First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. I express my condolences.

Perhaps weight loss shouldn't be your focus right now. Before you embark on an attempt to lose this latest weight regain, maybe some some counseling sessions would be useful?

Without professional help, you can certainly lose the weight you've regained, but nothing will stop you from returning to the comfort of food when the next situational crisis happens, predisposing you to a yo-yo cycle of weight loss and regain.

Again, I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Im sorry for your loss as well[emoji171] and i agree with Introversion! I say go back to the basics before you knew how fast or slow you would be losing. Focus more on the lifestyle change and discipline and not so much the weightloss and you should be fine in due time[emoji171][emoji171][emoji171][emoji11][emoji11][emoji11]

I am so sorry for your lose. I am down 80lbs in one year and at 250lbs. I want to loose more. I got frustrated for a couple months didn't loose. I also had 2 weddings and we lost my nephew. I was eating what was served and gained a couple pounds. My dr asked how Protein Drinks I was having, I told her 1. I could never get up to two. She had me start drinking hr second at bed time, like a glass of Water. This helped me control late night hunger and got my hunger. It jump started loosing again. Once I felt better about that I felt like I could deal with the other stuff.

Jakebreak, what a horrible thing to happen to you. I don't know how it feels to lose a child and hope I never go through that and my children bury me instead. There is no doubt that weight loss falls to the wayside while you do the heard work of grieving. So sorry for the terrible loss. Have you tried talking to a dietitian to kickstart your weight loss back? As introversion suggested, some psychologist visits might help. Hope you start losing everyone weight again. Best of luck .

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
