Need help refocusing, lost my dad mid October and kind of lost motivation, I'm a little over a year post surgery. What are some of your strategies for getting back on track and refocusing?

Sorry for your loss.

Motivation.
You know what you need to do. Just do it.
Does it suck. Sure.
Do you want to go back to being as big as you were before? Probably not.

A good way, if you are having issues getting back on track. Is to just start over.
Start with your pre-op diet and work through it as if you were just starting out. Then follow the post op diet the same way you did before, working right back through each of the steps until you completed them all. When in doubt, start over.

I'm sure your dad would want you to continue to be successful. If you need any motivation, and aren't going to keep going for yourself. Do it for him.

You got this!

Go to therapy. it's what it's there for. Get a little help with grief and dealing with your feelings about falling off the diet wagon so to speak. It can't hurt, and it might help a lot. Best wishes.

Very sound advice. Most insurance plans offer a mental health component as far as coverage goes. Use every tool at your disposal for your successful new health.

Not doing what's popular just doing what's Right.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
