This may sound crazy to some but....I have tryed brussel sprouts again today for lunch a small piece of fish and 2 sprouts...well i could only get half my meal eattin befor i felt the OMGOODNESS feeling starting.....so I stopped eatting and I did ok.......so my question is this...if i have one sprout with every meal (knowing its gonna give me that STOP feeling) is that ok...till I get to my green zone...or is tht just asking for more problems....thanks

God bless you....

hi sky...a green zone is where your band is filled just the right amount that you dont feel hungry all the time and your meals are small...not the servings were all use to eatting..... and a stuck issue is when you have eattin to much...or not chewed enough ....the food gets stuck...and after one time...you will wanna stop and be sure your chewing good......it hurts !!!!

i have only had 3 stucks issues so far...the lil brussel spouts ... chicken ...and last night i felt the green zone half way through my dinner...i stopped eatting right away and i finished it about 2 hrs later.....so Im learning !

Wow I have felt no restriction since I got my band...I have read everything I can get my hands on about being stuck..and PB ..so I was sure I would be able to handle it when I would ever have one....tonight eatting a piece of fish and some brussel sprouts...WOW..I though I was going to pass out it hurt so bad...till you feel one..is all I can say.it lasted about 40 mins...chew chew chew...
