If you don't have restriction yet, my .02 is that you don't set yourself up for failure through hunger by cutting your food to 1/2 cup per meal. Again, just my .02.

I'll usually start my morning with either a low carb Protein shake made with skim milk and half a banana. Sometimes I'll have an egg and slice of bacon with the top half of an English muffin, although I was just filled again this past Thursday and I only made it through the egg and bacon this morning.

Then 2.5 hours after Breakfast, I'll drink a low carb, low cal Protein Shake (about 110 calories and 2 carbs).

2.5 hours after that I have lunch which is usually about 2-3 oz of Protein and 1/2-1 c. of steamed vegies (broccoli, cauliflower, green Beans, brussel sprouts, etc.) or I'll have 3 oz of tuna or chopped cooked chicken mixed with celery, onion and just enough mayo to moisten it a bit over about 1 cup of chopped lettuce or 3 oz of grilled chicken in a tossed salad with a homemade vinagrette (olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic, thyme, mustard).

2.5 hours after lunch I'll do another low carb, low cal Protein Shake.< /p>

2.5 hours after that I'll have dinner which is about 3-5 oz of protein, 1/2-1 cup of steamed vegies and 1/4-1/2 cup of carbs (potatoes, rice, Pasta, bread, etc.)

2.5 hours after that I'll have another protein shake.< /p>

In between I drink my Water. I'm never hungry and I never crave. Mainly because I'm not eating a lot of carbs and I'm putting protein in my system every 3 hours.

I put 1/4- 1/2 or 1/2-1 cup as a range because some days I'm tighter than others. For example, yesterday (a day after my last fill), I only had a bacon and egg for Breakfast, my normal Protein shakes through the day, a few pieces of shrimp with steamed vegies for lunch and 4 chicken wings for dinner. I don't mean 4 whole wings. I cut the wing tips off and then split the drummie from the other part. I ate 4 of the pieces that have the two bones in them (don't know what you call them). After eating the 4 wings, and we know how little is on them, I just didn't have room for anything more.

I strongly reccomend lots and lots of Water. Also adding a small amount of fat might help if your not getting much. It will make the meal last longer. Salmon is a great choice. I also eat flavored chicken sausage. Make sure you get your veggies- they can really help fill you up.

I was in the same boat waiting for a fill to make a difference. My second one did. Hang in there! The band will work eventually.

Join Weight Watchers. I've lost my weight going to their meetings- 3 fills and waiting for restriction. They emphasize Portion Control and can help you.
