Fill Number 5

[cmoody821 44]

This is a question for those of you in your green zone.

I received fill number 5 today. I am now at 6.1cc in a 10cc band. Was it like an "ahh ha" moment when you reached the green zone? I know it is only the first day since my latest fill but it feels like it made a huge difference!

Just curious if it is my brain playing tricks on me or could the green zone be possible???

I have 6.5 in my 11 cc band. It wasn't an 'ah-ha' per se. It was a few days after the fill when I was ready to eat dinner and realized my 1 cup of food for lunch had kept me full until dinner time. It was a 'ah sweet!!' moment then!

Fill number 4.... not sure why i got ahead of myself and said 5.

No ah-ha here. I just realized that I was able to manage my daily food intake.

I did sort of have the "Ah Ha" moment; I had several fills (took 6 months) to get to green zone; I don't have hunger as often and I can eat 1 cup at meal time and fill satisified

I have a 14cc band and had it placed on 6/25/12. My surgeon filled 4cc the day of surgery and am up to 7cc at this point. I have to say I still have days when I feel like I could eat more way more than I know I should. Hope I get to the point of actually feeling full and satisfied here soon!

Well it is now three days after my last fill and it has slacked off a little. I guess is was just a little bit of swelling from the fill that made me feel the restriction! Hopefully next time it will be back to where I was a few days ago.

for me it has been several ahaha moments. I was told by my doctor its normal cause your band loosens as you lose fat around the stomach.

Can aomeone help me I has knee surgery so I couldn't work out at all and now I'm filled with 7cc band out of 11cc and I'm still with very little restriction

Yes it was for me this week...ah ha...I can only put about 1/4 in my stomach now, and if I follow those rules we have learned, it won't stick and I'm full. Now I just need to concentrate on staying hydrated because I don't really ever feel hungry. I have lost 9 pounds since October 15 which is way crazy but it was the adjustment I needed to get me off plateau. Granted I'm a little more restricted than I prefer but I am getting solids down as long as I slow eat, chew a lot, and take small bites...so important now than ever. I bought a pair of used Lucky jeans for 16.00 and the size 12 are loose!!!! I would have never believed I would go below that!!!! I would have been satisfied with size 16 when I first got my band. Reach for the stars!!!
