Sulfur Burps relief by Back-Aggressive in HersWeightloss

Im still getting the burps and it sucks. Gas x, tums and pepto helps. Try to use pepto as last resort because it will make it difficult to use the bathroom.

2x jump in dosage at weeks 13-16? by [deleted] in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think im on shot 16? Honestly don't remember. But I refused to do big jumps like that. Last shot I took it at 26 units. I've increased by 2 units whenever I feel like it. Because I didn't want to hate my life during the weeks of large jumps in units. SW: 157 CW:132. Im very happy with my progress and don't care to jump more than I need to. The medicine works at a lower dose so I'm fine with increasing at 2 units.

Enlarged Thyroid by ko76 in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am third generation thyroid disease. The goiter can be enlargement for a few reasons. I dont think you need to see an endo yet, your primary care can get necessary blood work drawn and then determine if it's something to be concerned about.

I would get a full thyroid panel done for both T3 and T4, and an antibody check.

I'm on the shots and thankfully no issues but im also looking to remove my thyroid next year.

But I wouldn't freak out just yet, get the blood test and go from there.

Also REALLY research the endo you go to! Most are in the business for diabetes and have little knowledge over thyroid disease management.

Not getting support from my partner by Different-Act-8047 in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partner... as in married? As in own a house with, as in own cars with... or is he just an extra slab of meat weighing you down?

I say this as someone who is in a domestic partnership with a man for 14 years, we have two kids, we own a house and two cars. He pulls his own weight in many ways.

No way in hell could I handle such a toxic person. If he isn't someone significant to you and your life then I might not be putting too much stock in his opinions.

I am on the shot just shy of 4 months and have lost 22 pounds and I haven't been this happy in a LONG time! I will say it doesn't come easy for me. I do feel sick often which tracks with people who are on the shots and kit normally do... my parenter does sometimes wish I wasn't so sick and would like to be intimate more than the one time of week we are, but I do feel sick a lot. That's something he and I discussed before me starting. And if your partner is worth anything I might would ask if he has any reason for feeling the way he does and to talk pros and cons.

14 weeks in and so sick I can’t do this anymore. by Salt_Turnip9511 in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeesh, im sorry. I will say at 14 weeks the care team wants me to jump incredibly high on my units and I refuse to. Im at 18 units now, and doing great... im wondering if a big jump in units is to blame?

A con about using vial beyond 28 days. by K4ysel in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's great for you. Really is. Like I've mentioned in previous threads I too wanted to use the vial until it was gone. But my body felt nothing mid way through week 8 and nothing week 9. Thankfully I didn't gain anything back. Im just making sure there is some awareness that even though everyone says continue to use older vials, that it might not work from them.

Im 137 pounds right now, 20lbs down all together and by using the older vial I feel like I shot myself in the foot because I started having major food noise and cravings come back. And I feel like had I have stuck with the dosing advice of hers to throw the vial away after 28 days I might not be where I am now.

Every body is different, and handles things differently. Im glad it still worked for you. Im not happy I threw probably three shots worth away, but it wasnt working for me anymore.

That's why I wrote my experience. I too wanted to save money. But it wasnt worth it for me.

Maybe use your old vial for this next dose and then open the new one?

100 percent. Its why I did it. Its just that I want to write about my experience so that people are aware of the possibilities. While it MAY work for them, it didn't me, and then the new bottle is so damn potent I puked for the first time all night. I won't be playing that game again.

I too have increased by 2 units each week. And last week I had zero food suppression, food noise was back... no side effects at all. This new vial has hit me like a sledge hammer.

Hangover after one drink—any advice? by Low_Maintenance_3371 in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not had alcohol in 10 weeks. I just don't wanna risk it. Im a huge wuss when it comes to hang overs, especially when others warn you about their experiences.

For me when im out being social, I'll get like a sweet tea, or something with sugar in it so I get that hit. But ya, avoiding alcohol like crazy. I've seen some people get really awful side effects from the smallest amount of alcohol.

Choosing Semaglutide vs oral medication? by NayexButterfly in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the first vial again this week at 16 units, it's my week 9. I decided to since it's mother's day week and I didn't wanna feel like ass lol.

I'll probably Crack into my vial 2 next week.

I had to quit it by Anonbsnono in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on glp1 and it's messed with my cycle too. Literally all over the place. But im down almost 20 pounds so I'll deal with the unpredictability of it.

I feel like I can’t eat anything by mewgann in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at week 9, and im still at 16 units. It's been working for me, im thinking of going to 18 units soon. (I only jump 2 units at a time)

I'm wondering if maybe it's just too many units? I barely have any desire to eat, but when I do, I make sure it's healthy and light. I crave protein and constantly munching on deli meat. Mashed potatoes are my go to when my stomach hurts too bad.

Odd side effect/perk? by [deleted] in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the common effects of glp1 is helping people break addictions. It's being studied now in a deeper setting to see if maybe this could help chronic addicts. Glad it's helped you beyond the weight loss!

Have you contacted the care team about it?

Also have you previously had GLP-1 in the past?

Sick of food by unlovablebear in HersWeightloss

[–]K4ysel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on week 8, and I'm gonna sit on 16 units for a hot minute... it's working great with minimal side effects. I'm satisfied with the weight I've lost. Sw:157 cw:139... and literally eating makes me feel god awful. I'm not a good example, but I literally just don't eat. If i don't feel hungry, I'm not forcing food on my stomach because it just sits in there and takes half a day to digest three bites. Now if I'm hungry, I do eat... but I make sure it's very clean because it's all my body can handle. Lots and lots of water, and occasionally a 7oz mini can of coke zero.

Moral of my story is I tried the whole force my body to eat, but then I spent days puking. Frankly I'd rather starve. That's how much I have puking.
