I was allowed cottage cheese at four weeks post-op. Every plan is different though, and mine was pretty conservative.

I am not sure what you mean about without a NUT.

Do you have a written post-op food plan?

For my program, cottage cheese and yogurt were included in my full liquid phase.

I thought NUT was :huh: nutritionist. I do have my written plan. However, cottage cheese isn't on the post op side.

I was just wondering. ^_^

NUT is nutritionist. I was just unclear why you would only have one for the full liquid phase. Doesn't your NUT and surgeon provide you with post-op care?

I think under most plans you can have cottage cheese whenever you can have yogurt. They seem to go together. Cottage cheese is a great post-wls food, enjoy! It's actually really good mixed with a tablespoon or two of PB2. I know that might sound strange, but it is good! I also like it with salsa or harissa or other spicy sauces.< /p>

I'll receive information from my NUT @ 6 week appt.

Went thur hiatal hernia program which doesn't provide a surgical team. I will receive all the information at some point. Not in the same Manner as others.

Wow, you need to call your surgeons office right away! I can't believe they gave you no post-op nutritional information. There has to be someone you can talk to. Lots of plans don't allow it by day 9, but the ones they do, come with specific instructions, and you don't have those.

Be careful eating something because someone else said they can have it, because they may have special rules about eating it. For example, I can have cottage cheese, but I'm allowed 3 mini meals of soft Protein, 1-2 oz max per day, spaced out and with Protein drinks. That piece is important... I can't just have it, however, whenever I wanted.

For me cottage cheese was considered a puree, which I couldn't have until 2 weeks out. I could have yogurt on full liquids right after surgery.

      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.
