Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi, I'm no scientist, but it seems like the water in these tests would flow into areas not formerly occupied by the cottage cheese or oatmeal. I wonder if just weighing the cottage cheese or oatmeal, then eating your fill, then weighing the cheese or oatmeal again would bring about the same amount of ounces as the water?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Has anyone done the cottage cheese test? I didnt have any cottage cheese so used oatmeal this morning.....I was able to eat 9 ounces of it! Is that a bit much, does anyone know? Im 8 1/2 months out and 30 lbs to goal......

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 how > your arrived at your conclusion on 9 ounces.>>>>>.. I weighed it and then used a measuring cup with 16 ounces on it...althought I would think the oatmeal would weigh more than liquid? Double checked it and it was 9 ounces..... I can eat an 8 oz steak and a few bites of potato and veggie at dinner....so that sounds about right! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 thanks Anita....I cant help but wonder if 9 ounces is a bit much? On the other hand Dr Welker said my tummy at surgery time was approx 5 ounces and would double by one year......so Im getting close to 10 ounces now... there is always that fear that maybe after they have stretched it might be a bit much. I guess I would have to make my goal in order to know it aint so! Judie ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the " cottage cheese " test with oatmeal three times. The first and third times I got a stomach capacity of 10 oz, and the second time I did the test, I got a size of 9½ oz. I first did the test at 4-1/2 months post-op. It is still 10 oz now. I think that is too big for this soon post-op. Dr. Welker is considering making it smaller when I have my revision. I hope he is able to-- I miss the quality of satiety I had as a fairly new post-op. >> To clarify, you are talking about fluid ounces not weight, correct!
