Cottage cheese really isn't considered a "liquid", neither is yogurt. But considering you are still preop I suspect your surgeon is allowing the cottage cheese just so you have some kind of solid to make it easier to stick with the diet. I was on solids until the day before surgery. My preop diet consisted strictly of a Bariatric protein product. In order to shrink your liver what you need is a high protein, very low fat and low calorie diet. Low fat cottage cheese would fit in that kind of diet. If your surgeon is fine with it I wouldn't worry. Preop diets seem to really vary between surgeons.
