Well I don't know where you are with your journey, but if you look at the definition of "Green Zone" you will see that it will take care of hunger.

I can tell you from first hand experience my whole outlook,tastes and need for food has changed

Yes, because yaya77nc, because unfortunately the band can only stop physical hunger not "head hunger". In other words it won't take away the cravings and desire that have nothing to do with being hungry,

Hang in there. I find if I can just grit my teeth and resist for awhile that urge eventually passes. I'm lucky to be in the infamous "green zone", so if I do have a moment of weakness I thankfully can't do much damage because I'm likely already full from my last meal.

Personally I find meditation helps me coup with the days I have terrible cravings. In my mind it is mind over matter, so I guess once you can control your cravings you will stop having cravings.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
