Is my pouch starting to relax already?

I've heard that the pouch relaxes after 6 to 9 mos and that is why the 'honeymoon' period ends. Could mine be doing that now? I'm twelve weeks post-op and have noticed that in the past couple of days I have been able to consume a little more. For instance this evening I went to our county fair and got a country ham sandwich (my favorite!) I would say it was about 2-3 oz of lean meat on a regular size hamburger bun and I was able to eat all of it (minus two bites and some of the bun I removed) and I didn't feel full, satisfied, but not full. I chewed well but I was still able to consume it in less than five minutes. A bad choice? Most likely but I've been pretty good otherwise. I'm 12 weeks out today and down 42 lbs, but I am SOOO very scared that my 'honeymoon' period will end before I even get halfway and if my pouch is already going to let me eat more I'm afraid I'll be back to square one. Maybe it's just me obsessing and it wasn't a GREAT amount of food, but it sure looked like it when it was over and I looked back at what I had done! PS- I started with a 1 oz. pouch. Thanks, Pam
