There is a way to eat with the band that will maximize weight loss.  Knowing what to eat is one part of it, learning how to eat is another. Ever since you threw that first bowel of  Cheerios at mom you have known how to eat.  But with the band you may need to re-learn how to eat. When it comes to eating we want you to think: slow, small, and easy.

The typical "guy" eats food this way: no or minimal breakfast, no or minimal lunch, some afternoon grazing, and shoveling in 2000-3000 calories at night.  Chomp, chomp, swallow. Many of my patients, before surgery, describe that they will go all day without eating then go home and mindlessly shovel in 2000 to 3000 calories  in front of the television. That won't work with the band. This is not an easy concept to put into practice -- but practice is what it takes.  The band is designed to have two to three small meals and a snack -- it is not designed to have less at dinner.  

So the two concepts to learn are:

(a) you will need to change from eating a single large volume meal to eating several times with small volumes 

(b) when you eat -- again, slow, small, and easy.
