AMEN to that! I fry my eggs in real butter, eat beef, use mayo and use full fat greek yogurt. It's much more satisfying. To go low carb and low fat is to invite your body to set off alarms of EAT! If one does low fat, you have to be willing to go high carb. If you're going to go low carb, you have to be willing to go high fat. It's biology 101!

I definitely have an appetite, but get filled up much quicker. Though I had much less appetite in the beginning than I do lately. I have cravings like Peps for specific things, like hummus for instance. But cravings for sweets are almost non-existent.

It helps a little with volume, but I can still finish what is in front of me, though I do have more self-control than before the medication. I can reason with myself that it's okay to stop. I do think being on the meds is better than not being on them, but at this point it's starting to feel like an eye test where you're never quite sure of the right answer: "is one better or two?" um...one? No, maybe two... I'm sure if I went off them completely I would definitely be able to see again that this feels better than without! But maybe I've gotten so used to being on it that I'm forgetting how bad it was before? I have medication privilege!

Sure sounds like you may need to rent some kids to entertain Kirby ;)

What a mess at work! My last year I also ended up in an environment I wouldn't have put up with if I had a choice but the I don't give a you-know-what attitude and good co-workers made it tolerable. And it made it really easy to leave and not miss it (though I missed the people).
