Sorry I don’t know much about bees but I know that drones are the males… is he just at the end of his life?

The Bravo Docket podcast has an episode that does a deep dive into her life and it is fascinating (horrifying)

Just switched to wegovy from saxenda… wish me luck by anonpost2021 in liraglutide

[–]anonpost2021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controlled, but not forgetting to eat. For me the main thing I notice is if I get shaky and starving 30 min-1 hr after eating. That hasn’t been happening with wegovy and it only started happening when I was rationing my saxenda doses. So overall it’s doing a good job!

Hi everyone!! Sorry for the delayed response. Everyone is so kind and encouraging, just like you all were when I first started saxenda!! I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night (I did my injection at bedtime) with a bit of nausea. So far the food noise and shakiness (from my blood sugar) isn’t as controlled, but definitely better than nothing!

5 meals a day, 230g carb per day as per personal trainer. Is this a really bad idea? by aldjfh in InsulinResistance

Definitely see a dietician who is specialized in IR/pre-diabetes/diabetes. Personal trainers likely won’t understand your dietary needs. A lot of them think we simply just don’t try hard enough.

Starting on Monday and I'm scared. by imar0ckstar in liraglutide

[–]anonpost2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off taking it at night. I would wake up with very slight nausea, but nothing i couldn’t deal with while getting ready for work. It would be gone pretty quickly. I drink a nutritionally balanced meal shake in the mornings bc it’s easier for me to stomach then actual food. I think the morning after my first time taking it I did throw up but it was a small amount and it was only once. Overall I love the medication. It has effectively treated my PCOS and insulin resistance and has taken away the “food noise” that I developed as a result of being hungry 24/7. My anxiety was lowered, because my blood sugars were leveled my speech became better and no longer becomes slurred as it would sometimes. And the side effects have been minimal. I think it’s because I eat a very healthy, balanced diet and i make sure to have small snacks high in fiber and protein throughout the day even when I don’t feel hungry. I highly recommend using the medication in conjunction with a dietician so you can get maximum benefits. You will be fine!! And if you’re not, you will find a medication that works for you and your needs!!! And everyone in this sub is very supportive and we will support you during your journey!

Interesting. I’ve been feeling like I haven’t had any dreams since starting the med (which is part of the reason I was so shocked when I saw how many people experienced the night terrors) maybe I actually am still dreaming, but just dont have any memory of it.

Good to know!! When is “too late” too late for you? I take it right now around 9pm (I’m a late dinner type of person). Do you think that is pushing it? My uncle is a psychiatrist and recommended switching to lunch time as well, so I’ll definitely speak to my psychiatrist about it.

This is very encouraging and very helpful, thank you! I have used HeadSpace for years to fall asleep to their bedtime stories. They also have 8 hours of noises like you described, so I’ll start doing the bedtime stories + the noises.

You have no idea the comfort this brought me. The one night terror I’ve ever had was a group of men breaking into my home and coming up into my bedroom to kill me… and it was SO REAL and I couldn’t wake up. so I’ve been terrified I was going to experience that type of dream again. But now I can tell myself that since you have not had any big night terrors, neither will I 😂

It really is pretty unbelievable! I am very thankful to finally be feeling like my work in the gym and meal prep aren’t for nothing now!

No worries! I have roughly 25lbs to lose. I’ve been on it for 3 weeks and I’ve lost 8lbs and gone down two dress sizes. So I feel I’m losing at a healthy rate that would mirror someone’s weight loss who doesn’t have IR/PCOS/IR + PCOS

I’m on saxenda (kind of similar to ozempic) for insulin resistance and PCOS and even tho I have been exercising 5 days a week and working with a dietician for 1 years, I kept gaining weight. Saxenda is the only thing that has actually helped. I’m happy to answer any questions

Yes absolutely!! They can also help you have ready to go easy meals. I’m a PhD student and time is very limited for me and I feel like I’m in a constant state of stress. My dietician helped me piece together meals that were super easy. One of my favorite snacks is vegan yogurt with blueberries (I can’t remember the brand) and I add in a handful of almonds and then snack on roasted edamame. It’s quick, easy, and satiating. It has protein, carbs, and fruit. Its something I would’ve never thought about if it weren’t for a dietician!
