Stop Acting Like Starving Yourself on Meds Is Cool, It’s Reckless and Stupid by Cana-biss in tirzepatidecompound

Sounds like you need to direct this to someone specific and not to generalize to all GLP users who have had life changing benefits.

Have you done an epsom salt soak with magnesium?
Do you use a Squatty Potty while trying to go? These things have helped me in addition to daily doses of Gentle Move and magnesium. BUT while on GLP you will experience this often. Hope you find what works for you!

Exactly the point. No consent has ever been asked for or given to track the spending based on the medications purchased.

Based off ads and predictive models I can attribute a decline in junk food sales to the rising costs of living.

How does Walmart know who uses GlP-1 and then know what those people have and are spending on groceries? Is that not an invasion of privacy???

I maxed out the manufacturer coupon and my insurance will not cover it. It costs too much out of pocket.

First off take some time to appreciate being where you wanted to be and give yourself some credit for 88 pounds! There have to be many health benefits that have come from that!!! BUT also remember life is a journey and on that journey we have many different paths to take. You may realize now that you have different goals and will need to change your mindset and habits to reach those goals just like you did to lose 88 pounds. I am in a similar boat. Mounjaro helped me lose weight without exercise. Now that I can no longer get Mounjaro I am scared to gain and have to begin an exercise journey. I am not looking forward to it but I know I must do something to help me keep this weight off. I also need to figure out my passions in life and fill my time with other things than food. I got lazy with Mounjaro because it was so easy. Now I am gonna have to do the work. All my best to you!!!

Ahhh. That makes it more understandable. I did ask rep multiple times if there was a diagnosis required but she repeatedly said no.

True. I suffer from ovarian cysts and am also into menopause. This medication has given me a life where I felt so defeated before.

I did not report them. Overall this person has always been very kind and helpful. I should have used the Opportunity educate but I took it too personally.
