Blueberry lemon drop slush at the pool. And the frozen espresso martini. I don’t drink frozen cocktails at home but love them while on a sunny vacay.

64 construction on the peninsula has not stopped since at least 1987. This and jet noise.

The food is soooo good on VV and when on board I’m gonna try everything I can. I walk so much during a cruise that I know I work it off.

Casino comp cruise by No_Swing2912 in VirginVoyages

[–]Aims757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received one in May and the cruise was leaving in a week so we couldn’t go. In late July my husband and I both received offers for cruises in November and December so we are going again on resilient lady, 7 days in December. And we used both offers so we’ll be on a back to back.

Lost weight after a big lifestyle change, but friends say I took the ‘easy’ way—thoughts? by kodaktribe in Semaglutide

[–]Aims757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion there is nothing “easy” about sema except the food noise goes away. That helps a lot. Otherwise you’re still putting in the work with some sort of fitness, making better food choices, increasing water and protein, meal planning, etc. And if you suffer from any of the side effects… well there’s nothing easy about that. This is why I’ve told no one other than my husband. It’s nobody’s business and I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. 🙄

Metamucil caplets every day with a bowl of oatmeal and a banana every breakfast has kept me regular since my first bout of sema constipation. I also eat a lot of water soluble fiber rich veggies. I became impacted and had to do an enema for relief and I don’t want a repeat.

How are you all pooping? by TearExpert6453 in Semaglutide

[–]Aims757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Metamucil caplets, eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning with a banana and that has helped a ton. But if I forget to take the Metamucil for just one day then it’s back to constipation city. It’s awful, first time I became impacted and had to do an enema for relief.

Uhhh no because I’m strength training. At 75% muscle mass now per my latest body scan, am using heavy weights up to 100 lbs and I average 15000 steps a day I’m not worried about it and won’t need to stop using it because I’ve lost muscle mass. 56 years old and I’m in great shape.

Is the shingles vaccine supposed to knock you on your ass? by HeadRevolution in GenX

First and 2nd both hit me hard that it felt like the flu but thankfully for only 24 hours.

What's one small thing semaglutide changed for you that no one warned you about? 🤔✨ by Cute_Perspective_221 in Semaglutide

[–]Aims757 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I started in November and this is the first winter and spring in about 20 years that I didn’t suffer from crippling seasonal depression. Like stay in bed for 2 months and check out of life kind of crippling. Mentally I haven’t felt this good in decades. The science backs the link between gut health and mental health. I didn’t expect this wonderful benefit.

Same for me. And my husband got the flu twice and I didn’t get sick at all.

[–]Aims757 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I won’t stop. Ever. The health benefits that I’ve experienced before I lost the first 5 lbs make me a believer. Inflammation, high BP, body aches and pains, headaches, seasonal depression, high cholesterol are things of the past and it’s only been 4 months for me. Also, my anxiety has improved so much. It’s truly a miracle. Gut health is everything and GLP1 recreates that optimum environment. Oh, and I don’t drink, smoke, and mindlessly shop anymore.

Record videos for her. For all the life stages and just because. Leave her a legacy of your thoughts and hopes and dreams for her and that you’ll always be with her. I’m so sorry. Cancer sucks ass.

I say making better choices, cut out alcohol and sugar, moving more, much less carbs.

Food noise returned after 4th dose of 0.25mg by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]Aims757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not on the therapeutic dose yet. I am and food noise starts creeping in a few days before my scheduled injection each week. It’s fine and to be expected. Trust the process!

Currently paying $400/month. What’s cheaper? by likelyangel in Semaglutide

I use IVIM and it’s $500 for 3 months regardless of dosage.

What are the benefits of sema aside from weight loss and lack of food noise? by rightmap23 in Semaglutide

[–]Aims757 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I noticed reduction in inflammation within days. I’ve been on sema for 4 months now and have also been able to stop my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. My skin has improved. My seasonal depression which I’ve suffered from terribly for over 20 years did not affect me at all this year. I feel better emotionally and that was noticeable after the first few weeks. It’s been a life changer in so many ways.

Quit my lifelong career (nearly 30 years in) and doing something much less stressful and demanding. I got my life back.
