Do Your Fills Take Awhile To Kick In?



Recommended Posts

I was filled on Aug. 16, but it seems that I have only had good restriction in the last couple of days. Does this happen to anyone else?

First the swelling has to go down so it an take time to feel. You not feel total restriction after one fill you need a bunch.

I've had 3 fills and still have no restriction. I've read that it can take days or a couple of weeks. I keep hoping that I'll wake up one day and have it. I have 4.4 cc in an 11 cc band.

May need more fills as you go along. I've had times where I would fill like I was in green zone for just a couple weeks then get hungry again. I knew I needed another full but my appointment woyld not be for two or three weeks, which can be tough because you know you may struggle to lose. It's hard to wait, just concentrate on Protein and exercise until you can get in. The green zone will happen and you will know it when it does.

It always seemed that my fills would take a week or two before they would 'kick in'. It was so strange.

I haven't gotten my first fill yet but it seems like everyone is different.

      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.
