Question:
Ok I did the CC test and could only eat 2 oz but 20 minutes later...

I could eat 3.5 ozs of italian beef in juice. It weighed and measured 3.5 ozs and took me 6 minutes to eat. Should I have been able to do this I wonder if I gagged on the cottage cheese because I normally don't eat it and usually don't eat until late morning. Does this mean things pass to quickly through my pouch or should cottage cheese have been gone by then. I am usually a slow eater but after reading pouch rules I guess we are suppose to eat fast. I can eat a 1/2 oriential chicken salad from Applebees in a half hour which is pretty big for those who do not have Applebee's by them. Sort of like Wendys which I can eat all the toppings and half the lettuce in the same amount of time.    — Candace F. (posted on October 19, 2002)

The juice is liquid, so that test would not be accurate. Liquids push foods thru the tummy/pouch. If you cannot use cottage cheese, you may sub cream-of-wheat (about the same consistency) then, follow the rest of the instructions. This is not an exact science, but will give you an idea of the size of your pouch. Good Luck with your test :-)
