Why am I able to tolerate so much so soon after surgery?

I am 11 days out and my surgeon started me on soft foods yesterday and its working but he said I should only be able to take in 2oz of tuna, or eggs or whatever protein soft foods I desire to fill me up but I can consume much more and I don't feel sick. So far I have not felt nausea or the "full" feeling. I am drinking 12oz of protein shake a day and 30oz of water daily as well..........anyone else? I am afraid I will try to eat more and more and will regret it.
