I love fruit and I use to eat fruit for Snacks, especially in the summer. On Friday I will be 8 wks post op and have only slight restriction. I tried a banana yesterday for mid-morning snack, around 9:30 (I eat Breakfast at 5:30), but an hour later I was starving, I had a Fiber one 90 cal brownie so I ate that which curbed the hunger and I made it to lunch at 12:30.

Is fruit just slider and to be avoided? I try to avoid slider foods because I know they are non filling calories, but I do hate to lose my fruit.

What have your experieces with fruit been?

What exactly is the "green zone"?

To me the green zone is a period of time in which you are satisfied with your three healthy meals and two small snacks' date=' your Water intake. You are following good rules and you are not hungry in between meals. At the same time you are losing weight steadily without so much hunger. This is the only way I can describe my green zone. It's not necessarily about restriction as it is about satisfaction throughout your day with less calories.

Thank you 2muchfun for sharing the video,

I have no problems eating fruits, peaches, strawberries, mangos, I had 1 incident with bananas, it got sock, and I haven't try again since then, but I think it's all about bite size.

Enjoy fruits..

Skyvic, you are right on That is a great description and probably the best one that I have heard of the"green" zone. It is not about restriction; it is about your 3 meals and satisfaction and loosing weight, and not getting sick! Thanks , Karen
