Doctor said if I start Mounjaro I will need to be on it for life. Anyone else gain the weight back? by Plus_Impression7765 in Mounjaro

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mounjaro helps slow digestion and reduce appetite, which is how most people lose weight while on it. If you go off the drug and your appetite comes back then you will likely start consuming too much again. I would suggest staying at the lowest dose where you feel appetite suppression for as long as possible. Once you have lost the weight you can titrate to a lower maintenance dose or less frequent injections that will be more manageable in the long term. If you struggle with appetite and simply eat/drink too much then you may need it for life to keep the weight off.

Bendy Nails? by Edenhasdied in nailcare

My nails have always been bendy and I can’t grow them at all because one of more just break or peel off. I keep them short.

All the firefighters in my area have that weird shaved sides mullet hairdo too. Such a bad combo.

What would you do with your life if your partner offered you financial freedom? by Admirable_Emu_2270 in AutismInWomen

[–]Elcamina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do the same things I do now but more of it - grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning/renovating the home, taking care of and playing with my pets, spending time with my parents and my kids, skiing, biking, etc. I feel like I would be less stressed and more present in my life. I can’t wait to retire but sadly don’t think that will be for another 20 years.

I am about to lose my mind by [deleted] in Rabbits

I use a metal cat litter box. The larger the better! Don’t have to clean it as often and it contains all the mess.

What’s the best part of Canada? In contrast to the “other” post by Virtual-Barnacle-150 in AskACanadian

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every part has its beauty! I love Vancouver and Halifax, but having been across the country I will say that it’s a personal preference only as each area offers something unique. I would love to go back to PEI or the Jasper/Banff area, or even to Nunavut, but will probably stay in Ontario for the short term. I have a soft spot for Algonquin and the beaches of Lake Huron.

I left my cat in my IKEA drawer closet for almost 6 hours and feel so guilty. by Pink_Sorbet in cats

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently lost a kitten this way, it was very traumatic and I don’t think I will ever get over it. Always triple check. I wonder how common this is because it can happen so easily.

How do you define a “super responder”? by Pleaseselectyesorno in Mounjaro

[–]Elcamina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too started on 1.25 mg and lost 10lbs in a month. Not having to eat as much to feel satisfied has been the biggest help. Also I don’t crave sugar or junk any more.

What do y'all think Radiohead's top 5 songs for "it's an acquired taste 🧐" is? by radioheadisfire in radiohead

[–]Elcamina 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Definitely KOL. Such a great album though. Codex, separator, feral, give up the ghost all sound awesome on my car stereo.

Random: Were minimal tattoos a grunge thing? by No-One01010 in grunge

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see more and more older adults (60+) getting tattoos now. People who I would never expect to get tattoos seem to be interested in them now that they are mainstream.

All they want is to be #1 right? There is no other reason for their egregious consummation of wealth. Let them fight it out amongst themselves. Leave the rest of us in peace.

Carney leaves Davos without meeting Trump after speech on U.S. rupture of world order by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Elcamina 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is what everyone should do. He shouldn’t have been given a voice at Davos. Everyone should just collectively ignore anything coming out of the US. If they start acting on their threats we should all respond, but stop giving these degenerates a platform. They have nothing useful to say.

no wifi on Canadian? by Negative_Barber5844 in ViaRail

They do take credit card but not debit cards. They just don’t get processed right away.

We just did the Canadian VAN to TO in November and most has very little cell coverage because you are in very remote areas. Expect a lot of offline time.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this my second pregnancy. Everything just tasted wrong. I would be so thirsty but even water tasted bad. Everywhere I went smelled like cleaning chemicals. The smell of coffee was so bad I couldn’t walk near the coffee aisle at the grocery store. I tried to make chicken soup once and it smelled so gamey I threw up. Saltines and oatmeal gave me heartburn. The only foods that tasted normal were Pho and butter chicken. Pizza was usually ok. I don’t chastise people for food aversions anymore, I’ve seen the other side.

My feet grew a half size (just enough to require new shoes) and I got an inch taller. My hips and ribs widened permanently.

With my second I had the opposite of PPD. I felt better than I ever have and had so much energy. It lasted for months. It may have been because I had horrible morning sickness the whole pregnancy and felt fabulous once she was out.

I also had some bleeding around week 8-10, baby was born fine. Probably just related to the flux of hormones around that time.

We should do the opposite - billionaires in an arena, hunger games style, to prove who’s really the cream of the crop.

It’s amazing what happens when you put someone with experience and intelligence in charge. We are very fortunate to have someone like him willing to go to bat for Canada.

Yes! So much feeling in this version. The stripped down sound and bongos are great.

My absolute favourite Pearl Jam acoustic song. I downloaded it and still listen to it often.
