My surgery date was  7/30/14
By January I had lost 100 pounds (5 months)
Since then I've only lost 22 pounds. 

I think I've made a few posts about being frustrated in the last couple months already so this is more of a rant.  

I feel very full right now.  I just ate 5 (baked) chicken wings.  I didn't weigh them for ounces because obviously I wouldn't get an accurate number with the bone and who peels off all the chicken from wings prior to eating them? Lame excuse, I know, b
