OMG these have been my favorite for several years. But they're dangerous for me because I love them way too much. I am 10 days post-sleeve surgery right now so hopefully when I get to the stage where I'm allowed to eat them I can do a much better job of controlling myself than I used to.

I would venture to guess that the meds are indeed playing into this. I suggest asking your psych about switching to a different med. I have been on mood stabilizers and antidepressants for over 20 years and in those first few years I gained 100 lbs! Years later I learned that weight gain is a very common side effect of taking depakote which is what I was taking at the time. In all these years I have never been able to lose that initial 100 lbs which is what eventually led me to having sleeve surgery 8/15. I'm still bitter over it. I've been on lamictal and Zoloft for several years now without any additional weight gain from it - just weight gain from poor eating habits etc. I encourage you to talk with your Dr. This weight loss surgery journey is tough enough on its own but combined with mental health management it really is a lot to deal with. Wishing you the best.

Aug 15 surgery for me too. What pre-op diet did your Dr give you? From what I read on this site the diets vary among Drs. Mine is too have

Hi guys! I’m scheduled for August 15th! Started my preop diet yesterday!

I’m curious what others on this site use to help them keep up with their activity, eating, progress, etc., after WLS. What apps do you use most? Any devices that you now swear by? Favorite kitchen or gym gadgets?

I am in the same boat- food addiction. I’m 2 weeks post op and now in tears daily because I miss food and worry about never eating tasty food again. It’s a serious and difficult addiction.

August 15 for me too

I am scheduled for August 15th!

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the Protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

I am in Renton, but I go to a meeting on the first Wednesday of the month and one on the third Friday of the month at UW at Roosevelt. Wednesday is for pre and post surgery and Friday is for post surgery.
