I had to wait for 2weeks to shower because I had a drain tube which really stunk. And for solid foods it was 4 weeks.

7 days

I'am totally freaking out about my hair too. My hair is getting so thin specially on top of my head. I do take biotin 5000mcg once a day.

Thoughts and prayers are sent your way.

when I was at 6 weeks I was down 29.

No ng tube here.

I'am a type 1diabetic so I will always have my diabetes. I had my surgery April 30th and since my insulin levels have gone down about 85% and my A1C has gone from 8 to 7.I think you will do great and come off all your diabetic meds soon after your surgery. Good Luck!!

Good luck! Your going to do great.

This will be my 1st challenge and I'm so excited!! SW 235 CW 201 Goal 185 Drink 64oz Water exercise 4 days a week 30mins

I was aloud watermelon at 6weeks but only 1/8 cup which I still can't eat. I can only have a bite or two.

That sounds soooo good. And have watermelon and vitamin water in fridge and after being 95 degrees today,I think will hit the spot. Thanks

I get cimzia injections every two weeks for rheumatoid arthritis and I have been on prednisone for years. so my weight fluctuates alot by a few pounds specially after the injections so I try not to weigh myself for a few days after the injections so I don't get so disappointed even though I now it's just water weight.

I'am 9 weeks out and my sleeve does not like chicken or hamburger have tried several times but after one bite start to feel sick.

I eat late all time. I usually don't eat diner until 8/9 pm and it doesn't bother me. My doctors don't care they just want me to get my three meals in a day.

Does anyone know at what point you can add ab exercises? I'am 9 weeks out and I have heard you have to wait 6mths, but that seems like a long time.

I also did not know I had one until I woke up from surgery and they told me they repaired it. I still have lots of acid reflux problems but don't burp as much anymore.

I lost 23 first month.

This happened to me my first three weeks it was just horrible. Sometimes I didn't think I was going to make to the bathroom in time. But it does eventually pass. Make sure your drinking lots so you don't get dehydrated.

Thanks Miriam, That makes me feel so much better.

I hope you can fall asleep soon. I know my first few weeks home I was so exhausted I could barley stay awake during the day. It's a good idea that you talk to your pharmacist tomorrow alot of medicines can be really hard on the stomach.

I take vicodin in liquid. That helps me sleep but it is used more for pain. I take ambien to sleep but in pill form. I don't know how far out u are and if you can take pills yet? You might want to check with your dr.

I was told that the first few mths we have such a hard time getting are liquids in and caffeine just dehydrates us which is the last thing we need. I know some people that have to stay off caffeine forever.

My Drs say no caffeine until I am 3mths out. That is starting to get very hard caffeine free tastes like crap!!

How about string cheese,beef jerky,beef sticks,tuna packs just be carefull trying beef jerky for the first time it can be hard on some people.

I Also had a hernia repair and one of my lungs clasped on me too.So I was in some pretty bad pain the first few weeks. then when you have a hernia repair your body' been through alot more stress my dr has even said that your food restriction can be less for awhile from the hernia which in my case has been very true. But don't worrythings will get better.
