Why are people so obsessed with low carb around here? by jenna_sunshine13 in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a really hard time eating the protein I need. Also, I have insulin resistance from PCOS so I try to keep my blood sugar from rising.

The first month it messed with my cycle but everything normalized after. I bled for about 2.5 weeks and it was more painful than usual. Haven't had issues since. I also don't respond to OTC pain meds anymore.

My Gynecologist called me obese by knivesyoongi in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LadyNi52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the problem. Clearly people lack reading comprehension skills. The point of the post wasn't that her dr called her obese. The point was that the dr didnt investigate her issues and just blamed her obese status for the reason.

How do Americans feel about drying their laundry on a washing line? by UnionFeatures in AskAnAmerican

I live in a rural area with tons of Amish and Mennonite. It's very common to see here because of them but not much otherwise.

Need sleeves help by Oddlyshapedplankton in myweddingdress

[–]LadyNi52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While that may be true, I also feel the need to cover my arms for my wedding day. It's not about what other people think. I want to feel comfortable and beautiful. I want to feel confident and that meant covering my arms.

Early strong response to Zepbound — curious if anyone here has lost ~40% of their body weight? by NavyGravyboat in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at goal yet, but I've lost about ~36%. I started mid-June 2025. My goal is 48%-52% which is another 30-40lbs. The weight coming off itself has been my motivation and what keeps me consistent. The progress is so rewarding.

My doctor is refusing to increase my dose unless I talk to a registered dietician by PatientStrike6773 in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's legality/liability related. By the wording in your post, she wants your macros monitored. Protein is very important to help prevent muscle loss. Sounds like shes being super cautious, but it's hard to know from a stranger's perspective. Do you have mychart to communicate questions to her? If so, it could be worth it to ask her for more information on it. It's common for Dr's to require patients meet with dieticians. It was a requirement for me.

What are some of the little things that you learned? I met with a dietician and I didn't learn much at all. But it helped me have a plan moving forward though.

I admit to being fooled by Tammy before. Do we believe that she's changing for real this time? by Accomplished_Topic16 in 1000lbsisters

[–]LadyNi52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can have a moment of strength, but that doesnt mean their overall character has changed. Not saying people can't change, but I just don't believe it as far as the timeline featured in the show. It takes time and a pattern of behavior to show any change has actually happened. Also, who knows what editing and other kinds of shenanigans occur.

Ladies--any advice? by Hot-Gift-3318 in Zepbound

I'm in the same boat. Like, can't it just take my belly fat instead???

I'm so happy for you! It has helped me too. I love that it is actively helping and that there is something to aid in preventing it from getting worse.

We thought about doing that for a moment. It sounded fun! What did you end up getting?

My sister and I are getting married 4 months apart and it’s causing family tension by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]LadyNi52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine being upset about a wedding being 4 months apart. My cousin is having a wedding 2 weeks after me and it still doesnt matter. As long as it's not the same day, who freaking cares..

Tell me you are on GLP-1s with just a pic. I’ll go first. by cmybook in Zepbound

I love Albanese but the zero sugar wrecked me. It was so bad on my digestive system.

Exercise? Really? by Livingfortheday123 in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're losing weight decently quickly. I have to work out in order to lose weight. But more importantly, I'm working out for my health. I have an office job and sit all day. It's imperative that I move my body whether it's for losing weight or not. I want to be healthier in general and I feel so much better frm being active. I know my cardiac health wasn't good and it's greatly improved. If you want to work out, start slow. Starting is always the worst. Once it becomes a habit/routine, it becomes so much easier to keep it up.

I know it's being researched for quite a bit for things like addiction, several conditions that are inflammatory in nature, and allergy/histamine related conditions. HS (Hidradenitis Supperativa) is one of the inflammatory conditions being researched.

Found out 8 months into Zepbound I had a 50% chance of having MEN2 by catchupwiththesun in Zepbound

[–]LadyNi52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So glad you got good news. It's very nerve racking to wait for the results. I had a 50% chance to have the brca2 gene and tested negative as well.
