The feel of the "Green Zone" ?



Recommended Posts

Does the green zone have a feel? Remember the feeling right after surgery; the swelling made me NOT have a appetite, do you have that same feeling of what I call pressure or tightness. As my third adjustment is near I'm hoping to know what may be in the near future.

Speaking for myself...the green zone has taken away my appetite all together....I just do not feel the desire to eat, or have an interest in food....

The best way it was explained to me is that the band is telling my brain that I am full - satisfied..even though physically I do not feel full...but it is entirely mental....thus there is not the desire to continue eating....my brain is telling me I have no need to.

It's like thanksgiving dinner where you cannot possibly eat one more thing....but physically I do not feel it...just mental.

I have never felt that "Full" feeling that others describe....

Everyone will have their own experiences to share with being in the Green Zone.

For me it has not been a constant "fullness" I still get hungry on occasion but it is a true tummy rumbling physical hunger and I find it takes very very little to feel satisfied. I go days feeling like I'm too tight and eat very little other days I am able to eat more. I have a Protein Shake in the morning and then a very small lunch and dinner. I find that I just don't think about food the way I used to.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
