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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
