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!

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

Juat eat til you are satisfied. Full is a miserable feeling. I gurgle, burp, and have pressure when I am full.

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.....

I sure hope I can get to the green zone like you are. 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.

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"...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
