pre op how big the stomach is

[Shoppingbeemom 31]

I was reading this morning about how many ounces one would be able to eat after surgery and I began to wonder how many ounces I can have before my surgery. Sooooo, I took my glass of milk and measured it , then drank it. I did this twice and became full. It was 64 ounces, that's 4 cups. Has anyone else tried this? No wonder Im hungry all the time.

I looked up on-line and the average stomach can hold 32 oz....but I'm sure mine is bigger..well at least before the pre op diet it was bigger!

I can't be sure, but I think mine was about as big as a 50 gallon drum. I could eat A L-O-T.

Seriously, that is interesting and I never tested mine out to see before surgery.

I'm a little confused. 4 cups is only 32 ounces.

Hi, I got that number by 4 x 16. 16 ounces in a cup=64

There's 8 oz in a cup.

I have to laugh - I always find myself thinking pound instead of cup and really have to watch myself when cooking!! 16 oz is a pound - 8 oz is a cup
