I know the question of whether or not a sleeve can stretch is a hotly contested and debated topic here, but I'm afraid something stretched or went wrong.

I'm 4.5 months out, and as of a couple weeks ago, I can eat a LOT more than I used to be able to. For lunch today, I had a whole boneless skinless chicken cutlet. Had to be at least 5-6 oz.! And its not like I'm cheating or forcing it down. I'm hungry a lot, and I don't get full unless I eat these large portions. Even then I'm often hungry again within an hour or two. I drink my recommended water every day so it's not just thirst.

I know I'm still eating less than I used to, obviously, but did I do something wrong? Did I stretch out my sleeve? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Well after worrying yesterday I broke out the food scale today. Turns out that my boneless skinless chicken breasts are only 3.8 oz. so I guess it's not really so concerning that I can eat a whole one at 5 months out. I thought it was way bigger (like 6-8 oz.). That said, I do feel hungry way more often than I used to, and am losing at a much slower rate. But I guess that's just a normal part of the process.

Okay, so you learned something valuable. Are you getting enough liquid in daily? From one of my past weight loss attempts, I remember the dietitian saying that the body sometimes uses hunger symptoms for both thirst and food. Try making certain that you're getting your 64oz of liquid in a day.
