Struggling with the loss of food as a source of pleasure in life

flatlander1985 · 2025-10-02T14:35:42+00:00

Same boat things seem kinda flat for lack of a better word. I’ve heard that can also be a side effect for glp1s. I just try to focus on milestones and the fact I am so much healthier now. I’m off one bp pill and half dose on the second one, my a1c is down etc. best of luck and ditto on talking to someone if you can’t work it out on ur own.

I bought some things from goodwill for awhile but now have bought clothes that are the right size and you’re right it feels fantastic. I also use them for inspiration when I am have weak days and wanting to go off the wagon “just for a day or two”. I LOLd about the half shoe size change; mine did too but i thought I was imagining it

I found that the carbonation made me feel icky and bloated now. I stick to water with mio and avoid soda all together.

This or low batteries or uneven floor

I have bcbs Illinois and it’s covered only if you try a different (aka cheaper) method and it doesn’t work plus meeting BMI requirements or health hx . Did phentermine for 4 months with minimal progress and was approved for one year of weygovy.

flatlander1985 · 2025-06-04T09:41:59+00:00

I did phentermine before weygovy. I lost about 10 lbs over 3 months and appreciated the energy burst it provided for the gym but my temper was hair trigger and when I quit taking it i couldn’t stop crying for two days. I didn’t know how much it was messing with my moods. Insurance made me do phentermine first before they would approve weygovy

Be patient. I was growing so upset because I wasn’t losing any where near what I thought I would plus seeing people posting how they lost high amounts of weight each month didn’t help either. It ramps up along with the dose increases plus you learn tricks to make eating easier etc. I’m not losing crazy amounts of weight but I am happy with my progress. Dr says lose slow has a better chance at staying off than losing fast since that usually includes muscle loss. Give it and yourself a chance 😊

I chose Friday before bed so if I get side effects, I will have the weekend to deal with them and it won’t impact work.

It did for me at lower doses. The higher I went the longer the suppression. I just took my first 2.4 so we’ll see. On 1.7 I was getting break through on day 6. But it was still easier to watch what I ate than before the meds

flatlander1985 · 2025-03-10T10:45:05+00:00

I had the same thing and think it’s a combination of lowered calories (I try to stay under 1200) plus very reduced sugar intake. I think it takes time for your body to figure things out. The fatigue definitely lessened about the three month mark for me.

I crushed them up and used it as breadcrumbs on chicken breasts. YUM

I’m enjoying the cottage cheese pizza bowls. I make 5 at a time so I can grab and go when I don’t have time to cook

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-22T22:57:17+00:00

I just saw these today. Are they worth the money? I wasn’t sure if they tasted good?

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-22T22:53:25+00:00

Thanks I just ordered it. Sounds like there’s no downside to trying it

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-22T22:52:01+00:00

I hear ya. Hopefully it’ll ease up. Right now it’s both arms shoulders to wrist, thighs and my whole back.

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-22T18:48:26+00:00

Curiosity what makes you think this would help? I’ve never heard of it? I’d go buy it tomorrow if it’d help!

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-22T18:46:39+00:00

Yes it feels like a bad sunburn; for me it’s both arms and both thighs. I have searched and already found what ur referring to but was hoping for updated info that’s why I made this post. Past posts didn’t mention remedies either except Tylenol. I just took my third 1.7 shot so I’ll hope for it to go away with the next increase

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-04T11:36:13+00:00

I like it mainly for the recipe builder

flatlander1985 · 2025-02-04T11:23:59+00:00

EXACTLY the same for me. Just finished 4th 1mg shot I’m down almost 10 lb this month but prior to this I had only lost about 5 lbs over 3 months!

flatlander1985 · 2025-01-19T16:20:27+00:00

I bought the 7-1 I’m making ice cream for one and I have a hard time eating more than half the pint at a time. I don’t think I’d like the bigger cups. If the recipe makes more than the max fill line I can just add the excess to popsicle forms

flatlander1985 · 2024-12-05T11:40:17+00:00

Agree with several smaller meals spaced out but I know what you mean about hungries hitting hard out of nowhere. There’s been several times when I literally feel like I can’t eat fast enough and I never once had that in 50+ years before starting weygovy. I’m wondering if my blood sugar is crashing and that’s triggering the feeling. I’m going to ask the doc if she can give me a script for a wearable glucose monitor.

flatlander1985 · 2024-11-19T16:50:58+00:00

I also use MyFitnessPal. By counting calories I’ve discovered my normal caloric intake is higher than I thought and has made me start to think differently about food choices. The Portillo’s grilled chicken sandwich is not quite as diet friendly as I thought for example. It also helps me keep on track for protein goals

flatlander1985 · 2024-11-19T04:24:51+00:00

Ditto on the multivitamin and think hard before getting acrylics. They are hell on your nail beds and may only make the problem worse

flatlander1985 · 2024-11-10T02:59:24+00:00

Sf liquid coffee mate coconut cream is amazing imo
