What did they tell you? What are you eating that is "wrong"

I was told to stay away from yogurt, oatmeal, Pasta and sweets. Stick with eggs, lowfat cheese, turkey sausage, lean Proteins, any berry type fruits.

Protein will keep you full longer, especially solid Protein like fish and chicken(if chicken doesn't give you problems) Slider foods are things that go right through the band- like ice cream, chocolate, chips(things that are not good for you at all) funny how these things never give us problems. Try to stick to Protein shakes in your next three days of liquids. Get at least 70-80grams a day and you will notice your hunger decrease. Remember, your body can only absorb 30 grams at a time. Good luck with your band journey!

Thank you all very much for your responses!!! I haven't really been eating Breakfast and for lunch I usually have Beans and cheese and then fish or chicken for dinner. I really try hard not to eat anything in between but I'm not going to lie I will sometimes but for the most part it is fruit, cheese, or some type of lunch meat. I hope this fill will give me some restriction.

I usually keep deli turkey slices here at work in the fridge to help me with my mid morning and afternoon pangs.

This is contrary to what my Dr told me. I have a Protein Shake in the am that usually lasts an hour or 2. It contains 60+ grams of Protein. I asked if it made any difference if I drink it all in the morning or if I should spread it out, etc. He said it makes no difference at all, you body will sustain the amount of protein intake at any/all times. Interesting how different doctors have different advice; any other input?
