Full written recipe and tips are on my blog here:

Bariatric gelatin recipe for weight loss – this is the simple “gelatin trick” you can use as a pre-meal ritual to feel fuller and control portions without crazy diets. In this video, I show you how to make an easy 3-ingredient bariatric-friendly gelatin, how to use it 15–30 minutes before meals, and what you need to know if you’ve had bariatric surgery.

This is NOT a magic fat burner, but a low-calorie habit that can help with appetite control when you’re already working on your food choices and lifestyle. Always check with your doctor or dietitian if you’ve had bariatric surgery.

Save this video, try the recipe, and tell me in the comments if you want the pink gelatin or Dr Ashton-style version next!

“Based preloads can be a practical tool for bariatric patients who struggle with portion control,” says Sean Thompson, a Northampton-based dietitian with a 4.99-star rating across 385+ reviews. “But I always tell clients: the foundation is still protein-first meals and mindful eating. Think of the gelatin trick as training wheels, not the whole bike. And if you have kidney concerns, check with your doctor — excessive gelatin can be protein overkill.”

Sean specializes in accessible, evidence-based nutrition for individuals with disabilities and those navigating post-surgical diets. She holds dual master's degrees from Tufts University and approaches care without a weight-centric lens.
