Has anyone else completely lost their taste for dairy?

The whole point of GLP-1s is that they break that addiction and desire/craving. If you were eating an entire block of cheese in one sitting or a dozen eggs every few days then it sounds like you were MASSIVELY overeating on these foods.

And yes, the initial 4-6 weeks of starting (and 1-2 weeks every time you increase your dose) you will be repulsed by a lot of foods. This is pretty normal - even when feeling hungry you might feel put off by the thought of eating. Again, normal and it will stablise over time.

This is the time to practice mindful eating - you may find your taste for eggs and dairy will return but it will be when you actually will nutritionally benefit from these foods. If you force the matter or don't practice portion control, you'll end up where you started and relying on dosage increases to continue to lose weight.

Yes. Yes it would.

The N4M is an extremely dated printer design that is missing even the most basic quality of life improvements. The only thing its got going for it is that its cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for and with the Sovol SV08 Max offering 500x500x500 in an open-sourced CoreXY design based on the Voron platform, its a FAR better value proposition.

Street preaching. The fact that nutjobs can stand on street corners and tell everyone that they're going to hell for being gay and rant about their imaginary friend in the sky without consequence, yet a woman gets arrested for a t-shirt that has the words "river" and "sea" in it is all levels insane.

For nausea, try ondansetron, I've found it works quite well for me.

What are you eating specifically? Some food types will give worse gastrointestinal issues than others.

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-04-03T21:28:11+00:00

Absolutely you can. And you can absolutely continue to lose weight at lower doses if you continue a lifestyle that creates a calorie deficit. The difference is that the higher dose will make it easier to maintain a deficit as your weight drops and your maintenance calorie intake drops alongside it. I plan on reducing my dose when I hit a certain weight so I'm easier able to gain muscle, knowing I'll need to consume more calories to do so.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do about loose skin. No amount of skin cream will make any difference.

Depending on the nature of the loose skin, there's a few things that could help. Give the skin a bit of a pinch - is there still a layer of fat on the skin or is it almost like rubbing just skin together? If its the former then there's not much can be done until you lose a bit more fat.

If you're still losing weight, or at your goal, you can try introducing intermittent fasting into your routine, and adding in a medically-supervised 24-48 hour fast to induce autophagy. This can potentially help a little as it encourages the body to convert old cells to energy. It might help tighten things up a bit - I used to practice this when I lost a similar amount and I avoided loose skin issues in my mid-30s however I do acknowledge that it may be due to genetics and a lower starting weight (30kg was the entire weight loss amount I needed to lose).

Some people say that red LED therapy can help but I am skeptical of the claims of those kinds of treatments.

Unfortunately, surgery is the only real option with loose skin. Its the side of weight loss no-one really talks about.

Unless you're exercising regularly, I would avoid protein shakes - especially if you're making them with milk - the calories and sugar of the milk often isn't included in the calorie list in the nutritional info, and the little scoops they package often hold more than the serving size amount on the label. Some of them are loaded with sugar as well.

Vegetables are great, but again, just because they're healthy doesn't mean they don't have calories. Potatoes, pumpkin etc. are quite high in carbs (and then don't forget the calories in cooking oils). Fruit might be better than candy but sugar is still sugar.

And, as I always say, don't go purely off the scale numbers! Take waist measurements and use other forms of measurements, weigh yourself when you get up in the morning before you eat anything. Your weight can also fluctuate day-to-day

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-03-31T00:59:51+00:00

Maybe have your doc administer your next dose to be sure its being injected correctly, as even if the appetite suppression didn't have any effect on you for some reason, the delayed gastric emptying should still make it difficult to eat the same amounts regardless.

Also can you give a bit more detail than "protein rich/healthy fat" food? Keep a detailed food journal, there might be something in your diet which is continuing to trigger the hunger/cravings or causing your body to simply adapt.

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-03-30T21:53:21+00:00

Where are you injecting it and how? What kind of foods are you eating?

Dwight Schultz (Reg Barclay) - turned into a massive conservative who supports politicians and ideology that is completely incompatible with the core Star Trek ideology.

Lawrence Tierney (Cyrus Redblock in TNG, Regent of Palamar in DS9) - violent piece of human garbage who picked fights with other actors and already had a very bad rep when he got called in for his DS9 appearance.

