You're not hungry for four or five hours. Then you can't eat but a little bit. It's a great feeling until you don't have it anymore. I had to have a 3 cc unfill this week and I didn't realize how great the green zone was until I wasn't in it anymore.

I had surgery June 13th and have 4.5cc's in my band and right now I get hungry about every 4 hrs depending on how much Protein I eat in each meal. I know this isn't the "green zone" right? Sometimes when I'm up at night like around 11:00 pm I get hungry and I have to eat deli sliced ham, like 2 or 3 slices or turkey. Tonight for dinner I had Subway, a 3" sub but could only eat 2" of it, yes I can still tolerate bread but chew it really well. I made sure it had plenty of turkey on it for Protein. Thanks for posting, I've always wondered what the green zone felt like too.

I got a fill on Mon. taking me to 6cc and I think I have found it finally. I don't feel tight, but three or four forks of chicken and I am done. Also, I have started the last two days with a Protein Drink just to test the waters, greek yogurt for lunch and them light dinner. NO HUNGER all day. I have to eat slower (mistake I've made in the past), but it is just great for now.

Last week I got a 2cc fill making it a total of 7cc's. Before that I could eat almost anything, as much as I wanted. Since the fill if I don't chew well things really hurt going down like they are stuck. I can't eat as much, and some things get stuck and really hurt. It puts the fear in me like in the beginning to watch everything I put in my mouth, and chew chew chew.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
