I have been wondering since getting banded what the Green Zone would feel like and today I realized that I may be knocking on the door. I was banded 4/20/12 and got my second fill on 8/9/12 for a total of 6cc's. Since I got the fill on Thursday I felt normal (felt light restriction since being banded) but today I have not been hungry and have pretty much had to force myself to eat. When I did eat, I could only eat close to a full cup before feeling like the desire was just gone. Since I have no valid experinece with the Green Zone (only what I have read here) I don't think I am quite there but I may be by my next fill in September. I want to Celebrate but not prematurely..I know the band is fickle. I know each individaul is different but after a fill, how long does it take for the fill to actually kick in?? Is there a standard?

I have hypothyroid as well, however my daughter is 18 and I am done. Wishing the rest of you ladies luck!!

Myshel I am not a vet but I do offer encouragement. Just by your post your guilt is punishment enough take that experience and move forward. Read through some of the post and you will find you are not even close to being alone there are a lot of people who fell but girl get up and stop felling sorry for yourself! When you know better you do better and no one is perfect. Forgive yourself and keep pushing forward because we have forgiven you already!!

Hi Tawan, I think a lot of people's numbers factor in the pre-op diet as well and are not just reflective of the post op loss so do not feel bad. Be proud for any loss because it means you are on your way. The glass must be half full (literally) so be positive. Also remember that each of us unless we went to the same dr all have varied instructions and plans to follow. My suggestion follow your dr's instructions, stay positive because your attitude will be a large part of your success!
