Default Not feeling full, drinking much more... Broken Pouch?

Ok so I am now 3 1/2 months post op and have been released to eat normal foods and have been told I can increase the amount I eat to between 1/4 and 3/4 cup, to naturally stop when I feel full. They told us sometimes you will eat more sometimes less, go by what your body is telling you. First off, of course I am not out eating all the stuff the got me obese in the first place.

Here is my concern, in the beginning I would feel "full" when I was eating and often wouldn't be able to eat the 1/4 that I was allowed to eat. Well the last month or so, I have not felt that feeling of full. I am able to drink more than I was before without getting stomach cramping. Did I break my new pouch somehow?? What is going on? Tonight I was eating and I ate a full cup of veggies (the only thing that the thought of didn't make me want to puke). I stopped at the cup, but still not feeling full.

I have been feeling sick almost every time I eat something, not right away but 20-30 min later. I am not really hungry yet and I am just at a loss as to what could be going on.

Any ideas, suggestions, butt kicking etc would be appreciated.
