Food amount question

I'm a little over 3 months out.  Last night we went to Panera and I had the black bean soup.  It is low fat and has about 10g of protein.  The serving size for a bowl is about a cup and a half.  I ate almost the whole bowl!  Granted...we were there for a good while, talking and such (maybe an hour).  It kind of surprised me that I ate most of it!  If I were to continue to eat this much, would it "stretch out" my pouch?

Not likely, if you eat that amount of a "slider food" that will slide right through your pouch since it has so much liquid in it and eat it so slowly over such a long amount of time.

However, you might end up taking in more calories than you want to if you do that very often.
