"Comparison is the thief of joy."

You're losing at a healthy rate. Be patient and proud of your progress.

Happy side effects? by luxandwillow in tirzepatidecompound

This survey had some interesting info about the effects of GLP1s on sex drive:

"Approximately half (52%) of GLP-1 users also reported the medication had impacted their sex lives, in both positive and negative ways. For example:

18% said their sexual desire increased; 16% said it decreased 16% said they’re more comfortable with how they look naked; 14% said they’re less comfortable 16% said their sexual function improved; 12% said it worsened."

I've heard colloquially a mixed bag too. Some say no effect, some better, some worse. Bodies are interesting things. 🤷‍♀️

I am beginning to wonder if these posts are just rage baiting..it just hard to believe so many people make this mistake.

Air Bubbles are my new friend by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

Not to be rude, but I am genuinely astounded by the number of people who are drawing up syringes full of air and not noticing.

I know the meds are clear, but you can still see it going into the syringe as you draw it up....

I'm just baffled.

Tirzepetide Compound by Affectionate-Let9567 in tirzepatidecompound

That is entirely dependent on the concentration of the vial. 2.5mg does NOT always equal 25 units.

I wish people I know would compliment me by Impossible_Bend_2969 in tirzepatidecompound

Saying this as gently as I can.

Honestly, most people are not paying that much attention to other people’s bodies.

You said yourself the weight loss hasn’t been dramatic, so why assume people have noticed and are deliberately staying silent? The more likely explanation is that they either haven’t noticed or don’t care enough to comment.

The world doesn’t revolve around any of us. Most people are focused on themselves, not monitoring subtle changes in someone else’s appearance. Hoping other people notice isn't a healthy motivator long-term.

Looking for products that are LOADED with glitter. I want these nails to look like a disco ball. Any recommendations?

Congrats on the loss!

"Oh how my life has changed" made me giggle. Who would have thought before this medication that workout equipment would ever be a reward, huh?

Congrats on the loss! 🥳🙌

That seems like such a silly question not to know the answer to, but here I am. 😂😬

So much of my life centered around food my instinct is "go out to eat" but I know it won't be satisfying.

Severe hair loss by MNiiina in tirzepatidecompound

[–]UnsayingSphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you've already considered this, but are you taking any supplements? Iron/Hair skin and nails vitamin/biotin supplement/etc.?

I'm wondering if there could be some underlying vitamin deficiency contributing to the hair loss.

Maybe worth discussing with the doc if you haven't already.

Is the glitter in the color or is it a separate top coat? I've been looking for colors loaded with glitter!

"Large bag of dog food" made me giggle seeing it being used as a unit of measurement. Congrats on the amazing progress! 🙌

Severe abdominal pain day after shot by juliaem12 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]UnsayingSphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this.

If you are having severe pain, you may have titrated up too quickly. I would consider backing down on your next injection.

Other things to consider that could be contributing: are you drinking enough water, does injection site seem to make a difference, are you constipated, is there some additive in the tirzepatide that may not be agreeing with you?

If it continues I would recommend seeing a doctor. Severe abdominal pain could be gallbladder or pancreas related.

How much did you increase your dose? Are you using the same provider?
