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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
