Anyone live in fear of stretching pouch?

I am 7 months post-op and have lost 111 lbs. I've been experiencing some plateaus. I live in fear of stretching my pouch. Recently, I was doing some snacking (peanuts, some high-fiber crackers, nothing too gross), which I have gotten under control again. But a couple of nights ago, I ate some turkey (big surprise this time of year!) that either overfilled me or didn't agree with me, and I got quite ill. (This kind of thing has happened maybe 8 times since my surgery in May.) Also, I tend to feel full suddenly when I eat, like one bite I'm not and the next I am, so I'm always afraid that I'll stretch my pouch out one extra bite at a time. Anyone have this fear? I am drinking lots of water (well, Crystal Light), getting in enough protein and supplements. I just still have this fear of stretching out my pouch. I'd love to hear from anyone who's post-op and maybe has gone through this...Thanks!
