Is this the green zone ?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 months post op an d have just gotten my third fill. The restriction is crazy! I can't eat but a few bites of anything. Not even an entire banana. My question is: is this a normal fill or am I too tight? I have lost 4 pounds in a week since the fill.

You will know the green zone. If your asking, you are not in it. I feel really tight for a week though and then great. I only go every 3 months now. You have to get your calories in. If you can't do that then you may want a little taken out.

I think you may be right. I am a little tight. It's not a good feeling at all. I could only eat 3 1/2 grilled shrimp for supper and nothing else.

Only you, possibly with advice from your doctor, can know for sure. You don't mention any heartburn/reflux, etc, so I'd suggest maybe giving it several days before you decide, as long as you don't have any issues getting in all your fluids. As another poster said previously about this issue, It may be you just need to get on that CHEW, CHEW train. And really slow down with your eating. Everyone is different, but I need/want the band to provide help with Portion Control, and IT DOES do that for me...now. I HAVE to slow down and follow what I read long ago, small bites, and chew like crazy.

I am 4 months post op a and I just got my 2 md fill. I definitely feel it this time. I had two shrimp and I was done. It's kinda a nice feeling! My doctor also told me to eat 6 small meals a day instead of three. Good luck! I would wait and see. How you feel!

Daisy I'm also on the 6 small meals a day and it's not easy, these suckers are indeed small.

I do find it easier to do. 3oz chicken is one meal. Amazing.

Cup of food, 1/4 of that should be protein! That's not alot!! But I remember once someone once told me that I ate alot! They weren't trying to be mean but sometimes we need honestly brutal honesty!

Also do you remember years years ago a happy meal was a meal . A serving size of a French fry was a small fry! Our serving size has just gotten out of control.

Probably too full, but I couldn't eat an entire banana anyway or that would be all I ate. Get a little taken out.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
