Westchester isn’t that far away!

Westchester isn’t that far away!

I always assumed that Westchester was some place faaaar far away… like Ross was willing to date someone from Poughkeepsie and they made a big deal about it.

So the way everyone cried or was upset with Westchester I always assumed it was further away — like 3-4 hours.

Turns out it’s just only an hour!
I travel that far to get to work everyday! 😂

They could’ve made the trip every other weekend really. 😁

Feel sorry for people buying stocks of beauty aggregators that know how to waste money! 5ml freebie delivered as a separate courier!

It’s not just Nykaa. It’s TIRA too.

Also, unlike Nykaa which is available for 60 mins delivery on my pin code in Mumbai, TIRA took 4 whole days.

If you’re going to take 4 days — might as well put everything together!!

It came via Bluedart. So not exactly cheap delivery costs either 🤷‍♀️

What do you eat in a day on GLP1? Community discourse. Let’s share to help and get helped!

Lots of Youtube videos on the same topic show people abroad eating crackers, turkey slices, cucumbers or processed ”high protein“ foods!

So as an Indian community (not necessarily only Indian cuisine) let’s share what we’re eating — all your breakfast options, lunch, snacks and dinner!

Maybe this can help others and help you too!

Suppressed hunger and nausea but also hungry and acidity— catch 22 situation.

Since childhood I’ve been unable to eat breakfast immediately upon waking. Fruits, maybe. But anything solid like eggs, poha, upma, etc — nope.

And with Mounjaro, the morning hunger is all the more suppressed.

I’m unable to put any food down till 2pm at least.
Which is causing acidity and headaches 🥺

You know that feeling (before GLP1) when you are so beyond the point of hunger that when you eat (even your normal portion) you don’t feel satiated? And feels like you didn’t eat at all? Yea. That’s happening.

I’m still eating 1500-1700 calories per day.

But would like to know any of you have recommendations on breakfast and eating despite the nausea/ fullness! 🙈

Thanks!

Update: Betta salt bath shock!

Posted here yesterday about my betta going into shock, mouth wide open as though stuck and laying motionless for hours. Wouldn’t budge if I put a finger or blood worms in front of him. I was devastated! 😭

- I set up a hospital tank (bucket) next to my bed to keep an eye on him. Bless my husband for agreeing to sleep with the sponge filter’s awful motor buzzing all night.

- I woke up through the night to check on him and he was still motionless for 7+ hrs by now.

- At 4am - I found him deep inside his cave 0 movement, I didn’t have the heart to check if he had passed. I told myself I’ll let my husband check in the morning. 😭

- I woke up to this picture. 😭

My husband woke up and found my betta looking at me. ♥️♥️

He rushed to check in on him and he was swimming. 🥹

I never knew I could love a fish so much. ♥️
I will do better, promise 🤞

Betta salt bath shock. Urgent care please!

Attaching before (2 hours ago) and after (now) video.

Treated betta to a salt bath. 1/2 + 1/4th tsp aquarium salt : 1 litre of water for 10 mins.

And I found my bettas mouth wide open just above the surface of water. So I quickly moved it back to the hospital tank where it lay motionless and with its mouth wide open as though stuck.

**Please tell me what do I do!! 😭 **

History:
- Betta has had fin rot for a 2 months now and been in hospital tank with 50% water change every 48 hours
- I tried treating with salt baths a couple of times. No issues ever.
- When it didn’t get better, I took him to the vet
- Vet prescribed an antibiotic medicine soak (7 days) + epsom salt (till recovery)
- This was a few weeks ago. Since the fin rot still didn’t get better, I treated with a salt bath today.

First 2 hours I couldn’t tell if he was breathing or not cause his fins were clamped tightly against his body. He’s now moving fins every now and then but hasn’t moved from that spot in 3+ hours.

I have cried and then some more!! 😭 this betta is my everything! I hope I didn’t do anything to hurt him. Please tell me how to save him!! 🙏

All my parameters are 0, did my tank cycle at all?

Tank has been cycling since May 2026. I did a dark start method and have since cleared 50% water 2-3 times.

- added old tanks filter media
- added bottled beneficial bacteria
- ghost fed 2-3 times
- added 20-30% old tanks mature water. Once for sure. Can’t remember if I did it twice.
- cleaned the tank after a month yesterday. Removed all plant melt. Found a couple of detritus worms.

Is my tank cycled at all? Can I add my fish?

.

Tank specs:
- 60 litres
- HOB canister filter
- ADA aquasoil capped with sand
- No heater as room temperature and water is ~26-28 degrees Celsius x 365 days.

Thank you! :)

Newbie Questions Please Help

(Posting on behalf of u/Local-Reference-7291 as they don’t have enough karma to post here)

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Northern Europe and my doctor has recommended that I start Mounjaro. Unfortunately, I have to pay completely out of pocket here, and the cost is around 5x higher than in India. Because of that, I’m planning to purchase about a 6-month supply in India, and my brother will be visiting me soon and can bring it with him (along with my prescription).

