Trying To Learn A New Way Of Eating Pre Op



Recommended Posts

I have been trying new things that are high in Protein. I actually like Greek yogurt but I'm having a hard time with cottage cheese. I can eat it but i don't enjoy it ( which is fine I'll still eat it for the protein). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prepare cottage cheese to taste a lil better? What protien foods do you eat that is low in volume but high in protien other than the obvious such as meat? Thanks in advance, I know my taste may change but I'm trying to get an idea of mean sources of protien.

Add a little Torani peach Syrup to it. Or choppy he heck out of some canned peaches.

My nutritionist recommended ricotta cheese as an alternative since I'm not a huge cottage cheese fan either.

Sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash in it...It amps the flavor up without unecessary calories.

You can try farmers cheese. I am Russian and We make it at home :). It's yummy and not so strong in flavor.

The most important thing is to learn to eat slowly and small bites. That one takes a while

I had never heard of farmers cheese so I googled it & I'm going to try it, thanks. I have been practicing small bites/sips & chewing forever before I swallow :) hard than it sounds!

I just started putting salsa in my cottage cheese and I really like it. Also try ricotta with some maranara sauce. I eat a ton of shrimp and I make a greek yogurt wasabi sauce which I love on my salmon too. I tend to get most of my Protein from fish and cheese since I dislike meat. Just watch the calories with the cheese.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
