Big Pouch Day?

Is this what vets refer to as a big pouch day?  I am so flippin' hungry today!  I am eating healthy stuff, feeling satisfied when I am done, but getting hungry a couple of hours after that.  Here's what I have eaten:

7 am protein shake 
9: 30 am 1 scrambled egg with ham (ate about 3/4 of it)
11:30 am 1/2 cup of Greek "cheesecake" yogurt (I usually only eat 1/4 cup)
1:15 toppings off of a large slice of veggie pizza and 1/2 of a pear

I am not eating because I crave any of these things; it's true tummy hunger.  In fact, I am making an extra effort to eat smart, since it looks like my 5-6 meals is going to be more like 7-8 meals today, LOL!

So, is this a "big pouch" day, or is that more like when you can eat a lot all at once?

One thing I can see I'm not going to like about the new format is that it doesn't give the surgery date or type, at least not that I can see.  I am going to assume you are pretty newly post op from RNY.  It is perfectly normal to be able to eat more as you get further out.  I don't see anything bad in what you have eaten or the amount.  You need to be able to eat more as you go on or you would starve in the long run.  Another thing to keep in mind is that for every big pouch day you will probably have one or more little pouch days where a few bites makes you feel stuffed.  I am 2 years out and I am still getting used to the idiosyncrasies of this surgery.
