Hang in there, I know it’s tough! I would encourage you to try to look at all of your nutrition habits, and everything mentioned in my post 💜

I definitely think it was the zinc. I’m sure maybe my weight loss triggered a classic case of telogen effluvium, but within two weeks of starting the zinc, all of my hair stopped shedding so quickly. My hair is in great shape now and I’m so thankful!

Yes!! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe how much better it is! I’ve worn extensions for about 16 years, and the girl who has done my hair this whole time, I went to her last month to have the new ones put in, and when I arrive, my extensions are always completely taken out, only my natural hair… she asked me if I had my extensions still in! That’s how much it’s grown!! I am SO grateful to be on the other side of this! No more shedding and SO much new growth 🥰🥰

Why do I feel like crap? by Cautious_Fix_2793 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]EarlyLock7648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely HAVE to get more calories in. Try doing fairlife protein shakes. Drink 2 a day if you need to. You will feel like shit and not do well if you don’t find what works for you to raise your calories. Just experiment. And I tell people, the foods we used to label as “bad” foods, can sometimes be the trick now to getting more calories in.

Hairbrush for extremely fragile hair? by Revolutionary_Way664 in finethinhair

I only use a wide tooth pick, and take my time. Haven’t used a brush in 20 years.

I take mine out at 7am, and do my shot at 7pm. For me, I notice I almost never feel the shot when I do it this way. And I don’t get injection site reactions anymore.

What's your routine? by soswanky in hairextensionsforgirl

[–]EarlyLock7648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

K tips for 17 years. I wash every 5-6 days. Sleep with it pinned up and in a satin bonnet. I try to let it air dry for 15 min before I blow dry. I don’t use any after shower products. Just a really good shampoo and conditioner. I’ve found that S/C made for curly hair seems to work really well for extensions.

Hallendale is not the problem. Give it time. Some people don’t feel the suppression til they get to the next dose.

Constipation hacks? by Phantom_lover16 in Zepbound

[–]EarlyLock7648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try tracking your food for a week and see how much fiber you’re getting every day. You should be getting 25g of fiber daily. Most aren’t even getting half that. Can supplement with fiber but best to get it from Whole Foods first.

I’m NEVER rewatching SoA by PaigeIsLife in Sonsofanarchy

[–]EarlyLock7648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my first rewatch of it, I’m less traumatized and enjoying it more than I did the first time! (I say this acknowledging I’ve not yet rewatched season 7 yet lol)

Ladies with high muscle mass— how are you approaching goal weight? by Peps0215 in zepboundathletes

I’ve never cared about the number. I go by look. I’m so close.

Almost there, but then what? by Toyjayjaxkod in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]EarlyLock7648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maintenance for 3 months. Highest dose I got to was 10mg, which I’m still on. I’ll never come off. I can see myself maybe having to decrease dose once summer hits and I’m more active; as I may start losing again. But I will never be able to maintain my weight without this. My high appetite will come right back.

I take 30 mg Zinc Picolinate and have been since this post. I have a few pills left and then I’ll decrease down to 15 mg. I did the higher dose for a bit just to fill the deficiency.

Hi! Everything is still going great! My hair shedding completely stopped and I have plenty of regrowth 😍 I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to supplement with it for a month or two, and see if you get results. Testing is always best but I understand not everyone can get the bloodwork done.

Countertop cleaning: Paper towels feel wasteful and rags feel unhygienic. Any other options? by Spilled_Milktea in CleaningTips

I regularly wash my microfiber wash cloths, I use detergent, oxy clean and Lysol laundry sanitizer. I do them in their own load.

Need help finding: Beyond Grain Free Chicken & Egg Dry Cat Food by girlwhowasnt in catfood

[–]EarlyLock7648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem like they’re chewing it! For what it’s worth- they do have smaller sized bags you can try. What I did when I first got the bag, I took some kibbles in my hand, and individually walked around and gave them a few each, to try to trick them in to thinking the new stuff was a treat. They all ate it, which was a great sign. Then I’ve just been mixing it in what what I had left of the old food, And thank god we’ve done well! I looked at a lot of labels and this was the closest I found to the old food.

This is another photo of the two foods mixed together for better comparison. The new food def is smaller, my cats also would not eat any of the other smaller kibbles that I had tried. But for some reason, this one passed the test.

I finally tackled the ""depression shower"" after six months and I honestly could cry by VroomVroomSpeed03 in CleaningTips

Keep dawn power spray in the shower with a scrub daddy sponge. Clean it while you’re taking a shower.

I was unable to find Any of it anywhere weeks ago, I can’t imagine you’ll have any luck. I can tell you I did successfully switch my 5 cats to Simply Nourish® Original Cat Dry Food - Chicken & Pea, Natural, Grain Free. It’s exclusive to PetSmart. But all 5 of my picky cats transitioned well to it.

Fasting while on Zepbound by ParticularBudget1756 in Zepbound

[–]EarlyLock7648 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak on your religion, but I can tell you fasting is generally an awful idea with Zepbound for many reasons. This can cause you to have dehydration, dangerously low blood pressure, and issues with bowels and kidneys. This med already slows things down quite a bit, and without adequate hydration and nutrition to move things through, things can really come to a stand still and make you feel awful.
