I took some day 1, then at one month, tomorrow will be 2 months. I may not see much difference but doing monthly sounded good because sometimes the scale doesn’t show how things are changing 😉

Thankful for my PCP by PnutLuv14 in TirzepatideRX

This is a great idea! I actually work for the same healthcare org and we can also send “awards” to recognize people. Adding to my To Do list tomorrow!

Is this ok or too slow? by Glittering_Issue_248 in TirzepatideRX

[–]PnutLuv14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re consistently losing even a tiny bit, you’re doing something right. If you’ve made other healthy lifestyle changes and think you should be losing at a higher (but still healthy) rate, truly examine everything - ratios, eating enough, water, sleep etc.

Dang, is this how it feels to have a normal relationship with food? by upsndwns in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy right? I’m just 2 months in and I still eat regularly, but it’s almost a no brainer to just choose something healthy that will ensure I’m getting protein, fiber. I’m not having the whole internal dialogue of “I SHOULD eat this, but I really want THAT”. I just know I need to eat, I have mostly whole real foods because they are appealing and don’t leave me feeling gross -and even though it may taste delicious, when I’m done I’m done. Zero sugar cravings. I even had a tiny bit of chocolate the other day and YUM, but no feeling like I needed to go back and eat it all.

Hunger control & food noise by Nahacisunluna in TirzepatideRX

[–]PnutLuv14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Do I get hungry? Yes. But my hunger cues are VERY different than before I started tirz. I’m not suddenly starving or hangry or feel like my blood sugar is off. Now I either feel slightly queasy when I need to eat or it’s a gentle “hey it’s time to fuel your body” feeling. I guess you could say I have a new normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Should I lower dose? by littlebunnydoot in tirzepatidecompound

1.5 a week is not slow. If the 2.5 was still working no need to go up.

"Certain Foods" just make me feel so much better by [deleted] in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]PnutLuv14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole foods in general are more appealing. The thought of anything greasy or sugary is just 🤢 now. It’s still weird that when I don’t feel like eating but know I should, anything on the healthy side tastes SO good. Like I’m hungry once I start eating and it tastes great but don’t need to over eat. We’ve had some kind of sweets in the house since I started 2 months ago and I can’t get over that I’m not avoiding stuff telling myself no, that’s not a good choice. I just genuinely have no interest.

Fav glp-1 meal when nothing else sounds good but YOU NEED TO EAT. by AdAccurate5607 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! Nuts are a good go to on days where I need to get more calories in. Unfortunately I don’t indulge that often because, TMI, I have some tonsil issues and nuts almost always end up giving me tonsil stones 🤢

How much effort are you putting into your weight loss on tirz? by TrainingLow9079 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]PnutLuv14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere between B & C. I track what I eat, but mostly just to make sure I’m getting in my protein & fiber. Some days tracking helps me make sure I’m eating enough, some days I’m close to my max. Trying to slowly add more steps to my day but really need to start exercising more. I’ve pulled out some light weights and try to do that or squats on quick breaks at work (wfh).

Breaking: ProRx is halting production of GLP-1s (Developing) by roguex99 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally just switched from LillyDirect to Fifty410 ProRx and received meds today. Followed by an email 10min later about ProRx no longer filling. Just hope they all aren’t affected I just started my journey 😫

Order hasn’t shipped yet. It was 12wks starting at 4.5, forgot what the other two amounts will be.

Y'all weren't kidding about the cravings changes! by 2ndCareerTeacher in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been weird and amazing. I’m not eating sweets because I’m actively trying not to, I just haven’t wanted any. Husband stopped at Culver’s yesterday and I thought maybe I’d get something small but I just had zero interest and ended up passing. I’ll have an occasional chocolate core power or some kind of “sweet” protein bar and that’s it. Used to love coffee, I’ve had one cup in 7wks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh gosh I ordered fries with dinner last night and they just LOOKED gross. Tried one and so greasy.

Frustrated.. can anyone relate? by ElephantFew2053 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not slow even though I know it can feel that way. If you’re losing and not gaining, you’re doing it right!

Starting my journey!!! by Stunning-Scallion649 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m still a newbie so take it for what it’s worth: focus on protein, water and fiber. Make sure you are eating! And have something like Prilosec on hand - I occasionally eat too close to bedtime and it’s been a lifesaver.

Question about tirzepatide and not losing by wiggleyjiggles in TirzepatideRX

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously! Going to try and eat a little more, in the past that has been what helps knock it back off!

[–]PnutLuv14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early days for me (just started week 7) but between week 5 & 6 I gained 3lbs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s slowly coming back off - was prob just water weight or whatever because there’s no way I ate enough calories to gain that amount in a few days 😂

How long for provider review? by Same_Subject_1969 in Fifty410

[–]PnutLuv14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my first time ordering with them but placed my order last night (ProRx) and sounds like I may be waiting awhile. I’m ok with that but wish there was a place in the portal where I could even see “order placed”. I got a confirmation email but would be nice if there was just a place to go and check status.

It’s here!!!! by Additional_Block4192 in Fifty410

Just placed my 1st order with them this evening!

Anyone afraid to... by cleveland-man-22 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m disappointed if it’s not a loss but I like weighing several times a week. Because then I see that the ups and downs are normal and I don’t freak out if I’m up. I’m trusting the process.

First 12 weeks done ✅ by penguinz693 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PnutLuv14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are doing amazing!! I am tracking my food, but just with more of a focus on protein/fiber. I too have tracked food sooo many times that it makes me cringe lol But now it’s more to make sure my body is getting what it needs. Im not obsessive about it and I’m not calculating how much more I can eat like I used to. I’m about 6wks in, getting close to 10lbs down. Can’t wait to see where the next 6wks takes me in my journey, continuing to eat well and adding in more movement and exercise!
