Question:
I can't stand Cottage Cheese

Any way I can do the test with anything else? UGH just looking at Cottage Cheese now ( and I am preop) makes me hurl.    — Diane Rhoads (posted on January 28, 2002)

I've found, as have many others at this site, that I now like foods I have previously hated and vice versa. In my case, it was chili and refried beans...I never liked those things before. Maybe you'll luck out and cottage cheese will taste pretty good to you. It was my experience that after having no food for 4 days in the hospital and liquids for a few more, that EVERYTHING looked pretty darn good! Good luck!

I know that your tastes change after this surgery, but, I am 17 months post op and I am still grossed out by cottage cheese. I think it is a texture thing with me. I just don't eat it.

I noticed that you chose the topic 'cottage cheese TEST'. Are you worried that you will have to do this test? There aren't many doctors that do the test so you probably don't have to worry about it. You may possibly like cottage cheese as a post-op, like the previous poster stated, because your tastes will differ than from that of a pre-op. If you still don't like it, just don't eat it.

So don't eat it! (lol) The famous "Cottage Cheese Test" is NOT a medical procedure....your doctor will never even mention it. It's a little self-administered test that some people do to judge how much food their pouches can hold. The vast majority of us never bother with it. You are safe....you don't have eat the stuff. I can relate! I hate it too.
