My current dose is 10mg, but since going on 7.5, the constipation finally found me. Going on 4 days with no poops and bought myself some magnesium citrate to try. Lemon flavor from walmart. VERY strong flavor, but not bad. Was afraid it was going to be disgustingly salty like the colonoscopy prep stuff is.
Anyway... wish my B-hole luck everyone! lol
So I've been making my cats' wet food for a couple of months now. They get kibble in the morning and the homemade and store bought wet food for dinner.
It's a pretty simple recipe. Slow cooked chicken leg quarters deboned once the meat falls off (8lb bag from walmart). dozen Eggs (added while it's still hot), beef gelatin, 3-4 tins of sardines in water, water. Puree it all together. I've tried doing it not so pureed, but they didn't seem to like the chunks.
My cats definitely prefer canned food, but with 8 cats, it would be too expensive, which is one of the reasons for the homemade stuff. Some of them like it, but it's obvious that the canned food is still preferred.
I've tried mixing canned food with the homemade but none of them liked that.
What could I add to their homemade stuff to make it more like the canned food?
As the title says, just curious if you can inject below your belly button. I have a bit of an apron so it's pretty fatty down there.
EDIT: TY everyone!!
I'm so damn frustrated at the moment bc my weight won't frickin move down!!!
Now I could be exercising, but glp1 is currently kicking my ass in the fatigue department right now (thankfully feels like it's getting better, but still a battle).
But I am counting my calories. I am weighing everything. I am measuring everything and putting it in to an app. I am eating at a deficit and my weight has not friggin moved in 3 weeks.
I should be at a point in my cycle where I'm not retaining water, yet here the heck I am. My weight jumps up like 2-4lbs, then goes right back to where it was before.
I'm eating keto. 90% of it being good whole foods. I'll sometimes have a protein shake or quest bar or sugar free jolly ranchers, but that's it. I'm barely eating dairy. And again, I'm measuring absolutely everything I use. Oil/Butter? Added. A tiny amount of veggies that I know don't even matter if I add it or not? Added. Weighing everything to the gram so it will be accurate!
Hell, bc of the appetite suppression (thankfully finally started on doses where it feels like it's working), I'm usually not eating anything until lunch time. So on top of everything I'm also intermittent fasting most days!
Just... WTF BODY. Why??
Just had a check up with my doctor last week and before it, I was so excited that I would walk my ass in there at a 180s weight, but NOPE!!
Where's my damn WHOOSH already??
So, 3rd week on 7.5mg dose (compound tirz) and I thought this was it. I thought this was the dose I was going to be able to stay at. 4th week was the same and I was thrilled!!
This is week 5. 4 days after the shot... and I can already tell that the food noise is sneaking back in when it was pretty steady the last 2 weeks at this time.
Why body? WHY??
So frustrating!!!
Curious if others went through something similar? Like you felt like the dose was finally working as intended and then suddenly it wasn't the next week? Did you stick with the dose just to make sure or did you go up?
No this isn't a freak out post wondering where my order is. I'm just curious while I wait.
Anyone that's ordered and picked Optio recently, how long did it take from when you were charged to when you got a notification that they're processing your order and it being shipped?
EDIT: Lol coincidence... I got a text earlier today (SBH Medical) saying the order was ready and about to be shipped and 40m ago got a text with tracking number. I requested the refill and paid the 75 and then was charged for the med AND got the summary for the request on 6/3 and today 6/9 got the texts from pharmacy with tracking number.
Not too shabby Optio & Pom!
Again though, I wasn't worried about it or anything. Just pure curiosity since I had seen some posts about the delayed times from more recent orders.
So I'm looking for inexpensive ways I can make an outdoor sculpture. I was thinking about trying out "papercrete" or paper mache mixed with cement to go over a foam core.
But I haven't worked with paper mache since I was little and never with cement.
After it's dried, how easy is this material to sand smooth and to I guess carve in to for detail work?
If anyone knows of a material that would be better to use that's easily purchased and inexpensive, I'm all ears.
It's not perfect but not expecting it to be for my first project.
I followed this video for measurements and how to's. I do have a sewing machine, but it's buried under junk and I was lazy so decided to just hand sew. It ended up patchwork bc she just picked out some of those precut yard length fabrics from walmart which weren't long enough so I decided to try doing the skirt this way. She's happy with it so I'm happy with it. Bought some tulle material and will attempt to make something for underneath so it flares when she's just standing.
I got a 3m supply from BPI in April. Almost finished with my first bottle so I have at least 2m worth of doses left.
With everything going on though.....
Was thinking about getting 6m worth just in case there are delays, but don't want to pay the 75$ if I'm just going to be told that it's too early to get more.
Would like to know what others are doing. If you had any problems getting more a little early or what.
So this was my 4th week on 5mg and I'm debating if I should go up in dose.
1... I've been gaining and losing the same 5lbs for the last 2 months. And it's not like I only have a few pounds to lose. I still need to lose a good 70 or so.
2... while the first 3 days after the shot are decent, food noise and my ability to eat a lot is reduced, I've found that by day 4, I can feel the food noise coming back. I still can't eat a ton, but my want to eat more is there and it's not hunger. It's just that urge to eat more.
Does it sound like I need to go up in dose?
So I was first on wegovy, then switched to compounded tirz and this is the first time I've had some weirdness going on during my period.
This is my 3rd week on 5mg. Took my shot Sunday and have felt fine. Food noise has been reduced (YAY!) considering my period started today and I'm usually a bottomless pit before it starts. So that was a pleasant surprise since hormones seemed to overpower the medications before.
But yesterday, I was SO uncomfortably bloated. Today once period started, as most women know, you have to poop a lot and today has been no exception, except that I've also had horrendously bad, paint peeling sulfur burps along with my stomach talking to me all day AND still being uncomfortably bloated.
I even took a famotidine this morning and it did nothing.
Just curious if period symptoms changed for anyone? If you had weird ones when you went up in dose and if they went back to normal after being on that dose for a while?
EDIT: The gas I had yesterday was insane. A bit tmi, but the burps stunk while the booty toots didn't.. thankfully. Still though. ALL NIGHT, I was up burping and farting. I didn't get up bc I would just go back to sleep, but still... yikes.
Thankfully looks like we have some gas tablets. Just chewed one down. Hopefully it helps.
EDIT 2: Gas tablets have failed me!! I'm so bloated/gassy and I don't understand why! My burps smell like I've been chowing down on boiled eggs, pork rinds and fried chicken. Someone send help! lol
