My doc told me that the pouch in the beginning is the size of a golf ball.

Your doctors make big pouches! I was told the size of a thumb which is around 1/2 - 1 ounce. I'm surprized the size seems to vary so much. Maybe people who lose slower have bigger pouches? It would be interesting to find out. I'd rather start off smaller since it will strech out anyway.

From the mouth of Dr. C - starting size=golf ball, 3mos=lime, 6mos=lemon If you want to know the volume of your pouch, he says, eat as much cottage cheese as you can in 5 min. hope this helps!

Yep, my doc said size of a man's thumb at the start. He said it should stretch to be a maximum of 8 ounces at or around 1 year.

Wow, the size of a thumb? I think that is extremly small even to survive. my doc told me its the size of an egg. an dit can get a little bigger with time. He also said we want to try and avoide the pouch from stretching.
