I thought this was just a weird unrelated craving I’ve been having but I just saw a tiktok where other people on GLP1 are experiencing this too.
All day nothing sounds appetizing and when I do get myself to eat, it’s like, meh. Not very enjoyable. BUT every single night I get an intense craving for ice cream and then it tastes like the best thing I’ve ever had. Anyone else? Is this a thing? 😂
They finally took my employee discount away.
I worked for Walgreens for about 4 years. Haven’t worked there for about 7 months and they just now got rid of my employee discount lol. It was actually super nice&convenient while it lasted but alas, I will no longer be shopping there because prices suck without that discount.
I suppose I should make it extra official by leaving this subreddit. So long, farewell, and remember that it’s not so bad if you don’t take it so seriously and if u let go of what’s out of your control.
Every single day after work I have to take a nap. Like it feels like I don’t even have a choice, my body just can’t stay awake. I’m trying to meet protein goals and everything, not drinking enough water to be totally honest. I usually feel like shit after the nap.
But alas, I am losing weight so I’ve kinda just accepted it at this point. I have an appointment with my doctor this week so I’ll see what she says.
This is normal-ish, right?
Any suggestions in Noblesville for AA meetings ??? Just moved here from Indy. I know there’s obviously The Suburban North Club and I do have the meeting finder app. But I’m wondering if anyone knows of any particularly good meetings. I’ve got lots o anxiety going to new places. So would appreciate descriptions of which door to go in, where in the building the meeting is located, if it’s easy to find, etc.
Ughhhh I feel so defeated. I’ve been on a roll feeling like I’m doing well and changing habits and losing weight slowly but surely. Doc sent a script for 9mg (was on 4) and I went to go pay for it….. $299?!!!! I can’t afford that man :(
Anyone have experience with the capstone courses??? I still have 3 terms to go before I get to mine for psych in addictions, but anyways, all of a sudden all my courses are like “MAKE SURE YOU’VE BEEN SAVING ALL OF YOUR TEXTBOOKS AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR YOUR CAPSTONE”
I was not told this up until now so definitely haven’t been saving much of anything. Am I fucked????
Why are there hardly any posts about this??? Anyone else experiencing absolutely no desire for sex since starting the pill??? I mean, I don’t enjoy much of an anything in general anymore, and I’m okay with that because I’m used to it from my psych meds but now I don’t want to have sex and I’m really upset about it. Any words of wisdom or tips to get over that? Or does it get better?? I’ve been on the pill for almost 3 months
I’ve been experimenting with different laxatives and things the past few weeks because I’m so damn constipated. Enema, suppositories, miralax, drinking fucktons of water, mag citrate, prune juice. I haven’t had a bowel movement in 17 days, except for a very small amount yesterday.
Anyways, urgent care doctor says im fine. im giving another try with mag citrate. I just chugged a whole bottle and a bunch of water.
The amount of ANXIETY I get anytime I take one of these OTC things is actually insane. Like I get so anxious because I feel like I don’t know what’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen, if it will hurt, if it will make things worse, etc.
Can anyone else relate???? I’m so horribly anxious right now not knowing what/if anything will happen from the mag citrate. I just want to poop, man :(
My cat has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box pretty much every day. I have tried adding another box, putting one box in a different room, cleaning boxes more consistently, i use an enzyme spray to clean the carpet spots and also have been using enzyme laundry detergent. I will have Feliway spray to try tomorrow.
She primarily does it on any clothing items she can find, or blankets that have fallen on the ground, and today went on my favorite slippers that I have an emotional attachment to….
ANYWAYS, my actual question:::: what else can I do in the meantime to minimize messes??? The vet can’t get her in until next Saturday and I need to find a temporary solution to minimize the damage until then because I am losing my goddamn mind and all my work clothes are being destroyed.
I am not asking for medical advice. Just suggestions of what I can do to my apartment to minimize damage
Long story short… been tracking things since February and generally go about 1 time per week. Didn’t perceive it to be much of a problem since I wasn’t experiencing discomfort or pain. Now it seems to be getting much worse.
