Could It Really Be.... Dun Dun Dun... The Green Zone

SO in my band Ive got 3 cc's, in an 8 cc band. My second fill was in April and since then I hardly eat anything, and im never ever ever even the slightest bit hungry unless I start thinking about food. I dunno it could be the green zone?

Also a few questions.

Im 5 months out and it seemed before this last fill I could get in 1200 calories now im barely hitting 800, is that normal? Im just not hungry and if i try to force myself to eat i get sick.

any thoughts?

Sounds like it could be. It's different for all of us. Are you saying that 800 calories a day is all your band will allow through or all your head wants you to eat?

no, its the band. I try to eat more to make sure im getting enough caloires but it doesnt sit well and sometimes doesnt sit at all * if you know what i mean*

Oh, I do know. I've thought about having .25 CCs removed since I can't eat a lot of food(except for slider foods). If you're afraid you're not getting enough nutrition, you might want to slip in some healthy slider food or get a small unfill?

I have experienced similar. Ever since my last fill 2 weeks, I am lucky to get in 900 calories a day. I was eating 1100-1200 a day. It's not like I'm trying to cut calories, and I can still eat anything I want, I just find I'm full very quickly so simply can't get in all the calories I used to anymore.

Im with you on this one. I just had my 6th fill 3 days ago, last night was my 1st solid food since then. i had a little pasta with a little homemade sauce, and this am i had a hard boiled egg and 2 chicken meatballs. im comfortably full. I am so hoping ive hit the green zone. it would be nice to not always think about food, and then i could get the dang scale to move ! So how do we get enough healthy foods in ? Advice ? thanks !

I try to eat only healthy foods I guess. I eat alot of chicken and veggies. Not a lot at a time though because i cant. Just try and eat the chicken first and whatever else next. That what I do. Still dont feel like im eating enough though. it kinda sucks. lol

Are you eating 3 oz of protein every meal? Are you also able to eat at least 1/2 cup veggies? If you can't do these things you are probably too tight. If you can eat a balanced diet on the 800 cals you are probably fine.
