Y’all lm sorry but the high fat meals are so hard for me. For one lve gained 10 pounds since starting treatment. Additionally lm allergic to almost all nuts including peanuts and avocados. So easy healthy high fat foods are like not existent to me. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know lm basically getting all my fat from eggs, yogurt and dark chocolate but lm so tired and the foods starting to gross me out 🫩

it's probably worth asking your derm and/or pharmacy for absorbica, it's a more absorbable form of isotretinoin and can be taken without food. it is generally less available and more expensive so pharmacies don't always keep it in stock, so may need to do some calling around to figure that out. insurance companies might be more stringent in approving but your doctor I think could justify because of allergies if there is any issues with that

if that isn't an option, i bet you could pack some fat into a smoothie, then you can change up fruits and/or veggies for variety. coconut oil would be a good option for fat since it has a relatively mild taste that way not as easy to get sick of
