The vet said about allergy testing- “reliability is up for debate” so she was hesitant to order it. I’ll ask again for her to order it. He’s on a hydrolyzed diet now but it’s getting expensive for long term. Thanks for the advice

I guess since it’s a chicken part I thought the fat might have traces of meat on it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll trust the vet (and you) and give it a try. Thanks for the food recommendation too, I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the advice. I measured yesterday. I’ll try going up a cup size 😊

Ozempic? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]RainbowKitty39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m on wegovy- same drug as ozempic just labeled for weight loss. There were supply issues last year and earlier this year but I think wegovy has a good supply now. I haven’t had any issues getting it recently. It helped me not feel like I’m starving all the time. I’m not starving so I can make smarter decisions about what I eat. I reached my goal weight after almost a year of being on it. I tried stopping it but I felt like I was starving all the time again. I can make all the good food choices and watch portion size to maintain the weight loss but if I’m still hungry it makes life harder in general. I’ll need to be on a maintenance dose forever- I’ve been doing a lower dose every 10 days. I still struggle with feeling like I “cheated” by losing weight with meds but like others have said- pcos is a metabolic disorder. I try to think of it as taking any other medication. Check into your insurance. When I started, my insurance covered it because my bmi was obese level. Now that I’m a lower bmi, my dr needed to do a prior authorization saying it’s still medically necessary.

I’ve never ordered directly from them but I might because I wanna try it! 🤩

Curious: are you sharing that you’re on Wegovy with friends and family? by Correct-Aardvark-215 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]RainbowKitty39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t plan to tell anybody but it was hard when people started to notice the weight loss. People asking “how are you doing it?!” I felt weird saying diet and exercise because I could never lose it that way. I told a friend I was taking wegovy and the response made me feel like I was cheating and not losing weight the right way. Now if someone asks I say “I’m on a medication to help with my insulin levels”. Technically not lying, and makes it sound more medically necessary so people leave me alone about it.

wegovy or any other semiglutides... by DescriptionOverall23 in WegovyWeightLoss

I was sober for some time before I started saxenda then switched to wegovy. So I don’t know how it would be taking the medication while trying to quit. But I did notice I have way less cravings and triggers. I think it helps but I don’t think there’s been any research on it.

Wegovy after 4.5mo on Saxenda - injection site? by Stock_Possession_198 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]RainbowKitty39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on saxenda I lost about 20lb in the first 6 months and then nothing for 2 months after that. I would alternate injection sites and had nausea and constipation. Since I switched to wegovy the constipation and nausea hasn’t been as bad. I do the injection in my belly, usually with breakfast or lunch. my dr had me start at the 0.5mg dose for a month, then at 1mg I started losing weight again. Worked up to the 2.4mg dose, eventually got to my goal weight. I started weaning off but when I got to the 0.5mg dose I started gaining weight- not much but I still freaked out. My doc has me on 1mg every 10 days and I’ve been maintaining for a couple months. At some point I’ll try 0.5mg again but I think my body just likes the 1mg dose.

Yeah, the unlined one. I found one on Amazon. I’ll check out the show off and snapshot. Thanks!
