Ok dr said he used a 34 french bougie(sp) but I can eat 4 oz cottage cheese or yogurt and feel 0 restriction but I stop myself. I feel hungry often and its just not what I was expecting. Has anyone else had this happen/feeling? I'm worried I have already ruined it..

Well, yogurt is considered a fluid actually so you will be able to eat more. I'm four weeks out and can almost eat a 6 oz carton (not quite, but almost). Cottage cheese may be similar as it is not really that dense and consists of a lot of liquid. I can eat four ounces of cottage cheese but I tend to eat it a little too fast probably so I get full on it.

The dr gave me a diet of 3 oz every 2 hours and so forth. I am a revision paitent and I'm not sure that makes a difference.

After my liquid phase and all that good stuff and still now, i was told by my NUT to measure 1/3 cup total for each meal. Since that is what is on my plate, thats what i eat.

don't give yourself any temptation putting more on your plate, saying hmmmm, maybe i should stop now. With everything measured, you can't question yourself to eat more, even if you think you might be able to eat more STOP

That way i'm full - also remember to eat very slowly, chew thoroghly (msp) and donl drink w/your meals. Rember all this, there will be a test

good luck

ps you didn't stretch your sleeve
