are wonderful. All kinds of fruits. The options are endless if you just find the right CC. Happy hunting. K

That is funny the day I posted in this topic it made me want to have CC and so I had and had dill pickles slices on the side as I don't like anything mixed in... My husband made so much fun of me he said good thing we know you are not pregnant lol.

Mix cottage cheese with ricotta cheese. Add a bit of sugar free vanilla pudding mix and a few drops of lemon juice - kind of like cheesecake.

I like cottage cheese (large curd please) and chives! If you get the dried ones in the supermarket, mix them in & let "soak" for a while.

This reminded me that I have eaten cottage cheese with green onion and I like that too. I guess I just really like cottage cheese! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
