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:

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
