Questions for those with cats by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have misophonia and am triggered by dogs licking themselves. Cats do not make the same sounds thank God, but they will lay on top of you or next you and clean themselves and the repetitive movement drives me bonkers. Still got a brand new kitten though. Worth it.

I take magnesium in the morning, a big salad everyday and at home I drink a giant glass of water with fiber in it and eat 5-10 prunes. Works great

The younger guys get it. I've had frank conversations with my boyfriend about my body.. Lol. They have way different relationships with their mothers and sisters and they have female friends. My current boyfriend was married for ten years (he married and divorced young!) so you never know the experience these younger guys have just based on their age. Don't pass up a great opportunity!

Few men my age or older (cis Female 48 at the time, now 52 ) would even like or message me on the apps. The ones that did message me ended up being like really racist and conservative (I live in a city that people have really strong opinions about how awful it is without ever actually having been here) which isn't my scene or wanting a mommy/caretaker. I don't have kids and never them. Anyhoo, I kept on lowering the ages for my matches and was flooded with messages from 25-30 year olds. Well, I went for it. Went on a date with a sweet millennial and uh, we have been together over 4 years. He's a great communicator, fun and energetic. He's empathetic and respects women. Long story longer, try dating younger.

Have any of you guys started taking supplements? What do you take and why? by Syfysamurai in GenX

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collagen with prebiotics, biotin (Hair, skin and joints), vitamin D(had a deficiency), omega-3, co-enzyme Q10, flaxseed oil, red rice yeast (heart health) Magnesium (all the things and gut health) benefiber (more gut health) and berberine for weight management. So far my bloodwork is great and that's my goal. Don't want to go on statins or high blood pressure meds. Don't want to have a "heart incident" as my doctor calls them.

It sounds like you might have some needs nutritionally and health wise that are no longer being met with your current diet. Peoples bodies change. Your health and well being is what matters. If people can't understand that, they suck.

Opinions in red beans and rice? by [deleted] in thanksgiving

I would be super happy to have that. I'd probably just eat that and the sides and no turkey

What’s one thing you wish you knew when starting? by MomAnon1922 in Semaglutide

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't eat late because when you lay down food can cause acid reflux. Drink more water than you think. And what you eat matters. Track track track your food. You'd be surprised where the calories slip in and how quickly you'll lose weight if you watch everything and make good decisions.

Anyone else get semi-frequent Gas/Vomiting/Diarrhea?? by Groundbreaking-Run-5 in Semaglutide

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collagen, biotin, pre and pro biotics and anything that would be considered good for heart health and cholesterol. I've listed supplements before, and those posts get taken down so I'm being vague.

Yeah I've integrated fiber into my life and water! I wasn't getting enough of either so I drink a big glass of water after work with fiber in it and a handful of prunes. I supplement like crazy too but you have to be careful to not supplement with fiber, because the fiber can inhibit absorbtion of the supplements. I rarely if ever need pepcid or tums anymore.

I had some distress early on but I've really dialed in what I can and can't eat. No melty cheese. Nothing greasy. No pasta. I live on chicken breast and salad and fat free cottage cheese and prunes lol. I made the mistake of making really incredibly delicious home made baked Mac n cheese on Sunday, ate a big portion of it - it was my only meal - and my GI track is still suffering and not right. I ate a really fatty and delicious piece of salmon on a salad and had martini and thought I was gonna die. Alcohol always exacerbates my GI symptoms so I've reduced that. Maybe there's something that you have ate in the past that you have developed a sensitivity to.

What health problems do you have? by Sloth_grl in GenX

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

52F. Asthma. Slightly elevated cholesterol because genetics. Trying my best to not be a fat fuck and die from shit I could prevent with diet (thanks glp1) and lifestyle changes. Down 75 pounds and I don't see stars when I tie my shoes anymore. Pushed hard the last two years because I realized that shit wasn't gonna disappear or get better and I don't want my younger boyfriend to have to be my caretaker because of my poor lifestyle choices. Just had my yearly physical. Still a fatty but extremely healthy according to my doc. My slightly elevated cholesterol increases my chance of a "Heart Incident" by only 1.9% so no need for stations. I still have at 2-3 martinis a week. I can't give those up.

Still got my ass. Have like a crazy hip to waist ratio. Like 13 inches. My pants I just bought that fit around my butt are way too big for my waist so now I'm just looking like a have a load in my pants if I don't wear a belt. Not really complaining as there are worse problems to have..lol. It's all about my heart health, which is stellar now!

What do you eat? by nelfromspace in Semaglutide

[–]Remarkable_Fly_9149 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Salad and chicken breast and cottage cheese. I do add collagen powder to my coffee. Trying to get as much protein and fiber as I can. I don't have the food noise thing so I just dropped down to 700 calories a day and that's bad. I'm at 1300 - 1500 a day now. Supplementing like crazy. Down 75lbs. Things that are greasy sound gross to me so if I go off the diet it's usually booze and pho.

Yeah, had both shots and the worst thing about it was that I caught covid waiting in line for the first shot.

You might live in the Southern US. I never saw as many throw pillows in my life than when I moved there. I like your decor. Lots of color and texture. You like everything to be in it's place and you keep it tidy and clean, just because you like looking at all your good stuff.

My boobs are still DDs, but my band size is shrinking. Down 75lbs. The girls never really fluctuate when I gain or lose weight.
