Delayed fill effect?

CynthiaMcC · 05-21-2008, 09:05 AM

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!

My third fill took 2 weeks to kick in. I had it done Dec 18, 2007 and it's still working. Good Luck!!!

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.
