jennygirl37 47 Posted March 21, 2013 When you are in the green zone, do you feel ever feel full on your meal? Assuming you eat around 1 cup of food, does this give you a full feeling, a satisfied feeling or just nothing? Do you just eat the amount you are suppose to no matter how you are feeling? What if you eat too much, how are you feeling then? Do you get stuck when you eat too much or just feel bad? Thanks for your input, just trying to get a sense of things!

line-dancer 810 Posted March 22, 2013 I just feel satisfied after I eat my one cup but best part of the band for me is I don't think about food all the time. In fact I eat by the clock rather then by how I feel. If I eat to much I burp or get the hiccups or throw up which you never want to do. I have lost 63 lb in 6 ,mos so it works for me...hope it helps 1 jennygirl37 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted March 22, 2013 Satisfied is the goal. Full comes about 10-15 minutes later. 3 jennygirl37, ☠carolinagirl☠ and zinhaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
transforming jlaroux 78 Posted March 22, 2013 Juat eat til you are satisfied. Full is a miserable feeling. I gurgle, burp, and have pressure when I am full. 3 jennygirl37, ☠carolinagirl☠ and aeromech reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted March 22, 2013 Never felt full......just "Not Hungry", and cannot, do not want, to continue.....lack of interest in eating...... The band sends a signal to my brain that I am full, and I do not need to eat . Even though I am not full, nor feel full., and may not have eaten in hours.......it is just my brain getting the signal from the band.... Many people say they feel,full, some satisfied, many also say it only lasts between meals..... For me, it is 24/7.....the band is there 24/7, sending the signal to my brain 24/7, so I am not hungry, or at least my brain feels there is no need to eat, 24/7..... Sounds like I'm rambling, but there is no other way to explain it..... Ever stand staring into the fridge for. What seems forever, looking at all that food but can't find anything you want to eat? Well it is something like that for me....... I wandred around the grocery store the other day and could not decide on anything..... 5 jennygirl37, ItsANewDay, Sharpie and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had my first fill and then a little un-fill today. Its complicated getting to that zone you want to be in. One thing that I can tell for sure is that I crave nothing now! And I have not once eaten to the point I feel full. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and aeromech reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted March 22, 2013 it's a whole new world for me.. I used to never feel satisfied.. and full was when I was ready to explode.. now, I don't think about food 24/7 only when it's time to eat .. I am trying to only eat if I feel hungry.. hunger for me now is totally different.. I eat 3 meals and sometimes a snack . I try to stay at around 1000 calories a day.. I'm very happy and feel free from the stress of "dieting"... 3 jennygirl37, ☠carolinagirl☠ and aeromech reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
