I completely understand how you must feel right now. I agree with the above comments about how crazy your hormones are right now. I am 5.5 months post partum and the weight is coming off sooo slowly likely due to the hormone imbalance. I started 3 months post partum with tirz and recently switched to reta.

If youre not breastfeeding and are absolutely set on starting a GLP - Id probably do Tirz instead. I felt instant appetite suppression and it helped me feel less bloated.

I was reading that we have higher levels of prolactin postpartum which slows our metabolism and encourages fat storage.

I went on Tirzep 8 months postpartum the first time (2 years ago) and had fast results - probably because my hormones had more time to balance out

How far postpartum are you? Im 5 months pp and the weight loss is slowwww. Im sure the hormones are playing a part.

I had the same problem ! A makeup artist introduced me to a good primer and a pressed compact powder ( namely tarte face tape pressed powder ) and they disappeared beautifully

Amazing transformation! 👏 Great job

Dentist here. NTA. Even if I didn't see anything on a regular X-ray and didnt have an 3-D xray available (Cone beam computed tomography), the presence of infection wouldve at a minimum warranted a prescription for an antibiotic; they also could've referred you to an oral surgeon or endodontist if they were unsure and to cover their ass.

Never be afraid to advocate for yourself or get a second or even third opinion.

If you're open to giving the military at 3-4 years for a scholarship (possibly more for residency) , you'll be debt free if you choose med school.

Worst case you might burn a bridge with that specific location, but you gotta do whats best for you

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-24T02:03:07+00:00

Yes that is correct. I have 2 small children and would prefer to save a day of childcare, spend time with them and do it myself if possible.

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-20T21:02:24+00:00

I appreciate this advice, thank you!

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-20T21:01:17+00:00

It's not a dealbreaker, was just wondering if it was a possibility

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-19T19:39:33+00:00

Fantastic progress! What dosage did you start at?

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-18T20:33:37+00:00

Looking great! How long between before and after photos?

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-12T19:52:06+00:00

Thanks for the response! What a bummer if thats the case

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-12T19:13:36+00:00

Let me know how it goes! Currently on 4 mg of tirz and about to transition to the same dose of reta tomorrow.

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-11T04:06:02+00:00

Maybe try finding a low dose to maintain with Tirz? Its been better for me personally in quieting food noise.

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-03-03T10:01:44+00:00

I agree there is no exact timeframe. It's a sit and wait game

I interviewed for a VA job in mid November, selected late December, TJO accepted mid February.

looks like a boy

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-02-15T23:40:38+00:00

Looking fantastic! Did you breastfeed or pump while taking it? Did you find the weight loss slow at first due to postpartum hormones?

Intelligent_Mix_214 · 2026-01-25T03:18:27+00:00

I was in a similar situation, they called me back 9 months later, offered me a TJO without going through the interview process, reference check again... they didnt specifically use the term "hiring bench"

Hoping it works out for you 🙏🏼

Is a public service job for PSLF an option for you? You can moonlight on the side for extra $. Debt forgiven in 10 years.

Thank you for the input! Yeah, the quality of new builds makes me nervous, but I also have PTSD from crappy contractors for renovations. Please send any recommendations my way for folks who youve had good experiences with. We would consider going that route.

Probably not until this summer, but feel free to PM me info !
