WHY AM I NOT GETTING THE FULL FEELING?????????

I had Lap RNY on 11/06/08. I started soft foods/pureed food on 11/21/08. I did pretty good on the liquid diet but now I am scared with the soft foods. When I eat, I do not feel full. Many people say they can only eat about 2 bites then they are full. I never get the full feeling. Since I try to get in all of my liquids, sometimes I eat once a day. Today was different. I had a cup of skim milk for breakfast. Then for lunch I was able to eat 8 oz. of hummus w/fat free cheese. For dinner I was able to eat about 8oz of cottage cheese. After the 8oz., I did not get full. I felt I could still eat more. I did notice that after eating my stomach starting to rumbel and I started to burp. In order to get in all of my liquids, I sometimes drink 32 oz. at one time. Is my pouch too big? Have I stretched it out by drinking too much at one time? Please help, I feel like a failure already. I feel like the suregery is not working. I only get in my protein from the food or milk I eat/drink. Is this why I do not feel full and I can eat a lot? If I can eat this much now, I am scared at what I will be able to eat in the upcomng months. I know this is a lot of info, but I am beginning to panic!!
