Default 1997 F150 hesitating while trying to accelerate

I have a 1997 F150 XLT with a 4.6 V8. It has 142,000 miles on it and is lightly used. Since I started driving it more I notice that when trying to go past 45 50 mph the rpms get high and the truck can hardly make it past 50. So far I have replaced spark plugs, plug wires and air filter. The only code it is throwing is a P0133 (oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 1.) If anyone could help me troubleshoot this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

As tech suggested in the other thread you accidentally posted, replace the oxygen sensor. If that doesn't work I'd have the catalytic converter checked out.
