It is a bit of a learning curve and every one is a bit different to the next. It's good to ask others with the band who have had it done in the past what kind of foods can be a problem. For me it's sweetcorn, asparagus, roast chicken, lamb, white bread, fizzy drinks. I'm now used to pushing the plate away after the first few mouth fulls and see what happens before I continue. Mind you if the band is doing it's job I wont be able to eat much more anyway. The great thing is I don't feel hungry anymore. Always remember to drink before your meal if passable. If your thirsty after you my not be able to drink for sometime. Jim.
