Knocking On Green's Door

[Babiecaykes 3]

I have been wondering since getting banded what the Green Zone would feel like and today I realized that I may be knocking on the door. I was banded 4/20/12 and got my second fill on 8/9/12 for a total of 6cc's. Since I got the fill on Thursday I felt normal (felt light restriction since being banded) but today I have not been hungry and have pretty much had to force myself to eat. When I did eat, I could only eat close to a full cup before feeling like the desire was just gone. Since I have no valid experinece with the Green Zone (only what I have read here) I don't think I am quite there but I may be by my next fill in September.

I want to Celebrate but not prematurely..I know the band is fickle. I know each individaul is different but after a fill, how long does it take for the fill to actually kick in?? Is there a standard?

I got my second fill 8/8/12 which put me at 5ccs in an 11cc band. The first two days I have to be on liquids then I can eat solids again. I definitely felt a difference after this adjustment. I cant say I'm in the "green zone" but I feel as though I'm close.

I hope you are in that magic place and that is last very long for you. Best wishes.

This is going to sound stupid but I am new here and I am not banded yet but what is the green zone

It's when your skin starts turning green from all the vegetables you have to eat everyday

It's actually when after a few fills you finally get the right restriction for you, where you don't feel hungry and can sustain a desired weight loss without starving.

I'm hoping I get there soon myself.

I CAN'T WAIT to get there!

And I hope that's what my green zone feels like !!
