When did yours "kick in"?



Recommended Posts

I know I should probably post this on the fill section but I am feeling like a rebel today.

I have heard severla people mention that their fills kicked several days or weeks later.

How long did yours take if it kicked in later?

I was filled to 2.0 last Thursday and I am still not feelings it. I can eat 2 small pieces of chicken and a wendy's side salad and still need/want more.

My restriction varies from week to week, some weeks I'm totally restricted - and I really feel like I have the band. Other weeks I can eat a mcdonalds happy meal without problem.

I'm still not kicked in. I went to the Dr last wednesday for a fill-up to 2.0cc now. He said I shouldn't need any more, but I feel absolutely no difference at all! I'm going back next week.

Mine varies also, but I never immediately felt it...It on average took about 8 days or so. All of my fills have been like that.

I've had two fills seem like they were nothing until about three weeks later. So I guess that's my time frame, three weeks.

I had 2.0cc on 9-21-05 I still don't fill anything. Going back on the 28th hope to get that sweet spot with this one.

      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.
