Could this be what people call the green zone



Recommended Posts

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.

It definitely sounds like it to me...... Thought I was there twice before, but after a few weeks, the amount of food I could eat increased. Slight fraction of a fill last office visit , and I think I'm green too. Best Wishes!

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
