Guys, help! I am so worried my sleeve is stretched out :((((

I just ate 5 1/2 ounces of a combination of chicken and rice in some peanut sauce, it comes out to almost 2/3 a cup. I am a little over 7 months out, and I am so scared my sleeve is huge! Can anyone help or give advice? I'm really worried my stomach is too big, especially since most people on here say that they can only eat 2 or so ounces. I know that eventually out sleeves are supposed to hold a little more, but I feel like that comes way father out, like a year or so! So my concern is that my sleeve is going to continue to get big and by a year out I'll be able to eat like I used to! This may sound irrational, but I am very fearful! Please help if you can!

I was told to expect that my stomach would hold 1/2 to 1 cup of food around the six month stage, so 2/3 cup sounds about right.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
