Is this normal??

This is such a wonderful place for support... thank you all in advance! I had my surgery n 8/31 and was just feeling awful until I cheated on the "clear liquids only" and started "non-clear" liquids a day and a half earlier than I was supposed to. Now I'm starting to actually feel human again. My question, though, is this: am I eating too much?? Has my pouch streached out already?? Yesterday, I had one protein shake (spread out over the day), 4 oz. yogurt, and prob. 3-4 oz. cream of chicken soup w/ some pureed baby food chicken mixed in for extra protein. The problem? I think I could have had more. Then, this morning, I had about 2oz of a protein shake, then a couple of hours later, 2 oz of yogurt. It's almost lunchtime and I'm actually hungry. (Well, I THINK I am... I feel hungry). As I feel better, I can eat more at a time, and can take three or more consecutive sips of water at a time (instead of stopping after one tiny one). In fact, my sips are almost "normal size"... sometimes I have a bit of a burp when drinking, but I'm mostly fine. No throwing up, etc. I'm worried that my pouch is getting streached out and that I'll soon be eating too much. Does what I'm doing sound normal?

An update on this by me... Okay, I just went and had lunch. I was hungry... I had about 2 oz of my soup (cream of chicken w/ baby chicken puree in it) and approx. 2 oz of my protein shake. That's FOUR ounces. Is that too much? I feel pretty full (LOL) but I'm not throwing up by any means.

I had my surgery a day before yours and still on the clear liquid phase for another week. It may be that your pouch has healed very well and you're back in action, just know not to pu**** or get too full. If your body is asking for the food, and you are hungry, then you should get some food in your system...Don't make it sound like you're eating so much! hehe. My doctor's whole nutritional setup is: clear liquids for 2wks, soups/no purees yet for another 2wks, then the 2wks of puree. I feel as if I could definitely jump into the soups and purees already since my tummy feels empty and i get hungry at times. What I end up doing is just drinking another protein drink...but I def. don't think you're stretching the pouch...I have def. started experiencing that "hungry" feeling and sipping almost normal gulps one after another...
