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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
