That is how it has been for me for over 2 years now....people say they are not hungry only between meals....I am not hungry at all, 24/7...the band is there 24/7, so why would it only work sometime??? I need to remind myself, and sometimes force myself to get a good meal in....I have gone full 24 hr. periods without eating, if I am busy at work for instance, and get home too late to eat anything.....

Not only have I lost all interest in food, my tatstes for foods have also changed...things just don't tase that appealing anymore....

I must wait since I am going on vacation out of the country.

When I get home I am going back. I get depressed sometimes.

I'm out just over 4 years and have yet to hit my green zone. I have a 12cc realize band w about 8.6cc in it. What about you? Any advice? So frustrating.

I gather that not everyone gets the complete loss of hunger at the green zone, so I am careful about saying that it's what people should look for. But for me, being in the green zone does mean zero hunger. I can go all day without eating, and end up shaking up the end of the day from the lack of food. I had to set my alarm to remind myself to eat.

I am no longer in the green zone but that's my choice (I'm trying to be in maintenance but still losing slowly), so I'm closer to the other 'ideal' of not being hungry between meals. That's a good place to be too!

[lellow 1,713]

It took me 3-4 years to feel like I am in the green zone. Sometimes I am hungry between meals but I think my metabolism is on track and I burn more calories. Which it doesnt bother me because I make good snack choices and like the fact I can eat a little bit more. For the first 2 years of my band, I had a rough time eating meals so I appreciate finally being where I am. Sometimes I feel like I can use a little fill because I can finish a full meal but then think about how much I am enjoying being able to eat anything I want and decided not to get a fill. What I mean by eat a full meal is still a small plate with 1 Protein & 1 veggie side.

Enjoy the green zone!!! It took a long time to get here!

I actually lost from the beginning because I stuck to band sized portions. It was hard but I figured I only had to keep it up until the band kicked in, and lo and behold, I ended up losing most of my weight before it actually started working!

But yeah, 60lbs in 6 weeks, wt? Lol! I did do a lot of educating of my family and friends and said it would take a long time for me to lose the weight. I think by saying that, and explaining that the band wasn't working yet, most were surprised when they saw me losing anyway. Though the first time I ever got stuck (at 6.5cc) was at a family party and THEN they knew the band was working. Me jumping around like I was doing a rain dance, then throwing up what I had just eaten, was a bit of a wake up call for them AND me!
