10 DAYS POST OP - ATE CHICKEN & RICE NO PAIN IS THIS NORMAL?

I am only 10 days post op from lap band surgery. Tuesday I ate pudding and it hurt so badly and scared me. I met with my doctor yesterday who said that was a good thing because I already had restriction and wouldn't need a fill yet. I have been doing well on liquids and no "food" since April 26th. Tonight I was making stir fry for my family and was just so hungry for a taste. I took a bite (normal not pureed) and it didn't hurt so I took 3 more bites and still no pain. I am full now but could I have already stretched the pouch? I just assumed the restriction I already had would make it hurt or be hard to get the chicken down but it was easy. I am worried something may not be done correctly. I should still be on liquids and slowly start adding pureed food in the next couple of weeks. Why didn't I have problems with the chicken/stir fry? Any ideas or advice? Thank you! This website is such a great thing for WLS patients.