14 days ago, I suddenly had severe cramping, feeling faint, hot/cold flashes, and was able to go. I have not gone since then… Tried MiraLax, suppositories, and magnesium citrate, increasing water intake, etc., nothing worked. Went to urgent care on day 10 and they said you’re fine try an enema. Tried that, nothing happened.
My loved ones are telling me I need to go to the ER. I feel stupid doing that since I’m not having much pain or anything. Only thing is a weird feeling in my stomach like I’m developing abs lol like the feeling u get the next day after u do a bunch of sit-ups. And lower back pain that I think is related but not 100% sure.
My PCP does not have any availability anytime soon.
If I did go to the ER, what would potentially happen??? Would they just send me home with OTC laxatives? Would they think I’m stupid for coming in since I’m not having severe pain??
Alright I’m about to go up to the 4mg pill and want to be prepared for any side effects. I really didn’t have hardly any from the 1.5. But I’m the kind of person who really struggles to function and get my job done if I feel physically uncomfortable or if I haven’t eaten enough….. so I want to make sure I’m bringing what I need to get through the days in case of side effects and lack of appetite.
So far, I’m thinking…
-Zofran
-Ibuprofen
-Gatorade
-A banana and protein shake
-Meat, cheese, crackers
What do you bring with you during your day to best support yourself ??? Any easy food ideas ??
Hello, anxious girly here who is going to force myself to start going to the gym. I’m having anxiety about not knowing what happens when I walk in??? Like, if I pay for the membership ahead of time on the app…. Do I go talk to the front desk people when I get there??? Or can I just go straight to the treadmill??? I’m planning on first going around 10pm so there will be less people there
Having a hard time overcoming the gym anxiety so I’m considering getting an exercise bike off to keep inside my home. Anyone else use one of these consistently!?
Curious how long of a drive it takes for people to get to and from work. I first moved to the Indy area about 3.5 years ago and have learned that traffic is an absolute bitch almost always. Now I’m moving to Noblesville and my commute is going to be 30-40 minutes and I’m trying to accept that and convince myself it’s worth it to be living in a nicer area
Sooooo I went to login today and noticed one of my classes is completely gone off of my current classes list. I attended the seminar last week, but failed to do the Unit 1 Discussion Board. I figured I’d be alright and will just make sure to not miss anymore assignments…. I guess not??? I guess I’m kicked out of the class??? I didn’t know that was a thing. I never received any type of email or phone call or notice that this was going to happen. I am soooo overwhelmed and stressed
How on earth do I use this coupon???! I have it clipped onto my account, I’ve never had boost before but I want to get it now. When I go to the page to purchase the subscription, it’s just the regular price. I can’t figure out how to get the coupon applied. Any suggestions?
I fear that the 1st week where I felt less junk food cravings was placebo effect or something. I’m a couple weeks in now and feel like nothing is happening. I know weight loss doesn’t happen overnight. But I’ve been eating less and also much healthier foods, and exercising. And I have not lost a single pound and been having cravings and hunger like normal.
I’m on day 5 of the 1.5 pill. The food noise really has gone away, it’s a miracle. I haven’t had fast food since I started nor have I wanted to. And the meals I’ve eaten from home, I can’t eat the whole plate. It’s kind of a strange feeling. Like I read all of these experiences beforehand so I was well aware of these effects but actually experiencing it myself, it’s just so bizarre. I have time to think logically and do productive things since I’m not obsessing over the next greasy snack….
I hope this continues and isn’t just a short lived or placebo kind of thing.
I do need to work on creating a plan to get enough calories and protein in. I don’t think I’m actually eating enough evidenced by headaches and mania when dinnertime rolls around. Open to suggestions, what do y’all eat during the day? Specifically during a work day???
My sick thinking is telling me I should be 5 pounds less by now which causes me some feelings of hopelessness and frustration. But logically of course i know weight loss takes time and consistent effort.
Just wanted to share ◡̈
