Is there any kind of timetable for how much you can eat? (RNY)

Is there any kind of timetable for how much you can or should eat, whether by ounces or volume or calories, at 3 months, 4 months, 5 months and out... Obviously there will be some variability from person to person, but I've never seen any kind of guidelines at all. It makes sense to me to eat until I am satisfied but not full. My wife says I'm totally blowing my rapid weight loss "window of opportunity" by not restricting how much I eat. During the first 8 weeks I was restricted by the Dr. to 4 tablespoons (or 2 oz) but I rarely felt any satisfaction let alone fullness. Since then he and the nut said I could eat until satisfied. I'm just over 3 months out from my Open RNY - today for lunch I had 4 ounces of albacore and about 2 cups of salad with 3 cherry tomatoes. Satisfied, not full. My wife thinks I ate way too much. If anybody here has anything authoritative on this subject I'd love to have it. Help!
