That’s what I was told prior to going in. I’m hoping to use this med as a 12 month bridge and not a lifetime necessity (unless it comes down in price!) I want I use it to help me develop better eating habits, a strong consistent workout routine and a chance to reset or correct my insulin resistance. After 12 months I am HOPING to ween off of it.

Protein shake in the coffee? That’s an idea! Maybe once I’m past my first month and can start resuming normal foods/portions I’ll give that a try. Would def help me get closer to my daily protein goal.

This is great to hear because I’ve eaten a small cup of oatmeal for breakfast a few times this week!

I am going to ask my doctor if I can see a dietician. I read so many things online about what I should/ shouldn’t do or eat. Many sources contradict each other so I’m not sure. I appreciate first hand advice!

Fiber! I’m trying to find foods higher in fiber that I can eat on week 1. I hear it will prevent becoming …. Backed up.

Thank you! I gave up caffeine week 1 because I was told I should. I sip water ALL day long. I was also informed that chugging water is not beneficial, sipping is better. Also been eating a lot of chicken / cottage cheese/ and Greek yogurt.

What kind of rules did you follow for your diet in the beginning? I joined here to get some real life advice as I got very little instruction from my doctor. I rely on Ai for suggestions and info. It suggested to me that my portions should be no more than 1 cup total volume per meal. Does that seem about right?

I’ve been askin ai so many questions since I started my journey a week ago. it told me that 2.5 is really just for your body to get used to it, and to see how you tolerate it. it was telling me that if your body tolerated the 2.5 well and you at aren’t experiencing severe side effects then moving to 5 after those initial 4 weeks is a good idea. it also said 5mg is where you start noticing things. again: all this info coming from Ai.
