Green Zone Update

Here is my update:

I just left my fill appt and returned with no fill. I explained that I recognize the restriction but I rarely feel satified. My doctor's office does fills under flurocoscopy (or however you spell it) so they can see a person's restriction. They loved my restriction on the xray, they loved my weight loss success thus far. The NP was afraid that even a tiny fill would put me into the red. I told her I felt like I was on the low end of green so she scheduled me to come back in two weeks. A few reminders that she gave me were more water, more protein (lots more protein than my journal indicated) less corn, carrots , sweet peas, and potatoes. I thought I was doing good in the veggies but apparantly they want more green veggies. They gave me some interesting printouts that stated some other suggestions including a jumpstart plan that looks like the pre-op diet. I'll type them up if you'd like.

So now I have my answer and now I know what to do to step up my loss. I guess I'm at my sweet spot.......for now....oh yeah....

the NP thinks the lack of satiety is in my head.

Thank you for the update! I'm sorry you had to pay to get that, but you did get really good information. I think I'm like you -- probably closer to green than my head says I am -- and just not really "eating" right.

Good luck to you :-). Go Green!!!!!
