I wanted to share this with all of you. Maybe it will help someone.

I'm definitely in the yellow zone at the moment. I have 2.5 (maybe 2.7 cant remember) mls in my 4ml band.

I am definitely in the yellow zone! Is there a paler yellow, lol, if so I am there?

I am definetly in the yellow, and I havent been banded very long. For the last two days I cant get full. Im eating more than I should. Is it too early to get a fill? I go back to the doctor for my checkup Friday, will he do a fill after 5 weeks?

I'm a little scared!! Maybe, a lot scared.....:cry :cry

I'm in the yellow zone too, unfortunately. I had my first fill six weeks ago (4.5 cc in a 10 cc band). I haven't lost any weight in about three to four weeks. I'm going in for my next fill tomorrow. Hopefully, things will get better.

Wow--I am mostly in the green zone....I have good restriction. Lately I have had a couple of red days!! I have occasional reflux...I never have been told to decrease my fluid intake...in fact I am in a monthly challenge to get enough fluid in each day. Sometimes all this conflicting information just makes me feel like I am losing my mind!!! If I have another bout of reflux, I might have to try cutting back on my water I guess. Thanks!

I'm guessing that when the table refers to fluid, it means fluid in the band???

:doh: Oh Stagger lee---good thing I have y'all to think for me....I could be dangerous!!! Makes perfect sense!!! No excuse...just a brain fart I suppose...I just went with the first thing that entered my mind when I read fluid!!! Thanks for the help...I need all I can get!!!

I'm absolutely in the yellow zone, eating way to much and trying to stop but struggling. I still feel hungry alot. I haven't achieved that satiated feeling yet.

And I went for a fill in Sept and my dr refused to give me one because I had lost greater that 2 lbs per month. He says that my goal is 1/2 to 1 lbs per week, and he won't give me another fill til I go 4 weeks without wt loss.

So far, my wt loss is about 2.5 lbs per month.

I guess that's good, I'm trending down.

By far my greatest weight loss times have been post fill liquid diet weeks.

It doesn't seem normal to me, but my doctor and his staff keep telling me I'm doing ok.

Missy, I've lost slowly like that and over a year it REALLY adds up. Its healthy and lasting weight loss and you dont lose your hair and your skin doesnt end up hanging off you either. Its great progress!

I havent lost for about 6 weeks at all otherwise I wouldnt be phased by being in the yellow zone in the slightest. But I obviously need way less calories now than I used to to lose weight and I cant seem to keep up the discipline to actually diet, so its time for a fill I think.

what a great chart. I've considered a fill recently but I'm not sure. I've mad other lifestyle changes and I want to wait now. I think I'm all green area but in the recent past I was cheating a lot.

Heavy sugared alchohol drinks and drinking with meals was a habbit. I need to level out and see if the wait loss returns. 90 days I've not drank anything but the drinking with meals could stand some improvement.

I'm in the green zone and have been for over a year. I am so fortunate.

That's a great chart. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I am mostly in the green zone but I do have the occasional yellow zone day where I am compelled to munch all day.

Yea Green!!! Should we call ourself munchkins from the land of Oz? I love being green, In more ways than one, ie environmental, a Kermit lover would say its easy being green!

Oh maybe we should call ourselves nonmunchkins?

Green is in the yellow zone. Maybe my band is leaking or something? I have 5 cc in a 10 cc band.

:bump:

Good info!
