Could this be what people call the green zone

I had my 3rd fill on Monday and I am only able to eat a very small portion of food and I'm satisfied. I'm hoping this is permanent, I'm hoping this is my sweet spot.

    THAT'S GREAT! Are you satisfied for 3-4 hours?? Do you wake up WITHOUT hunger? These are also things that will tell you if you're on your sweet spot.

Hottbutterfly I'm staying satisfied atleast five hours between meals and I am hungry when I wake up my last meal is between 7-8pm, the only down side is I'm only drinking about 64oz of water and that's with making myself drink

Not looking for food or having to finish whatever it is I have are both signs for me -- my surgeon describes being satisfied with a tennis-ball sized portion for 4-5 hours. The portion part was there for me in the early days but not the duration. After a fill sometimes I don't feel different for five days or so then it settles in and I feel it. This last time I wondered if I was too tight so I've been monitoring carefully -- can I chew up and swallow that swordfish without a problem, chicken still okay, etc. I want to be sure I can still have dense protein. But I can't forget and eat fast, that's for sure.
