When You Hit Green Zone, You'll Know It

  • Popular Post

I kept wondering, "am I in green zone", is this it yet" "how will I know". Then I had my third fill.....(first took me to 2cc, 2nd fill took me to 5 cc, third fill took me to 5.6 cc). At 5cc, I found it. I dont have to wonder what green zone it. I literally realized at 12:30 today that I hadnt eaten anything all day....still wasnt even that hungry. I ate 1/2 cup and was fine. I was able to walk past a try of chocolate and donuts and not even struggle. The hunger and thought of food just disappeared. It is so wonderful. I finally am not doubting this band. If it stays like this, I will drop all of this weight b/c it is so nice to remove the hunger and food obsession. What a blessing.

If you have to ask if you are in the green zone, I would argue that you are not. At least that is my experience so far!

Ok ...I agree with the guy up top, I though I was there, it took a little longer than 4 weeks but I slowly started to get hungry ...but I have a 10cc band and I have about 6.5 cc in it now ......I thought that I would be there now, but im not (almost there but not quite)...Is there anybody else out there that has gotten close to the max and HAVE NOT reached thier green zone

Here's a stumper. I had my last fill in February and thought I was in the green zone until I got gastro in May. Since then I've been very tight and I now understand why the nurse at my clinic always reminds me to take pinky nail sized bites and chew chew chew. For the first time since surgery I don't think of food AT ALL. I'm amazed how I just eat a few bites and I'm satisfied. Its great and the weight is falling off fast again. :D
