I can eat about 4 oz of semi liquids now (at 11 days post op) but it takes me an hour to do it

I too was concerned. I am 10 weeks out and 55lbs down. I am now eating solid food. "Chicken, meat, fish". And you will quickly notice that you can only eat 2 oz or so of this heavier food. Cottage cheese, soup, yogert and the like are what my Dr. calls " slider " food. It is soft and will slip down your pouch and past with out much effort. When you try real solid food you will see the difference.
Don't worry and good luck.

I was just thinking of this very same question! Yesterday the hubster and I took our grandson to McDonald's playland and I had a cup of their broccoli/cheese soup. I ate THE WHOLE THING!! It was over a period of about 45 minutes though and it was probably a "slider" food; as was mentioned here.

I worry about stretching the old pouch too...but I think I'll quit worrying since I do know when I'm getting full. I know it helps to drink a lot of fluids as this fills you up during the day too and probably works to prevent you from getting too hungry. (And yes...it's only been a month since my bypass but I do get hungry...and it ain't "head hunger" either...poopy ain't it)?

Good luck to you and keep on keeping on!
