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.
