Delayed fill effect?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed that they "feel" their fill a few days later?

I received my 3rd fill on Friday morning and followed the restricted diet, however, I noticed yesterday that I felt a lot tighter than I had the previous day(s). Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, drank some Water (which is very normal for me) and immediately felt "full," almost to the point of being stuck. Then this morning, I was rushed so just grabbed a Slimfast Optima and feel very full with it and have been sipping it for an hour.

With a long weekend coming up, I am concerned if this is a trend and am wondering if anyone has experienced this.

Thanks.

my fills typically take 3-7 days to kick in . They can take up to 2 weeks.

are you on solid foods yet ?Have you had any episodes of PBing ?

If you have i would suggest going on liquids for a few days to make sure your not swollen . If not then if YOUR Not comfortable then you might want to get a slight unfill.

That's exactly how it works for me every time I get a fill! Takes a couple of days to kick in and usually a few weeks to adjust!

Thanks, glad it is not in my head.

I have not PB'ed yet, but have been sticking to mushy food. I'll just be careful and hope to see the impact on the scale!

Be very careful keeping yourself this tight.

i know someone who did this early on , and pretty much lived on a soft diet and she now has a slip.

If your still tonight today i personally woudl go get an unfill.

Glad I saw this post... was telling boyfriend tonight that I had problems with my lunch today (ryvita cracker with sardines). I just had my first fill on Wednesday, and felt no restriction (haven't had any at all from first day of surgery). It took me by surprise today to get the pain of eating too fast, or too much. I guess I assumed I would feel no restriction until 2nd or 3rd fill. I am totally full on half the amount of food I was eating yesterday.

        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
