Green zone weight loss



Recommended Posts

Everyone s different, but it took me 4 fills to get to the green zone, but I still lost about the same amount each month, averaged about 1 lb to 1.5 a week. Dont compare, yourself to others, your body will do what it needs to as long as your getting your Protein in, lots of Water, exercise etc. Slow and steady wins the race !

It took me about 7 to 8 months and about 6 fills to get to the GREEN. I, too, lost all along the way. From as little as 3 pounds a month to as much as 9-10 pounds a month. I hit my first stall or plateau last doctor's visit. Those stalls SUCK, but it is what it is. Normally, that's when I would have thrown in the towel on another DIET, but now, I just keep on keeping on. The scale will move again, but I'm sure my weight loss is slowing down. Best Wishes to you. I don't think it is wise to compare yourself to others bc from what I read on this site, 100 people have 100 different answers and 100 different experiences.

It's varied. Earlier in my journey it was 6-9 lbs a month but now it's down to 4-6 lbs a month and I'm still 25 away from goal.

Thanks everyone! I'm about seven weeks post-surgery, and I've lost 30 pounds since beginning the pre-op diet. It averages to between 3 and 4 pounds a week, and I knew it would slow down, I just didn't know how much.

I had already lost most of my wt by the time I reached green. I get the impression that there are those on this board that believe they shouldn't stat losing til the hit green. Boy would I be behind if I had waited.

      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.
