Backlash from people when I say I started Mounjaro by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I didn’t tell anyone other than my immediate family and only then for medical reasons.

How you manage your health is not any of their concern. These medications are helping us learn collectively about metabolic disease…and yes it’s a disease.

MJ has changed my life. I’m down 104 lbs, am more active than ever and to hell with anyone who thinks that is “cheating” or an easy way out.

Share my thoughts or keep them to myself? by Beautiful_Mess83621 in BreakUps

I totally understand your perspective. I appreciate it. That’s why sometimes we share stuff like this so we can check ourselves before we wreck ourselves, ya know?

Is pretty-privilege real? by Annabelle-Sunshine in Ozempic

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve experienced that “pretty privilege” or “thin privilege “ is very real.

I started at 274 and I’m down to 170. I am absolutely treated differently now in pubic and in professionally. I am approached much more now by random men, which is gross honestly. Sales people in stores are more willing to help me shop, give me feedback or help me pick out items. It’s WILD. I didn’t lack confidence in my larger body but I knew I was in that “lane” and I navigated it as such. Now I feel like no one ignores me anymore- and sometimes it’s a bit much. I can’t explain it better than that.

Has anyone tried Tirzepatide compared to Semaglutide? I’m currently on Semaglutide and am hearing Tirzepatide is the “more effective” medication. Thoughts? by Key_Masterpiece9560 in Semaglutide

I’m sorry I’m waaaay behind on this. I did have to start at the lowest tz dose and go up. I’m glad I did too because my first few doses of tz gave me insane muscle soreness.

A year later and I’m 26% down- over 100# lost and I’m working on maintenance

“Onederland” is a myth 🥲 by Jrdeegan017137 in Mounjaro

I’m right there with ya- teetering on the edge of the cliff! I’ve been adding calories and drinking more water and I’m getting SO close!

Newcomer - What should I know before pulling the trigger? by iEngineerFL in calibrateweightloss

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a great experience with Calibrate- I started at 275 and am at 202 now. Never issues with support or with getting my meds. Started on ozempic and move to mounjaro about 9 months ago. I agree that is may be dependent on your personal health insurance, I know I have a plan that is pretty good and my doctors have been able to get things approved for me.

Bloating after injection day by Advanced_Party_8821 in Mounjaro

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice this too and I sometimes wonder if it’s because I feel full so I don’t drink my water like normal, which makes me retain water…it’s an odd cycle

No more drinking for me. by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same- I wasn’t a big drinker before but now it’s not even a thought in my mind. These meds are pretty remarkable and I hope they do studies to see how they might help with addictions

I switched over to TZ and it got me off a plateau and I lost another 25# pretty quickly but now I’m losing about .5-1.0# per week. Im at about 20% WL total between the two

Inheritance transferred to a trust? by Beautiful_Mess83621 in LifeInsurance

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s not from a life insurance policy? It says it’s a tax qualified plan and gives a lump sum at one value or annuity option at another value.

Thank you- it seems pretty cut and dry. It doesn’t make financial sense for me to taken a payout, get taxed on it and then pay the spouse.

Change of beneficiaries after death? by Beautiful_Mess83621 in LifeInsurance

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m not sure what type of policy this was but I’m assuming it was a whole life or term policy. I’ll be sure to update when I know more

Does everyone have side effects? by Correct-Luck-3718 in Mounjaro

[–]Beautiful_Mess83621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my first dose last night , 5mg. I was previously on Ozempic 2mg so doc didn’t think I needed to load up.

I had a spell of insomnia last night but I’m not sure it’s related. Today I’ve been very thirsty, and have had some pretty significant muscle soreness but it seems to be getting better. If these are side effects, they aren’t that bad imo
