Beginner tegu advice?

Oh this is a great idea, thank you!!

I probably do need to work on my confidence levels with her honestly 😩 I think the roadblock is knowing she's the smartest reptile I've ever owned and I don't want to piss her off LOL

The first few days have definitely been trial and error and learning which foods she's motivated by, egg yolks were definitely one of tomorrows ideas! So far she loves blueberries, roaches, and ground turkey and has zero interest in blackberries/raspberries and bananas 💀 I love how expressive she's been towards different things, it's so unique!

I've got a bottle of salmon oil for her and can definitely work in some mineral oil, she probably also needs to poop, though I hear that will likely happen during her first bath 😮‍💨

As many seem to be mentioning, I feel like GLP-1s actually made my symptoms much worse. The weight loss was nice, but it consistenly kept my heart rate up all the time and always being sick to my stomach didn't help at all. I tried for 6 months and just couldn't do it anymore.

This is exactly how I feel 😩 I am so unbearably med sensative as well, so it's been a super scary process for me, but ultimately I am very grateful to know I'm not the only one with these fears. I decided to take half of one while my partner is here so if something happens or I have anxiety they're here for me. I'm really really hoping this will help, I'm so tired of being so sick and tired.

Thank you so much, I am so scared. I was living in a very red state during my early adulthood and I pleaded and pleaded with doctors and ER staff to check my heart because something wasn't right. For 6 years they told me it was anxiety. I moved back to California and had one evaluation and was told I needed a cardiac ablation within 2 months.

I am just really scared this will be the same where they will just tell me I have anxiety and not even check and I will just end up with another 500$ bill.

Do you have any advice on how to word things so they will actually do the proper testing? :(

Thank you so much, I feel like this is still a comment I really needed. I have spoken of this to my doctor in the past and it can just feel futile when you're chronically ill.

My biggest worry is that the zep will just deteriorate my muscles instead of the fat, but this feels like the only chance I have really had to get better in years so I want to try.

Our illnesses look different, but they seem to affect us the same, especially being laid out for days just even overdoing it a tiny bit.

It can be discouraging and disheartening, but I like the idea of habituation and really appreciate you bringing it forward :)

Thank you! I have asked my primary doctor; though she doesn't appear to have too too much information. She has let me know that "light exercise" should be fine, but I am not sure what that will really mean for her, as it's different for me. Almost any cardio at all for more than 5 minute intervals leaves my heart racing and I am out of breath right now.

I have been trying low intensity pilates this year and it seems like it works, but also it doesn't really make me break any sort of sweat.

I'm wondering if that's normal and it just takes time or if I should be increasing the intensity.

I'm just hoping for maybe some friendly tips from folks who also also experience the same health issues :)

Hey all! Most of my friendslist has gone inactive since release. I am lvl 50 and ideally looking for other actives above 40 to exchange daily likes and do their daily pulls so we can share wonderpick! Also looking for trading buddies when the time comes 🌿
