When you are in the green zone, do you feel ever feel full on your meal? Assuming you eat around 1 cup of food, does this give you a full feeling, a satisfied feeling or just nothing? Do you just eat the amount you are suppose to no matter how you are feeling? What if you eat too much, how are you feeling then? Do you get stuck when you eat too much or just feel bad? Thanks for your input, just trying to get a sense of things!

I just feel satisfied after I eat my one cup but best part of the band for me is I don't think about food all the time. In fact I eat by the clock rather then by how I feel. If I eat to much I burp or get the hiccups or throw up which you never want to do. I have lost 63 lb in 6 ,mos so it works for me...hope it helps

Juat eat til you are satisfied. Full is a miserable feeling. I gurgle, burp, and have pressure when I am full.

Never felt full......just "Not Hungry", and cannot, do not want, to continue.....lack of interest in eating......

The band sends a signal to my brain that I am full, and I do not need to eat . Even though I am not full, nor feel full., and may not have eaten in hours.......it is just my brain getting the signal from the band....

Many people say they feel,full, some satisfied, many also say it only lasts between meals.....

For me, it is 24/7.....the band is there 24/7, sending the signal to my brain 24/7, so I am not hungry, or at least my brain feels there is no need to eat, 24/7.....

Sounds like I'm rambling, but there is no other way to explain it.....

Ever stand staring into the fridge for. What seems forever, looking at all that food but can't find anything you want to eat? Well it is something like that for me.......

I wandred around the grocery store the other day and could not decide on anything.....

I sure hope I can get to the green zone like you are. I had my first fill and then a little un-fill today. Its complicated getting to that zone you want to be in. One thing that I can tell for sure is that I crave nothing now! And I have not once eaten to the point I feel full.

it's a whole new world for me.. I used to never feel satisfied.. and full was when I was ready to explode.. now, I don't think about food 24/7 only when it's time to eat .. I am trying to only eat if I feel hungry.. hunger for me now is totally different.. I eat 3 meals and sometimes a snack . I try to stay at around 1000 calories a day.. I'm very happy and feel free from the stress of "dieting"...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
