why do I need to weigh my food?

So I was wondering....my biggest problem isn't so much WHAT I eat't how MUCH of it I eat! I see alot of people on here (I'm kinda a lurker right now) talk about weighing and measuring their food. If I can eat 2 plates of pasta now, and after banding am only able to eat 1/2 cup without being sick, why do I need to weigh or measure it? I understand the protein, to be sure you're getting enough. Is it after you've lost some and/or between fills that you need to be so careful? I am in the process of doing all I need to do for lapband. It sure is a process, but I'm doing it one step at a time! I can't begin to tell you how much info and encouragemnet I get from this site!! Sorry this is so long!
