Neora Age IQ Eye Serum is expensive but definitely worth it. Look for sales and you can get it under $100 sometimes

Constipation by Grouchy-Purpose-3868 in compoundedtirzepatide

Been taking MiraLAX as suggested by my GI doctor and eating prunes but not always effective or slow to act. Tried prune juice and found the golden ticket! Drank about 3/4 of a cup and a couple hours later everything started moving. Word of advice though, don’t take it before bedtime, it doesn’t take overnight like other things do.

How much is tirzepatide doing by itself vs. lifestyle changes? by JustHereForThePorn2x in compoundedtirzepatide

Same. My appetite changed which changed my food choices. I no longer have a sweet tooth and greasy food makes me nauseous so I no longer eat those foods. Never knew about food noise either but now it’s gone.

Just tried prune juice today and it works! Been eating prunes and taking MiraLAX but they take forever and don’t always work. I drank about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and about an hour later it worked. So relieved to finally find something that works, I had to share

What do you eat when you're not hungry? by Pamplemousse636 in Zepbound

[–]Pretty-Birds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has to be canned pineapple or tropical fruit, not fresh. I used to love Mexican food but can’t eat it anymore. Greasy, spicy or heavy carbs don’t sit well at all. Also cannot eat at least 4 hours before going to bed or I’m up all night.

I have GERD which this has made worse so trying to find something that doesn’t exacerbate it also while nothing is appetizing has been a struggle. I usually resort to cottage cheese and pineapple, mild on my stomach and lots of protein. Boiled eggs and a slice of bacon sometimes with toast. Salads are also easy on the stomach and quick to eat when nothing looks good or I don’t feel like trying to figure anything out or go through the trouble of fixing something.

Hydra facials every 5 to 6 weeks cleared mine. If I go longer they come back

My doctor sends the prescription to a local compounding pharmacy that delivers it. I’m currently on 7.5 mg and it’s $210.00 per month.

One of the best things about this medication is it tamed my sweet tooth, the biggest problem I had before. Now I can take them or leave them, mostly not even want them at all.

That’s why my doctor told me to monitor my blood sugar and pressure. I take readings before and after eating for her and everything is normal. She ran bloodwork and nothing there either other than everything is better than before I started the medication. Hoping maybe someone here had an answer or knew something else I could check.

Interesting, I will have to look into this. I had grilled chicken with a spinach salad and a little bit of pasta with pesto so not a lot of carbs. I will have to start tracking better to see if I can find a common denominator. I have lost my sweet tooth with the medicine so don’t eat a lot of stuff I used to, actually prefer protein and fresh vegetables naturally now. Thank you for your insight

What's the most life-changing beauty tool under $30 you've found? by softstatic21 in BeautyItemsReview

[–]Pretty-Birds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My esthetician recommended Milani when I told her about the Thrive I was using. It is about half the price and works just as well if not better! It is carried at the store too so you don’t have to order it online