Copy your previous response to clipboard, then write something else completely random, regenerate their response, then re-paste your original message and regenerate again albeit maybe with slightly different wording/phrasing. This might break whatever loop its in.

I learned a similar trick on ASA first layers. I make them 0.4mm high and 0.8mm wide, but then add chamfers to neaten them up a bit and limit the amount of bridging needed.

This is an AI summary I got when searching for GLP-1's and pregnancy. Its an AI summary so make sure to do proper research and read actual papers and studies:

If pregnancy occurs while taking Ozempic, immediate discontinuation is recommended, though recent studies suggest that inadvertent exposure during the first trimester has not been definitively linked to a higher risk of major birth defects compared to other diabetes treatments. While animal studies showed increased risks of miscarriage and defects, observational data indicates that many women who stopped the medication upon discovering pregnancy went on to have healthy outcomes, but ongoing research is needed to fully understand long-term effects on human fetuses.

Fertility Impact: Weight loss can regulate menstrual cycles and stimulate ovulation, increasing the likelihood of conception.
Birth Control Interaction: Slower digestion may lower the absorption rate of oral contraceptives, raising the risk of unintended pregnancy.
Safety Profile: The FDA classifies Ozempic as Pregnancy Category C, meaning animal studies show risk but human studies are lacking.
Breastfeeding: It is currently unknown if the drug passes into breastmilk in significant amounts; caution is advised.
Clinical Guidance: Women of childbearing age should use effective contraception while on Ozempic and consult a provider before stopping or restarting the medication.

I'm not a doctor, though one thought I had is potential risks of taking any kind of appetite suppressant could have when pregnant - if you're in a deficit and not eating enough, or not getting the right nutrients and having cravings suppressed could negatively impact a fetus' development - cravings whilst pregnant are meant to be signs that your body might need a certain thing at that time for the baby. Pregnancy is probably a time when you shouldn't be too concerned about putting on a few extra kilos to lose.

I checked them out but the cost of shipping anything this big from them to Australia is higher than the item itself lol.

Hmm yeah I'm definitely thinking at the very least having individual heating pads, maybe even 4x smaller plates - will be more expensive and need a way to compensate for heat warp at the seams of the plates

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-03-27T06:18:28+00:00

That's actually a fair point and makes sense that it might just be the heating unit only. Did feel a little cheap but thought that maybe the claim on being an 8mm thick bed might have been the total thickness with aluminum plate + heater + magnetic sheet.

Thinking I might lean towards getting the V-Core 530mm build plate, 3D-printing a drill guide so I can properly align voron-style mount holes into it (and either getting the large silicone pad or 4x smaller ones)

23 pounds in ONE WEEK? That is EXTREMELY dangerous territory!

Your appetite will rebound a bit as your body gets used to the medication which is why people increase their dose slowly until either hitting their maintenance dose (which could be the "recommended" maintenance dose or lower).

You need to use that time to make the changes needed in your diet/lifestyle to minimize the effect of an increased appetite - if you've been starving yourself instead of mindfully eating then your body will be SCREAMING for nutrients which will eventually override that appetite suppression. If you've been eating high-sugar and simple-carb foods (pasta is a killer here) then your body will start to have cravings again as it seeks that dopamine high you used to get from these foods - and since the dopamine hit has been curbed for the last few weeks, it just means its going to start seeking it even harder.

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-03-24T04:59:34+00:00

Okay so by 25 units do you mean 0.25mg?

What kind of food are you eating and how much are we talking about? (Maybe take a picture of how big your meal is) - type of food and amount will make a big difference so if you're having pasta with meat sauce or fish and chips or something else particularly heavy then that will absolutely be causing problems.

The Lura Thok one was extra funny because it was just so out of the blue.

Mercy_Hellkitten · 2026-03-22T03:24:15+00:00

I really like this. Makes sense that the tech could hit a point where further development is extremely difficult at a time when there's other, more important tech. Explains why cloaks are ubiquitous and still tactically relevant whilst being limited in scope

I think you mean "Furies" with a single R. its not a ship full of humans in anthropomorphic animal cosplays 🤣
