Am I eating too much or is my pouch too big?

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I'm doing pretty good. I haven't thrown up anything yet. Liquids were fine, pureed was fine. Now I'm eating things like finely chopped chicken salad, cheese, eggs, and I tried some shrimp with a little butter lastnight. My portion for the chicken salad was about 1/4 cup. I had about 2 oz. of shrimp. Then for lunch today I had about 3oz. of chicken. This seems like alot of food for so early on. I thought I would eat 2 bites and be stuffed from this surgery. But it seems like I can eat a decent amount of food. I do find it difficult to figure out sometimes when I'm full. My concern is, is my pouch to big or does this sound about right? And I am kinda curious why I haven't had any problems with throwing up, maybe I just haven't overstuffed myself yet? I'm also worried because I've only lost 7lbs. in two weeks. Other people lose 20 lbs. in two weeks.
