I think that my pouch is larger than 2ozs. , Some days i can eat more than 2ozs.

I am 4 weeks post-op, and on some days i can eat more than 2ozs. For instance i can eat my small portion and still nibble on additional veggies or water, and i know the water that i consume at times is more than two ounces. Another concern of mines is that i can tolerate all foods that i try, such as meatloaf, fried chicken. i never have a full piece but i do take a bite, i can also tolerate sunny delight breakfast drink, i can take sips and not become sick or dump. I haven't tried any sweets, but i have not thrown up at all, or dumped. i thought that my new stomach will let me know when i have definately eaten to much. Although i keep my meal portions accordingly, i still have not had any ill feelings at all. Could there be something wrong? I have lost maybe 30lbs., i was last weighed 11-03, and i had lost 26 then i know i probably have lost a few more since then. I try to only weigh myself at the my doctors appt. I drink water not as much as i should at times but for the most part i get some in every day and i take two multi Flitstone chewable vitamins the nutritionist at Loyola Hospital in Chicago said it was not necessary to take additional protein supplements, that i should get enough in the protein foods i need. But from reading this sight everyone takes additional protein. Should I? Please Help Very Scared and Confused...........
