karina33 23 Posted May 27, 2014 Do you really truly begin to lose the weight after u find the green zone? or should you be losing even before this happens.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted May 27, 2014 You lose fat when you consume fewer calories than you burn. There are dozens if not hundreds of people who find the green zone but don't lose fat because they can't control their cravings/bingeing. Most of us lose some weight shortly after surgery. This 10-20 lbs is mostly Water weight. Just having the band usually helps most of us eat smaller meals but not small enough to lose fat. After 1-5 fills most of us feel the restriction and many lose lbs but much of it is pure willpower and following the rules. If you reach the green zone and follow the rules you should lose 1-2 lbs a week.jmo tmf 2 karina33 and Karad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
