question about certain foods



Recommended Posts

I have 4.5 cc in my band and can eat almost anything... but a weird thing happened. I eat cottage cheese and RESTRICTION... and how!

I can eat chicken, steak, whatever and no restrictions, but I can only eat a bite of cottage cheese without restriction.

I know, I know... just don't eat cottage cheese. I am just wondering if anyone else experiences these types of things with certain foods?

Actually anything cold - yogurt, cottage cheese, orange juice, is likely to block me up.

And I'm afraid to eat anything like ice cream or a thick shake becuase it gives me a REALLY painful belly ache that aches all the way up my throat and into the roof of my mouth. Its excruciating.

And I really struggle with Soup. It is definitely not a slider food for me, its a guaranteed eat only half a cup before I'm done food and therefore is a GREAT lunch for me.

That is really strange... Are the curds really large and thereby clumping up? Other than that - beats me. I don't have any issues with temperature variances with foods - all the way from very hot to frozen. Strange indeed.

I find cottage cheese (large curd) one of those sneaky foods - its so soft I forget to chew it...and if I don't, then I feel major restriction :wink2:

I would try chewing it ( I add some chopped nuts in mine to make it taste better and to remind me to chew!)..it's such a great source of Protein, I'm glad I can eat it :)

Good luck and Happy New Year,

      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.
