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



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

      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'. ???

        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!
