Feeling Discouraged

[dreamers 27]

Hi guys!

I'm not banded yet, so all this is fascinating and scary/exciting!

Post op liquid and mushi stages aside, I've noticed a lot of people say that no matter what stage you are in fills that you should eat the 1 cup max of the right foods, drink your Water and get some exercise.... so in theory, whether you have no fills or 5 fills, you should lose at the same rate if you follow these rules? The difference with the fills being that when you are searching for the green zone, you no longer feel hungry with your portion... is that right?

I see why it is so important to eat the right amount and right food, cos you need to monitor how hungry you are getting between meals so when you do get more fills, you can identify when the band is at good restriction.

Thanks

Dreamer, you assume correctly. However, before the green zone you will spend some time in Bandster Hell where you seem to be hungrier than pre surgery. We have one forum member who's slogan is: Until there's restriction, it's just another diet.

So, for most of us, it was still a diet for the first several months. You may be one of the lucky ones?
