You didn't stretch your stomach out. My surgeon told me it takes several years of overeating to stretch your stomach and then it won't be as much as you think. Your stomach is supposed to accept more food at time goes by. How much more was your salad than what you normally eat? Sometimes I can eat more than other days. Tonight I ate 3 chicken wings, 6 small to medium size scallops, 3 bites of salad and 5 green Beans. I was very full but not exploding. Last night I had a small cup of chili and 1/2 a thin burger patty and thought I would explode!

I notice some days are different as well. However a hole bunch I've times I've eaten to the point where I have to lay down bc I was just getting used to the idea of taking my time. Does it mean I over ate and poss stretched it out. U make me feel a little better

I think this is very common. I too noticed an increase in eating capacity at the 6-7 month point. The key for me was just to continue to monitor my calorie intake and keep it consistent with my needs rather than eat to fullness.
