Jello is considered a liquid, so most people can have that right away. In fact, I think they gave that to me when I was still in the hospital.

as for cottage cheese, it depends on your plan. I was able to eat purees as soon as I got home from the hospital, so I ate cottage cheese right away - after whirring it around in the blender to get the lumps out. But some people are on straight liquids the first week or two. It'd be best to contact your clinic since post-op diets vary. Plus you had DS, which isn't a common surgery. Most of us on here had RNY or VSG, and the requirements may be different.

About 11 days out - which was a little early for my plan (should have waited until day 14). But at that stage I was feeling pretty desperate for something semi-solid. And I started out by just trying a couple spoonfuls.

Jello was right away. Cottage cheese was allowed in the second week for my diet plan...

Never had Jello, but I was cottage-cheesing at 2 weeks post op.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
