Maybe quantity was too much? I find that I don't have bathroom issues if I eat just a teeny tiny bit at one meal. I also noticed that if I start to burp that signals me to stop. Also important to separate water from meals and only sip it. Just sharing what seems to be (finally) working for me. Sleeve surgery was Aug 15.

I keep seeing Ricotta bake mentioned often in posts but haven't been able to find the actual recipe. Can you help?

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.

I like the Baritastic app. It's simple and geared toward Bariatric patients.

I am only on the third day of my two week PRE-op diet and have also been in tears about missing food.

August 15 for me too

Consider this your reminder! [emoji4]

When is your surgery? Mine is August 15. I start my two week pre-op diet on the 1st and I just don't know if I'm ready for this.
