Nik's Taco Casserole question

For those of you who have made the casserole (YUM - if you haven't, do so immediately!)
How much of it do you eat at a meal?

It fills me up and keeps me satisfied, but I can eat a cup of it, AND 2 mini sweet peppers with cheese. (and not get my "full" signal of sighs / runny nose)

I swear my pouch is the size of a soccer ball.

I eat about 1/4 cup but I'm at 10 wks. My NUT says I'll eventually be able to eat 1 cup of food.

I can eat between 3/4c - 1c, depending upon the day.

I'm also noticing how much more I can eat at 9months. Kind of scary, isn't it?

I may be the space alien in the room, but I liked it when I could eat a halfway normal amount. Restriction always pissed me off. I can deal with a cup of food. That quarter cup crap freaked me out.

I guess it is just that I know I have no portion control and I need all the help I can get. Pre-op I figured at almost 9mths out, I would be picking bits of ground meat and choosing which english pea to eat. I can deal with a cup and a small side (my peppers and cheese) but I worry about where my restriction will be next year or the next.
