Green Zone already?



Recommended Posts

I just came from my Doctors office after my 3rd fill. I lost another 6 pounds in two weeks. I told him it seemed to easy. He asked me if I was hungry, I said no. He said I was in the green zone. But I am not just eating 1/2 cup of food, I am eating 3 oz of meat and vegatables. He told me as long as I am eating the Protein first that I should keep doing what I am doing. He did give me another cc of Fluid, bringing me up to 3.5 cc's in my 14 cc band. I don't have to go back to see him now unless I lose less than 4 pounds in 2 weeks, and feel like a need a fill. Onward to goal!!! :lol:

Took me 3 fills in 4 months from surgery...then another 2 months to get it in the "Groove" so to speak....

I have not had a fill since, that was 2 years ago....still in the Green Zone....Not hungry, Portion Control, cannot over eat...

Congrats on being in the green zone! I go in for my 3rd fill on Monday. I'm really hoping that I get in the green zone. I was doing good for a while but the past month or so has been a struggle for me. I'm finding myself being tempted more and more with the "bad" things. Some days I feel very satisfied and have no problem with the "tempting" foods, but other days I'm starving and it makes it so hard to stay on track. I'm 5 months out and was hoping to be a little further along than I am, but that's not to say that I'm not proud of what I have accomplished thus far, just wishing it was a little better :)

Keep up the good work!! I am still hunger but I am in a calorie counting and exercise groove so I am ok . I had my second fill 6/27 so hopefully this will help take some hunger edge off.

      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!