I was hoping to get some advice from people who have experience with this:

  1. Can anyone recommend a good Indian GLP-1/fitness coach or nutritionist who understands Indian vegetarian meals and can help me throughout my Mounjaro journey?
  2. Any recommendations for an Indian doctor who offers online consultations and is knowledgeable about GLP-1s? My doctor here is supportive, but appointments are often weeks apart, so I’d like someone more accessible for routine questions.
  3. Has anyone travelled internationally with 4-5 Mounjaro KwikPens? Were they carried in hand luggage or checked baggage? Any tips for keeping them at the correct temperature during a long flight? (I’ll have a valid prescription.)
  4. My doctor suggested buying one pen each of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, and 10 mg. However, I’ve come across discussions here about “short dosing” (using lower doses from higher-strength KwikPens). Is anyone doing this successfully? I’d love to hear your experience, any pros/cons, and whether it’s something I should discuss with my doctor before considering it.
  5. Are there any supplements, fibre products, electrolytes, protein options, or other dietary aids that you found especially useful while on Mounjaro and that are easier or cheaper to buy in India?

A bit of context: healthcare where I live is excellent for emergencies, but access to specialists is quite limited, appointments can take weeks, and many products that are easily available OTC in India either require prescriptions or aren’t readily available.
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or experiences. Thank you!

Anyone lose weight on GLP1 initially without working out?

I see a lot of posts about people losing 4-8 kgs in the first month itself. So I’m curious if it’s only through GLP or + exercise too.

Cause last 2 weeks on 2.5mg I lost 1.5 kgs without exercise. Which I think is purely from starting to eat clean.

I want to clarify, that I’m not against exercising. 😅
I just didn’t want to do everything all at once to my body as that causes plateaus quickly for me. I’m breaking it into phases:

- 2 weeks: Clean diet + increase protein. Ease into this journey. No exercise. Mindful of any side effects.
- 1+ month: Diet + exercise
- Later: Diet + exercise + intermittent fasting

Currently consuming 1500 calories and ~100 grams of protein. But the needle keeps fluctuating. Somedays I’m gaining weight; somedays losing. Net loss: 1.5 kgs.

IBS and starting Mounjaro. Any advice?

Taking my first shot tomorrow. And while I’ve read advice of most people, most people don’t have IBS. So hoping for advice from my fellow community!

- Anything you wish you knew / how to prep before starting mounjaro?

- Your experience with constipation or diarrhoea and what worked?

Thank you!

How do you solve for the “chair” effect?

I genuinely want to know what to do with clothes that have been worn out of home and thus cannot go back in the wardrobe, but neither are they ready for a wash.

Also wet towels!! 🫠

If I leave them hanging on a hook in the bathroom, it doesn’t dry because of the humidity.

Please help a girl out 🙃

Edited to add: In case anyone of you is solving for this in real life and don’t mind sharing a picture, I would absolutely love and appreciate it! 🙏

Please recommend an upscale neighbourhood/ apartment to move into in Chembur

I’m looking to move to Chembur but have no clue about the areas. Based on my requirements (not all requirements may be met, that’s okay) if you can please suggest:

- Good connectivity to highway/ bkc
- New construction <10 years
- Society preferred over standalone apartment (but not mandatory)

&gt;> What kind of rent can I expect for a 2BHK in these areas?

Even if you can recommend apartment names, I can check online if there are apartments available on rent.

And if you happen to know of any flats available, then would definitely appreciate the lead.

Thank you!

Any waterlogging on this route today? Is it safe to head out?

Has anyone stepped out today or know of anyone who has on this route?

Seen a lot of videos yesterday of road closures. But no current updates.

Also, I’m not trying to get to a mall in this rain 😆
Just approximate locations.

Thanks in advance! 🫶

Is it even legal to carry construction work at 2.30 am?

Construction noises go on all night, relentlessly for the past 1+ years.

Cops never take the complaints seriously. Society has tried several times.

Which makes me wonder, is there some law we’re unaware of that allows real estate companies to carry construction 24x7?

Betta in hospital tank since 1+ month. Is there any progress?

Unfortunately in my country we don’t have Seachem Kanaplex. So I’ve been treating him with:
- Indian almond leaves
- Salt baths once a week
- 50% water change every 48 hours
- 75% - 100% water change once a week
- He eats Artemia shrimps (they look like mysis shrimp) and Hikari micro pellets.
- Has great appetite. Swims around. Not lethargic.

History:
- Noticed his fin rot advancing quickly just a couple of days before 12th May hence moved him into a hospital tank.
- Things got worse - as you can see his blue faded away completely. But this happened after moving into hospital tank. In 15th June photos you see it’s coming back. But the pectoral fins have gone from blue to transparent :(

Is he getting better? 🥺
I’ve been trying so hard. If you guys suggest Kanaplex is still needed, I will order it from Amazon US.

Thank you 🙏
