Do I have restriction?

[fairydust 0]

This may seem a strange question, but I am not sure hw much of it I have! I have a large AP band with 9 in it. I definately eat less quantity than I used to. I have just had my 3rd fill and I feel a tight sensation where the band is and I had some swelling after te fill which caused discomfort but I have not noticed much change int he amount I can eat.

I expected to be able to eat only half a sandwhich and I ate a whole one yesterday for lunch and I seem to have no problem with bread. I do find Pasta is not good and red meats and I have had some sliming but only once where I was sick.

What do you reckon? Am I just eating the wrong things? What foods are good for restriction. I was only given basic healthy eating guidelines and I feel like I need a diet manual!!

Any help gratefully received!!:biggrin:

Thanks Jack

I think you are right, I really have to work on that. I guess I still think the band can do more than it does sometimes!! If you have any good techniques or support for this sortof thing I would love to know!!
