So if cottage cheese gags ya, will puddin' do?
For the sake of my insatiable curiousity I wanted to test my 40f tiny-tummy because I keep marveling that it hasn't gotten huge after all I've read about bougie size (I know my surgeon said he was making a tight 40, but still). Anyway, here was my experimental method:
Take one container of sugar-free pudding. Add a little milk to thin, then back into the container so it filled to the original spot. Conduct cottage cheese test as directed. I got just over 3.5 oz. Does that sound right at 6 months? I know I can't eat 2 oz of solids, but this was more fluid and would fill every space in my tummy.
Whaddaya think? Fairly valid or way off?

but if he did a really tight 40 it may very well be the same as someone with a 32 that is not tight..
if at 6 months out your not eating 2 ounces id not be concerned lol..

At 18 months out, I hit about 4.5-5oz with the yogurt, and then I forced down doing it with cottage cheese, and got the same meeasurement.
So, for my body, the yogurt worked the exact same.
The key is the time. It's gotta be done in that 5 minute time frame.
I did not thin the yogurt before. I simply followed the directions.

Hey there,
I have a 42 FB and if you use it correctly, it won't get huge. As you get further out you will have more room. Well, That's from my experience. I only do 3ish to 4ish oz of protein...Or 2ish 3ish ounces of protein and some veggies/starch per meal. BUT, seems a lot of the white carby stuff will fit in. Oh and nuts!..LOL

At almost 20 months, I can eat gobs of slider foods but 4-5 oz of pork chop and I'm good to go for 6 hours. I know I can eat more protein than some others but keep it in check. If I'm adding some veggies, 3-4 oz protein is my limit.
Our sleeves work really well if we respect them.
