How big is the transected stomach?

Hi everyone! I had my Open RNY revision Aug 19. This time my surgeon transected my stomach. It's been about six weeks and I have lost 24lbs. I am not complaining about my weight loss, however I am concerned with the amount of food I am able to intake. It feels like I can eat without any restriction. I have heard that pouches that are transected are made a little larger so that they can expand to a healthy size. I called my nutritionist for some support, which was helpful, and she suggested that I see the doctor. I have already made the appointment. My question to my AMOS family is what has been your experience with having a transected pouch. What was and is your food intake? How successful have you been regarding your weight loss? And is there any other helpful tips or information that you can provide me with, so that my third chance at life be more successful than my second?
