So I was thinking of before and after surgery. I was banded on 4-26-11, so I have had 1 fill, and have lossed ten pounds. But eating is the most difficult thing for me, I guess i like the feeling of being full. So does anyone think , if they had someone come out to there house and cleaned out what you can eat and what u cant. maybe teach u about portions on ur own plates. or even help with a excerising program would that u think might help.. please reply thanks you

What has always helped me is using a smaller plate. If you put a small amount of food on a dinner plate it looks empty giving the impression of not being enough food. Put the same amount on a salad plate or saucer and it looks like more. I have also found that if the plate is ugly I don't want to spend as much time looking at it so I put the Fiesta-ware away and bought a package of 6" Dixie Ultra paper plates. (Saves on doing dishes too!) Sometimes to force myself to take smaller bites, I eat with a pickle fork.

Thanks love the Dixie plate and pickle fork idea
