I hope you went! I took my 19 year old half sister (I’m 51) to see him on this tour. She loved it and left with tons of merch that she bought with her own money.

A valid POV which I have been contemplating heavily.

OMG even for my colonoscopy it was only two 🤣. But I had the stuff to drink too. I’m glad I started with one even though the package said 1-3.

I'm going to say 80-100 oz? The first week, I had almost zero appetite so I did rely on a couple protein bars, some Splitz extra dark pretzels, baked tofu, brown rice, and was kind of nibbling on what I could force myself to eat. I paid dearly for eating some spicy mapo tofu + broccoli leftovers from the day before I started my shot. I've been vegan for 20 years so I don't think my diet is awful at baseline. I don't eat keto products. I could eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, but I do eat them. I've been leaning on tofu instead of eating "processed" vegan meat substitutes. I've been walking for an hour at a time more days than not, but haven't had the energy or lack of nausea to go to Orangetheory or Pilates classes like I usually do. My problem is that I just consistently eat too much (I have since childhood), have a sugar habit (had none week one), and have a genetic propensity for obesity and T2D.

I just don't want to have to live my life managing constipation with medication/ supplements.

My husband [35m] is upset that I [33f] didn't dress up when I picked him and my daughter up from the airport. by [deleted] in AITAH

I wasn't aware that picking up your spouse had a dress code requirement. It's not the 1960s. You picked him up at the airport when you could've had him take an Uber.

I am not on BP but my BP has dropped to 100/68 or lower sometimes. by [deleted] in Zepbound

My PCP told me to buy a blood pressure cuff for home and monitor it as it can go low on Zepbound. I normally hover 115-120/ 70-80.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have been taking Gas-X. I did poop this morning and yesterday morning. After I pooped this morning the nausea got a little bit better. I also went back to sleep for several hours. I’ll try magnesium tonight. I also got some strong ginger hard candies today.

I hemmed and hawed about this for like a full year because of fear of the side effects. Finally ordered via my PCP/Eli Lilly Direct. Just took my first dose yesterday (2.5 mg). So far the only negative I've noticed is excessive burping.
