How do you "doctor" your cottage cheese?



Recommended Posts

OK ..I know this is going to sound bizarre ..but I like lite french dressing on mine. We used to eat at a lot of salad bars when I was a kid and I always put cottage cheese on my salad and that orange french dressing was my fav. So now, as an adult, thats how I like my cottage cheese. It's like having my salad ..without the salad LOL.

One of my favorite recipes is Cottage cheese pancakes. Make sure that you undercook them when you are on the mushy stage so that they smash well with your fork. The recipe is loaded with Protein too!

2 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons of Water, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar free Maple Syrup. In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients. Put some spray butter in the frying pan and cook until both sides are golden brown flipping once. Serve with unsweetened applesauce. This is so yummy. Not to mention, you can add more sugar free Maple Syrup before servingp; but I find it sweet enough mixed in the batter. My husband and son add more to their pancakes though. Also, my husband does not touch sour cream or cottage cheese and I never tell him what I make it with just that its pancakes. Well, try it and let me know what you think.

hey these are really great ideas. I am like Jachut in that i used to buy a 'tub' of it, let it spend a few weeks in the fridge then toss it before it changed life forms. I couldnt get around it until recently. I found they sell it in small containers similar to activa yogurt in four oz individual containers and I LOVE THOSE, they are so fresh. I just put a packet of splenda in it and grab my baby spoon and im good. Something about KNOWING each serving is fresh matters to me for some reason. Maybe im weird.

The problem with cottage cheese (now that I have learned to eat it) is that it doesn't stay with me very long. I am hungry really soon after eating it. It's more of a treat, now that I mix it with yogurt.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
