Stretched pouch or what?

Hello all, I could sure use your opinions on this. I had open RNY 4/10 and have lost 55 lbs for which I am very thankful. But, I seem to be able to eat way, way more than I ever thought possible. It's nowhere near what I used to eat of course, but I'm wondering if it is possible to have stretched my pouch alot already or if the opening from the pouch to the intestine has stretched? Yesterday a.m. I had a Lenders raisin bagel with 1 T. cream cheese. Lunch was 1/2 a patty melt (1 slice bread and 3-4 oz hamburger) and 1/2 c. fruit. Supper we grilled - had about 7 oz steak, 3 inch corn on the cob, 1/2 c. potatoe and 3/4 c. salad. I don't usually drink with meals, maybe 2 - 3 oz milk or water. I often read about folks that can't eat more than a cup of food at a time, if that much. And as you can see, this is more than 1 cup. Can I have ruined my chances of success with this surgery already? Is my eating out of wack big time? Is there anyone else out there that can eat this much? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
