Returning to work

[Charisma 10]

@"Charisma", I am hoping to lose about 110 lbs, so we are right in the same ballpark with our weight loss goals. I lost 7 lbs in the first week post op, and 11 lbs during the one week liquid pre-op. In this second week post op, I only lost 3 lbs, but I am not complaining. Doing god so far.

So I am still a bit worried because I can eat 5.4 oz pkg of Greek Yogurt and 1/4c cream of wheat Cereal which was my dinner tonight. Do you hit like a hard stop when you try to eat too much? I really am trying to be aware of one but not really getting that full feeling at all.

@@vegas_mimi I didn't read the other responses but I had surgery on a Tuesday and was back at work the following Monday. My surgeon doesn't approve for more than 2 weeks out of work. He wants you up and going as soon as you can because he said it helps you heal faster. I didn't have any issues - so I was fine but I do have a desk job.

@@Charisma - I saw your greek yogurt post. I will say that I can easily eat 5-6oz of yogurt (5 months post-op) but if I eat 3-4oz of chicken I am totally stuffed - like I know my limit stuffed. You will get to that full feeling but for me - yogurt never made me feel FULL. I hope that makes sense.
