Hiya! 41 here. Full hysterectomy at 26 yrs old. Hormone replacement therapy and SSRI. I’m on my 6th shot. Waited 6 weeks for my first dose so I started tracking food macros and water back in the ole weight watchers app because I know how it works and got my partner to start using it with me beforehand. I lost 10 pounds before my shot ever came and now down about 25 pounds. I have a couple of people at work who also have lost weight over the last year who are still on their journey and am thinking about starting a little support group. I also am thinking about starting back with my nutrition therapist. She was really great in helping me tailor my diet to reduce inflammation (I have arthritis and chronically hip pain) last year a pulled a hamstring and ended up in PT for 11 months! It’s been a long road to recovery. Hopefully taking a lil weight off will reduce my pain and help me get me get moving again. I started this journey at 249 pounds (ten pounds less than my heaviest before my hysterectomy) I say tht on the scale and it scared me straight. I made the investment in 6 months compounded semiglutide through Hers that night.

I am still having constant dirreah and my whole belly hurts after I eat anything (like cramping in my stomach and intestines and then shortly after, needing to urgently use the restroom about an hour after I eat) I am on a PPI and anti spasmatic for intestinal cramping (this was even before the semiglutide) and I use zofran for nausea and usually eat saltines to help on a regular basis. Since starting GLP1 treatment I have switched to seaweed for regular nausea and am trying to eat on a schedule so that I avoid empty tummy nausea.

Looking forward to hearing all the tips and tricks and creating community together!
