I know I can eat more than 2 oz. at a time now. Feeling sad and worried!

I read that between 6-8 weeks, your stomach should be completely healed of swelling or scar tissue, which normally results in not feeling full as fast. I know this is normal, but it scares me to eat more than two oz. (when I shouldn't be) and stopping at maybe 1/2 c. and still not feeling even slightly "full". I used to feel that if I took one more bite, I felt like I had to burp. That forewarning feeling hasn't been around in a while. I'm sure if I ate more, I'd feel it eventually, but...I was one of those persons who celebrates when they can't finish an egg, or half of a banana. Tonight, I ate part of a salad (maybe 5-6 bites) and had to make myself stop so I could eat the chicken from my husbands fajita. I ate two pieces and COULD OF EATEN MORE! Why? How could that of all fit and me not feel even slightly full? I felt satisfied, but had to tell myself "That was a lot more than 2 oz. so STOP!" I am 8 weeks out and down 41 lbs. I am happy with my success so far, but concerned my stomach can hold more so early on. What do you guys think about this?
