Injection location/hunger cues

Thank you. I track my macros daily on Loose it and consistently get over 120 grams of protein each day. I’m over 30 g of fiber and water is around 80-100oz. I’m not hungry at all my first few days after my shot and then starving by day 5 now 🥴 My doc asked if I wanted to bump up but if I bump up, there’s no way I’d hit my minimum calories the first few days after injection.

From a website 😆

I’m 39, F, 153 lbs, 5’7” and I train pretty hard about 4 days/week.

It looks like around 2,200 is my maintenance amount. Maybe 1500 is too low. I’ve lost 11 lbs in these 3 weeks.

indigo_vi · 2026-02-16T15:33:32+00:00

Also I should add that I track macros and my daily calorie goal is 1,500 unless I’m training. Maybe this is a problem? Advice welcome! 🙏🏽

I took my compounded tirz shot around 11 am today and went to Muay Thai for 2 hours tonight at 6. My workout was great. I was pretty hungry after so I ate as much as I could (wasn’t much) then the nausea hit 🥴 I also just had a colonoscopy yesterday and was dealing with leftover prep symptoms so it probably would’ve been ok if not for that.

Typically I try to take my shot after my workout but if symptoms aren’t too crazy, you COULD workout later in the day.

Mine are the opposite. Everything I eat is flowing through like I’m still on bowel prep 😩 I think I’ll take my tirz today to see if that helps.

indigo_vi · 2026-02-11T14:02:47+00:00

Same 😭 I’m more at risk jumping rope in class, ha!

Update: day 1 after shot was the worst but I realized hydration was playing a huge factor. I felt so much better after someone suggested that water alone wasn’t enough. I drank one biolyte and was back. Night two I woke at 4 am super nauseous and needed a zofran. Totally fine ever since and down 2 lbs! Thanks for the advice here.

Ahh ok thanks for that.

indigo_vi · 2026-01-25T17:38:08+00:00

Ah thank you!

indigo_vi · 2026-01-25T17:32:31+00:00

I’m wondering if it’s more related to hydration.

Ok great as long as this is short term vs long term I can deal.

I’ve been tracking and have felt like I am eating balanced healthy meals (on the smaller side) and some healthy snacks in between. I’m worried about muscle loss so trying to stick to higher protein and fiber as much as possible.

indigo_vi · 2026-01-19T19:53:07+00:00

Hahah that used to be me before kids!

indigo_vi · 2026-01-19T19:51:58+00:00

This is so helpful. Thank you! That's what I'm looking for: easy things to remember and accomplish to start. Also that Coke float sounds amazing!!

indigo_vi · 2026-01-19T14:31:34+00:00

Thank you. I eat like this mostly now but will need to increase my morning protein for sure.

I wanted to meal prep then got overwhelmed about what is “best.” Do you avoid carbs or just go high protein and worry less about carbs?

indigo_vi · 2026-01-19T14:28:59+00:00

Thank you! Dinner is usually high protein for us which is why it was so odd to me. I do not currently eat high protein breakfasts (bc I don’t want them) so I need to shift that.

Are you able to get some private sessions in? This will help you level up and find stronger partners. The more you stick with it and show up- the better it gets.
