FRUSTRATED

Well I am 3.5 months out and for the last month have been on a major plataeu. Keep losing/gaining the same 2-3 pounds. Plus my hair is getting real thin on top, thinner then it was which apparently is common with all weight loss surgery. Nothing much else to report. I do have some restriction and eating what I am suppose along with exercising. So hopefully this plateau will go away soon.

My boy Dale Jr is doing great thus far this season.
