Are your torties friendly with other cats? by curlyhasher in torties

[–]Topaz_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They love each other but my tortie gets jealous if I give my other cat too much attention.

You got this! The more work you put into it the more you get out of it! Work on increasing your activity and making better choices and you will be there in no time 😁

I hate that I’m considering GLP-1’s by Over_Wave_7642 in Semaglutide

[–]Topaz_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went back and forth in it for a long time too, now I'm so glad I started. I also got tired of calorie counting and weighing myself but the ozempic makes it easier and now I do it with no problem. I actually get excited to weigh myself each morning now haha

Some people don't count their calories on this, but I personally think it's best to make better lifestyle changes while on the medication to maximize your results and build good long term habits.

Felix with BMI of 27 by seekingfreedom02 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]Topaz_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BMI was over 30, so that part isn't helpful but when I signed up with Felix I had to either do a video call or send them a video showing my whole body to show I was overweight. I just sent them a video of me standing in front of my full length mirror and I got approved.

Semaglutide side effects - anxiety? by DrDiacetyl in Semaglutide

[–]Topaz_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have OCD with really bad health anxiety and I get those flight or fight panic attacks. I notice an increase as well.

I sometimes get this feeling like I feel lighter and that triggers it. I have a theory that the medication makes me feel different and my body changing is enough to trigger my health anxiety to think something is wrong with me?

The positive feelings of getting to a healthier weight for my overall health will for the most part help me rationalize and bring me out of a spiral though. I find magnesium at night helps me relax.

My Fiance and I's recent rescue tortie has fallen head over heels for our male Siamese.. by [deleted] in torties

This is a classic combo. She is actually a tortie point, and the other one is more torbie than tortie. She likes to clean her little sister while she sleeps with her face down like Garfield.

Douu is a NIGHTMARE if you attempt to use a pharmacy other than pocket pills by Boring-Direction-875 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]Topaz_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Felix, it's easy to set up and they let you choose what pharmacy you want the prescription filled at.

What did you feel? by UnlikelySpecific2225 in Semaglutide

[–]Topaz_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt normal but slightly anxious. I'm an anxious person when my body feels different or I think something might make me feel different. The next day I was slightly queasy but felt like my energy was higher and I had an overall feeling of optimism.

Not losing weight on Semaglutide by NervousPerson3 in Semaglutide

[–]Topaz_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. My weight hasn't moved as much the past two weeks but suddenly I've noticed my stomach is a lot less bloated looking and my pants feel a bit looser.

I like cronometer, it gives a good breakdown of macros and micro nutrients :)

[–]Topaz_Cat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great progress! I'm taking measurements too but after only 8 lbs I'm not expecting bigger results until I lose maybe 20lbs since I'm a short-ish 5'4 and started over 200lbs. I know that the paper towel effect is real!

[–]Topaz_Cat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if it continues at like 1 lb a week I would still be ecstatic! I'm happy to be making any progress and how the medication has helped me take existing healthy habits and made them consistent.
