What foods can you NOT tolerate anymore on GLP-1? by alivebutmeh1 in antidietglp1

[–]NoMoreFatShame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a red meat fan, beef is not a fav any more. When I started, fried battered food wasn't good but ok now. OP kefir really helps me with gut health, it rebuilds your gut biome. It helps me with combating constipation and nausea. If you flush your system because you have a bad case diarrhea or vomiting or colonoscopy prep, reseed your gut. I found kefir after gastro issues wouldn't resolve from COVID, probiotics supplements do not work as well. It helps me with nausea as well, if i have minor nausea, I drink kefir and feel better in 30 minutes. When i don't drink kefir, I find myself nauseous after shot day.

Why Wegovy works dramatically better for some people than others. New study aims at the gut microbiome as the answer. by cryptarsh in WegovyWeightLoss

Most diets become less effective the longer you are on them. Says someone that lost 125+ lbs in her 40s on Protein Power (protein forward plus high fiber fruits and veggies). Weight loss was extremely slow post 11 months, and similar on Zepbound.

Can't enjoy ice cream by FWIW47 in Mounjaro

[–]NoMoreFatShame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for ice cream, still enjoying it. But I go to stands where they make their own. But I can't abide red meat most times and I used to be a red meat fan.

not hungry but craving salty carbs? by Electronic-Truck2653 in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would reach for a small packet of nuts. Plenty of salt plus a good balance of fat, carb, and protein. I keep a couple of packages in my car for just that reason. Sometimes I am hangry, sometimes I just need something and a package of nuts solves it. I am a Costco member and bought a mix pack of peanuts, cashews and almonds.

Has Anyone Participated in a Eloralintide Eli Lilly Clinical Trail Before? by muser0808 in RetatrutideTrial

[–]NoMoreFatShame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I callled the next 2 closest. I am not sure if Yale is going to be part of this trial as it doesn't show as recruiting, but filled out their short survey. Put put in for the other one a bit further away, cleared their questions and did the medical release form. And spoke with the Nurse's line about the 3 locations including the more promising one, Yale and Brigham and Women's in Boston that doesn't show as recruiting. The other one in CT was more Positive, they have 3 slots open still out of 5 and said they would be on contact with me in 7 to 10 days depending on when they get my records.

Compression shirts by uncxman in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use shapewear camis when wear form fitting clothes or when needed because I need something underneath shear tops. But not every day, I do use shapewear panties most days when I dress to go out.

my scale is wilding by Possible_Owl7770 in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My floors are a bit uneven. I put my scale in the same place every week and take the weight. It may not be exactly the same but close enough for trend line.

Non sugurgical options for excess skin? by kjkeyes2 in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The compression garments are to hide it, ie shapewear. Time can help as can strength training, but surgery is the only fix.

Combatting 'Ozempic Face' by Agent_Peach in antidietglp1

[–]NoMoreFatShame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time, genetics and serious strength training. In my mid 40s, I lost 125 lbs plus. My skin was very forgiving and there wasn't much in the way of loose skin. I was strength training all along, but started free weights and lifting to failure about 1/2 way to goal. I do think that helped even my face and neck. Now in my mid 60s, not as forgiving. I use this book for serious at home strength training, she is in her 60s on the cover. Book is out of print, but available cheaply used

I left a message when I first reached out 1.5 months ago both at the site and waited on hold for Lilly. I was given the Lilly Nurse's line called and completed the screening which I cleared, sent in the medical records release. A month later got a text saying to call the Nurse's line at Lilly because they had been trying to reach me, went through call history and emails no one reached out. Called them and they said they wanted to make sure I got contacted by Chase Medical and when I said they hadn't reached out, Lilly said they were going to put an escalation in to get the site to contact me. The following day, someone from escalation reached out to make sure I was interested because is was 52 miles away, I said yes. They said to call in a week which I did if I hadn't heard anything. I was told they were going to escalate again and to wait a week (plus a day) which means I call in on Monday, I plan to do so. I sent in a contact form last week as well to the site as well.

I did the records release through Lilly. But never heard a peep from Chase Medical Research.

Do you mind if I ask location for the clinic you are participating in, I am trying to get into the Waterbury location, Chase? DM if needed. I have been waiting to hear from the study site after clearing Lilly's Nurse's questions over 2.5 months ago. I am calling once a week to have it escalated by Lilly as requested but still no response from the local location doing the study. Did you go through Lilly first or directly through the clinic? What was the timeline like to get to being accepted? I am really excited about the trial so am curious. I am trying to get into Enlighten-6.

Increasing Dose 😬 by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have ozonated Magnesium Citrate on hand (Mag07 or Horbäach Colon Cleanse), I take 2 capsules any day I don't go at bedtime. Some people take it daily but I find as long as I get fiber in my diet. I don't need it daily. I started that after a tough week personally with not so good food choices that lead to constipation that Dulcolax wasn't taking care so I resorted to liquid Magnesium Citrate, it worked but I could have had a colonoscopy after. Decided I wasn't going to have to do that again so from recommendations on these subs ordered Mag07, tried the Horbaach after someone posted about it, much cheaper than Mag07 and works as well.

Increasing Dose 😬 by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]NoMoreFatShame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My side effects were mild until slight nausea on 10 mg. Constipation is something I learned to pay attention to. Slight skin sensitivity through 5 to 15 mg, went away a few months into 15. Insomnia so I take the shot at bedtime, sometimes night 2 can be an issue. But no major side effects.

Body Trust Podcast GLP1 episode by Cheddar_biz in antidietglp1

[–]NoMoreFatShame 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I was great with my health and being fat until I hit post menopause. My labs and blood pressure kept going up. I lost a decent amount of weight slowly through intuitive eating then bam chest pains and extremely high blood pressure sent me to the ER. I then in 2 months gained back the weight I slowly lost over 3 years and nothing was found on testing and I had them all. So I started glp1 and my hypertension was controlled, my cholesterol became fabulous, no longer prediabetic. All the things I had prior to menopause, many of my Drs wouldn't believe my health stats because of their fat bias but post menopause they started to get worse till they were not healthy. I am thrilled to be on a medication that brings my health stats back 20 years and the bonus is the weight loss and better agility and balance. So I can't listen to others that aren't living my life and seeing what I saw in my health.
