How am I doing? It's a common question now a days. So here is an update. Lets start with my food. I would say I eat about 500-600 calories a day. Most all the calories come with as much protein as I can get. So a typical day starts with 20oz of a protein shake
( half nonfat milk, I hate the way the shakes tastes) and I can drink that in about an hour. At noon, I will have about 2oz of yogurt. ( that can take me up to an hour to eat.) For dinner, I've really enjoyed cream of wheat with splenda, or 1/2cup of cereal.
I keep a record of all of my food on SparkPeople its free and has all types of food or you can add your own if they don't have it. I love it.
So do I get hungry? Sorta. I get head hungry. I will smell something, or look at the clock and my mind will tell me that I am hungry. I still go to the fridge looking for food, and I know it just by habit. My stomach however never feels empty. And after I eat a small amount of food I get full.
I take 10 pills a day. 
4 calcium pills a day, 2 gallbladder pills ( so I don't get 1gallstones) 2 B-12 dots that melt in your mouth, 1 nexium so that I don't get ulcers in my new stomach. and a mulit- vitamin. I sorta cheat however on my multi- vitamin. I found that Viactiv 
makes a milk chocolate chewable vitamin. I love these things. Its a great way to get a chocolate craving and vitamins at the same time. ( I know that they make calcium chews too, but there are 2 types of calcium, carbonate and citrate. I can only take the citrate, and they don't make chewy citrate yet). As you can see with my Weight Loss Ticker I have lost about 35lbs since surgery. Some days I won't lose anything and then the next day I will lose 3-5lbs. I bought my first shirt in the "normal" women's section this week. It's still an XL but hey it still felt good. Thank you all for your support.
