2nd fill question



Recommended Posts

I am confused... some of you might say... what's new? LOL! ANyway, I had my second fill about the 14th of August and I have pretty much felt like I could eat whatever I wanted, but I have been careful not to over do it. OK, so I wake up this morning, eat my Breakfast and not long after its down I am in the bathroom at the sink wishing I could throw up, just alot of saliva and then I guess about 5 minutes, maybe more passes and I am fine. Went to lunch with my sister, same thing. Is this normal, does it sometimes take that long for a "FILL" to become noticable? I have another fill scheduled for Sept. 11th. Has anyone else had this happen? :)

That hasn't happened to me, as both of my fills took effect pretty quick, especially my second one. However, I have read a lot on this board of people saying it took one to two weeks before their fills kicked in. Nobody really knows why that happens, but for some, it just does. Maybe you are one of them.

Thanks y'all, I will take your advice. I know I am eatting too fast and maybe a tad too much. Seems like I just get so excited when its time to eat...LOL! Old habits...I will break them!

Mine was like that. But, maybe I was just being more careful right afterwards. A couple of weeks later, I think I was just more comfortable with it and not paying as close attention.

Yep, yep, I too have forgotten about the band and drank to fast or ate to fast and its a quick reminder. I never, never assume that becuse I ate somthing today that I can eat it again tommorrow every meal, every drink is its own story. I am tighter then some folks would be comfortable with but I love it and I respect the limitations I also love that the limitations are physical. And since no two days, Heck no two hours are the same tolerance I get to be a investigator of my own body and my own needs. Some times I do go for the higher calorie food becuse I can eat the recomended portion size. And be full and stay within my alotted calorie intake for the day. So I wish you well and hope you can be flexable about your needs with each meal. Best of luck to you. Vickie

My fills kick in after 6-9 days. Both times I had a reaction I PB'd on allowed food, chewed carefully, was not eating fast, etc. It just him me, bam! I can't seem to recover from then either. I go on liquids immediately, but that doesn't save me. I've had to go for a slight unfill. I'm beginning to understand my banded body a little more each day. I still get hungry and have to watch my every move or bite.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
