I got my fourth fill yesterday and couldn't be happier . I'm now at 6.2ml and don't feel hungry yet . I have been on liquids since yesterday and plan on till tomorrow . Have I hit my green one yet ?

if you can go about 4 hours between meals and not feeling hungry....I would say you are in the greenzone! I hope you are!

I found that if I wasn't hungry at Breakfast time I would wait until I was, then my lunch and dinner would be at different times. Sometimes it is hard to get out of the thinking that it's noon time, I have to eat lunch!!

Hi my name is Becky and I am new to all of this, LOL! I have so many questions... first of all i was banded on Aug 7th, I have had no issues thank goodness, but I got really hunger (the day after my first visit post op) and dealt with it until I started soft foods this week. It has been going well but again am beginning to become hungry about 3 hrs after. I am dealing with it but sometimes am getting nauseated feeling. Any suggestions? I am really focusing on my Protein making sure I am getting it in. I see doc this week for another check up...could it be that I will need a fill soon? Also I did really well losing the first 2 wks...now it has stopped, maybe 1 pound if I am lucky. Is that pretty normal? Regardless I am in it for the longgggggg hall and am very excited about everything. Thanks for any comments I just am so new to this and have so many question.

I stick to liquids the first day of a fill and soft foods the day or 2 afterwards. Maybe you just ate the potatoes too fast. I still eat potatoes and never have a problem even if eating baked potato skin.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
