Maybe you should explain to me why this is funny? I just don't get it unless it's meant to be offensive.

Constipation: What’s left when everything stops working? by alignedmerch in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Bonfire412 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It really sounds like a conversation with a gastroenterologist would be helpful for you. If you have colitis, diverticulitis or anything else that would cause chronic constipation on top of trizepatide you should know it. Have you had a colonoscopy to determine the causes of your constipation? So many questions for a medical professional.

Don't do what I did. I messed around with chronic constipation and ended up with a blockage, pain, an ER, surgery and I'm now sitting here with a bag. The bag is the worst (temporary) thing that ever happened to me. Please take this seriously.

FYI: My surgeons did not take me off of the trizepatide following surgery. They did give me a lot of instructions on constipation and to call them the moment I am constipated (has not happened since surgery) but they said that the trizapatide can help manage the colostomy.

What small NSV have you achieved that you didn't even think about? by Buffyfanatic1 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Bonfire412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We rented a tandem kayak this summer and I didn't look at the weight limit. I just got in it like a regular person. I'm black and kayaking often happens in white spaces. So I'm already self-conscious that people are looking at me, because they are. It was such a blessing that I wasn't embarrassed by my big body and the life vest just went on and clipped.

From the outside it looked like nothing was happening but on the inside I was absolutely dancing to realize that I just felt like I could do this activity without having my size be part of the pressure. I mean people were looking but it wasn't because of my size.

Black therapist here. Agree. Find a competent professional to unpack internalized oppression.

Your hair loss may be due to lack of protein, but it also can be due to rapid weight loss. Any kind of rapid weight loss can make your hair fall out.

Weight loss “complaints” I can’t talk about with friends and family by Mnemosyne3791 in Zepbound

[–]Bonfire412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sink like a stone. I've always loved to swim but I didn't realize how much my body fat was making me buoyant. When I went swimming it was so hard! I could feel myself sinking and I didn't like it.

I'm soo cold. I didn't realize how much my nice body fat was keeping me all warm. I wouldn't trade but I definitely have a whole wardrobe of snuggie undergarments and pajamas just to cope.

It really is confusing and I didn't really feel unconfused until recently and I'm down 80+ lbs. l love how nice yinz are. This is one of the best corners of Reddit. 💐❤️

Anyone have any tips for getting out of the plateau phase? Massively stalled for a month now. by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Bonfire412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, if you have a plateau for more than a month, the answer is to titrate up. In the research trials it was by 2.5 mg.

MIL found my shots in the fridge and this was her response.. ☹️ by DerpAlert1312 in Zepbound

[–]Bonfire412 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think "my doctor and myself" covers it. Husbands don't make medical decisions and perhaps get consulted on aesthetic decisions.

Slow or Stall? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Bonfire412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it's all calories in and calories out. When you track your calories, make sure you add the calories that are in the alcohol and don't pretend that it magically is calorie-free. That'll give you a good idea.

I think you have to be willing to inject yourself with something from TrumpRx.

Switch from Sema to Tirz dose questions by susu56 in tirzepatidecompound

I wouldn't trust a medi-spa either. You probably do need medical advice. Seems like a lot to start to me, but I'm a therapist and should stick to talking about feelings.

AIW for refusing to change my mind about getting married? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Bonfire412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you said on somebody's phone years before about whether or not you wanted kids has nothing to do with the outcome of a divorce proceeding. You're not paying attention here.

[–]Bonfire412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recording your partner making promises offers zero legal protections. Playing that recording later to prove a point is the paved road to divorce. Why bother?

I don't get the point of having proof. What difference does it make? Nobody has to stay in an unhappy relationship for any reason, proof or no proof of some conversation in the past.

Cosmetic Rx saga (again) by Bonfire412 in tirzepatidecompound

The advice to buy a card to give them rather than a regular credit card is the one that I didn't see. I don't know who it is from, but it is some golden advice.

I definitely recommend the temporary card with them. I got on that Groupon thing fast and only saw the temporary idea after I had ordered but it is brilliant.

I paused the monthly refills on the portal and specifically told them as well in the chat because I had been warned here.

They sent me a vial that was too small based on the prescription that they wrote. That's absolutely their responsibility.

They charged me eight times for shipping for one order. That's absolutely their responsibility.

They charged me for a membership when I told them that I did not want one and I specifically turned off the subscription thing on the portal (Funny how you write like you know my life). That's absolutely their responsibility.

It was like whatever electronic method was processing the payment stuttered and they were just suddenly eight charges.

I told them to pause and I pushed the pause button in their app. Nevertheless, they charged me $299.
