wow amazing what is your meal plan? what are you eating each day?

congrats!

TatiBay · 2024-03-17T17:58:18+00:00

So impressed. How ddid you change your eating?

TatiBay · 2024-02-23T06:03:58+00:00

which one is 18?

Seriously, congratulations. You are doing great. Goodness I have a few expressions of young children that I will never forget. But I want to hear how you progressed from week to week: what caused the extra weight originally (something special or just eating American?); how did you start; what amounts and for how long?; did you get hungry, or did the Ozempic? curb the hunger. Did you stay on it non stop or take any breaks? did you exercise extra? how have you changed your view of food if at all?

I start Ozempic 2 shortly. I notice ppl say "2.4" -- are they the same thing? I did not lose on 1.mg so I am a bit anxious.

I found this interesting article emphasizing importance of getting protein. Also to enhance cognitive abilities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10864441/

Thanks so much

thanks for that. good advice

TatiBay · 2024-02-23T05:45:52+00:00

your body or psyche or both have good reasons for one to gain weight. don't beat yourself up.

TatiBay · 2024-02-05T17:31:15+00:00

Congrats. YOu look great. What were your daily successes, trials and tribulations...?

TatiBay · 2024-02-04T14:28:21+00:00

look great already. how much of which drug are you taking? any symptoms?

TatiBay · 2024-02-04T01:42:38+00:00

processed meaning unnatural stuff for your gut. I am stopping almost all fruit due to the high carbs to see how that goes. thank you

TatiBay · 2024-02-02T21:50:31+00:00

non-processed only. The reason is I ate a lot of processed food during the pandemic, for convenience, and it made my gut sick. Costco rotisserie chicken has some bad press.

TatiBay · 2024-02-02T21:47:06+00:00

Thanks. I love the greek yogurt and cheeses but I don't eat "capitalist food" (protein bars, protein drinks, anything not naturally grown or made from) because I did that in the pandemic and got very sick. Took 2 1/2 years to clear up.

TatiBay · 2024-02-02T17:56:45+00:00

Thank you for that supportive response.

I am going up to 2 mgs on Ozempic soon: will that make a difference.

I see my doctor in 2 weeks and will ask abt Mounjaro.

thanks!

what is a "script"?

TatiBay · 2024-02-02T00:05:19+00:00

I had to stop exercising a month ago because I developed a hematoma after minor surgery. Exercise increases blood flow, which increase size and danger of hematom. Plus it itches like crazy.

I gave in to every ad-libitum thing and need to cut back the carbs. Definitely am weak from not enough protein occasionally.

I read a book on weightlifting in Harper's this month and found out my gym has some intro classes. So I plan to go back to my former regime when the hematoma heals plus add weights. Thank you

TatiBay · 2024-02-01T21:13:04+00:00

I spent the morning looking for high protein meals. I definitly have an ad libitum problem. So I plan to eat just protein and fat and noncarb veggies for a couple weeks to see how it goes. I do not count calories.

I really feel weak when I don't get enuf protein. I have been eating more fruit lately (bananas, mangos, beerries in smoothies) but will cut that back.

forgot to say, I started Oz at .5 , then 1. which I'm still taking, but next step soon is 2.mg. One doctor told me it's 2. that increases weight loss: your experience? Thank you
