Way to go!!!

I am 4 weeks post op this week, I have not lost anything. I go for my first fill on the 6th. But I feel hungry and before you know it I am looking for something to eat, I feel like I am slipping backwards. The more hungry I get the less I pay attention to what and how I eat. Good news is I haven't gained anything either! Any advice on this? Can some one please explain the "green zone" to me?

Hi Michelle, I am fairly new to the band also, 3 weeks post op, and new to this site. Seems that there are a lot of people that are in the same place as us or have been ther already. I have not lost anything since surgery. But am told it is normal. Excited to get my first fill on 9/6. The only advice I can give you at the moment is to follow the book the best you can. When you get to regular food, chew, chew, chew and chew some more. Small bites. I have only had a problem once with food getting stuck. Thought I was going to DIE!! Once I vomited I felt much better. But it took a whild to get to that point. Just follow what they tell you. You will do great I'm sure.

Thanks Mama, I am a new bander as well. 3 weeks post op and was feeling the same way and really didn't know if it was normal or not, I did not lose anything in this 3rd week and was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. But I feel better now that I know I 'm right on target. I go for my 1st fill on 9/6. But I am very happy that I am already down 40 lbs since my journey began at the 1st of May:)
