Jachut 487 Posted February 14, 2006 Yes, it could be what you're eating and when you eat hard foods you need to eat very slowly and carefully. It sounds easier but I'm actually finding that the hardest thing to master about being banded. But also, I'm beginning to learn, I think you need to look for a different sort of full. For most people I think it does involve serving a smaller portion than you think you want since we tend to serve up a full plate, eating it slowly and carefully and then stopping. You wont feel stuffed as you used to, but I find if you wait 10 minutes or so you do begin to realise you've had enough. It's satiety you're looking for not fullness.
