I hope this makes you feel better, I can eat a 10 oz t.v dinner, potatoes, corn and steak, then I am full, I think we just have to watch the type calories we eat, like sugars etc, they don't take up room, I think we are normal, read yesterday that out pouch was so little before because we were swollen, and the pouch can not streach that much
