I'd say to stick with the amounts of food your surgeon/nut rec.  You are still healing and need to follow their guidelines.  I doubt you've stretched your pouch, but, as always, if you are worried, call your doctor. 

What types of foods are you able to eat more of?  Are they "sliders"?  I know I can eat A LOT more yogurt and such than I can chicken/steak and other more solid protein.  Just keep on measuring!

Good luck!

It's definitely normal.  And 4 oz. is about 1/2 cup which seems pretty normal.  I doubt you've stretched your pouch.  Like Ruth said, keep measuring and follow your surgeon's guidelines and you'll be fine.

I dont think you have   stretched your  pouch  but  dont put more in it than  you are suppose to or you will  do that.

Like everyone said  measure and weigh and go buy your book  and what the nuts  say.

Depending on what kind of food   i still cant eat  4 ounces of  steak at one time.

but i can eat  4 ounces of mashed potato which is  a bad choice.

have a great  day

I am 10 weeks out and I too can eat more. Like Ruth, I can eat more yogurt than i can meat. I can only eat 3 or 4 bites of meat and I am full but yogurt on the other hand I can eat more of and feel less full.
