8 days post op & barely feeling the restriction I felt even two days ago. Normal?

I'm very nervous that something is wrong or my body is defective. I cant help but notice each day liquids go down more quickly and greater amount with zero problem. I haven't been nauseated, I haven't thrown up at all and I had serious restriction right after surgery up until day 5. Now on day 8, feeling hunger pains. Could I have stretched my pouch even this early and only on stage 2!?

I never had any issues with restriction on liquids. But once food was introduced that changed. I am 7 weeks post op and still have a few issues if I am not mindful of bite sizes and eating slower.

I think I am in the same boat as everyone 1 week post-op....

I gulp liquids (but still dehydrated because I don't do it enough). But sometimes I have pain because I think I have too much and other times, none.

I did sneak a small snack cup of hummus and it felt like a liquid going down but fuller, I guess would be the word?

I am scared because I didn't lose in the first week and I am way under protein, but I also am having trouble making myself drink soups and what not slowly.

My VSG may stretch this is so bad! But I am not hungry and definitely am not overeating....
