Has Anyone done the Cottage Cheese & Yogurt Diet for more than 2 weeks?



Recommended Posts

I ask because I am thinking of starting next Monday. I am only due to start on the 21st, but frankly I am out of control!!:help:

This weekend my daughter will be away seeing her Dad and so DH and I will have an evening out and then a little romance. Seems like a good time to start, a new beginning.

What do you guys think??:)

I dunno Susan...there are pros and cons to starting it a week early.

The biggest problem I see with it is: what if you start it and then you "fall off it" once or twice (or more?)...if you DO fall off it, that is okay because you don't "need" to be on it this early. But my fear is that if you fall off it you will beat yourself up about it and tell yourself, "how can I do it for real when I can't even do it now" etc etc and you will get all discouraged when it is time to do it for "real"....do you know what I mean? I'm not sure I'm explaining it correctly.

It's hard enough....(the hardest part of the whole process for me) so not sure you should subject yourself to it (& possible "failure") too early when you don't have to. If you feel you will still stay positive about it if you do fall off it and NOT beat yourself up and be more freaked out when it is time to do it for real.....then by all mean, go for it!

No help here, eh?!!

Lots of help Yoda. I totally get what you mean. I do think that I can commit to it 100%. Maybe this first trial week add in veggies and fruit though - kinding of easing into the real thing. I just feel like I need SOMETHING to get me off this binge.

p.s. - why can't we eat veggies and fruit on the real thing?

Probably because they have too much sugar.....though natural...the point is to stay away from it (& the carbs).

      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.
