I had never heard of a therapy light until after I posted. If they are not too expensive, I will give it a try. I didn't know that about the animals either. Thank you.

I have never heard of a therapy light so I haven't tried that. Thanks for that tip. I am trying to focus on being more positive and on staying connected to my friends and family.

Start charting write down your goals from the beginning. Why did you decide to have surgery, what did you want to accomplish.

10 years ago today I had RNY surgery my BW 326, SW 288 today weight 148. I had a regain of 38 lbs from COVID and hip replacement surgery and lack of mobility. I pulled the reins back and have lost 30 of the regain, 8 more to go. I thought alot about my initial goals that I set. I realized that I had to get serious if I chose to reroute my intestines. That thought always bring reality back.

It's not easy and everyone slips now and then, however you have the power to remember why you chose this path and you can get the motivation back.

Best of luck, you can do this

Topic: 10 years out
10 years ago today I made a life changing decision and underwent a weight loss surgery, RNY. Today 10 years later I am happy to update that I have maintained a weight loss of 178 pounds. After Covid and the lack of mobility due to a hip replacement surgery 1 year ago, I did have some regain weight. I have another 8 pounds to go to be at my goal weight. It hasn't been easy the past 10 years but it certainly was worth the efforts. Maintenance is by far harder then the initial weight loss. I am proof that it can be done and the commitment that it is possible to maintain the new lifestyle that was learned. Like Comment Share

As White Dove shared, seeing a therapist would be a good place to start. Also, attending a support group would be helpful.
