Bougie size?

mine does not use one

I have a 36f oversewn but I never asked me surgeon how tight or small he actually makes it. Speaking of cottage cheese test, I ate nonfat cottage cheese last night & measured out 3/4 of a cup. I finished it but I kinda forced 2-3 of the last bites down. I'm not sure how many ounces that is...

Carmelita, thank you so much for your long and informative post.  I am 9 months post-op.  I believe I was more comfortable eating 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.  Maybe I should have clarified that I ate about 1/4 of a cup more but it was over an additional 20 minutes.  That's what I meant by forcing it, sorry.  I dont usually eat, then wait and then eat more so that I get more food in.  I always eat and then when I'm satisfied, I stop for the meal.  It was later in the day when I ate my dinner of cottage cheese and I was barely tipping 600 calories for the day.  I wanted to reach my protein goal so I finished of the rest.
I also fully read the attached blog.  I found it very insightful, thank you!  :)

 6 fluid ounces, 168 g or About 6 ounces by weight

Geezuz, I feel kinda dumb asking this but for me being 9 months out, is 6 fluid ounces good or bad?  I was more comfortable at 1/2 cup but it was probably less than 3/4 cup.

 Ive been able to eat a cup comfortably since 4 weeks out.  I always measure out exactly 225 grams.  Everyones different.  I can also eat 4 ounxces of chicken pretty comfortably.

Hey there!!  I just got my band removed and a revision to the sleeve 7 weeks ago!  I love it!!  I asked my surgeon before surgery, and he says he uses a 34F Bougie, and also said that he oversews.  I have pretty good restriction or a small capacity and have no issues with foods.  It's great!!

i was said 32 fr oversewn. i have amazing restriction but im only 1 month out

My doctor uses a 32f and I have good restriction, at almost three years out, I can eat what other people my size eat normally.  Knowing what I know now, I would personally not want any less restriction that what I have now.  I can eat about 3 ounces of meat and 1/4 cup veggies comfortably.
