The leash slipped out of my hand and she got hit :( I am never going to unsee it or forgive myself. 😩 Very sad. My condolences. 1 Link to comment

It slows stomach emptying so you stay fuller, longer, with less food. Some people experience nausea. Others say they just don't have cravings anymore, even when food they used to love is right in front of them. 2 4 Link to comment

lemoncake March 7 Share March 7 If she is able she should move now. Just going back to her own environment isn't going to help. I really wish the show provided a place for them to live. It seems like so many are in poverty anyway. Travel and moving are not easy if you don't have money 4 Link to comment
Hellga March 7 Share March 7 1 minute ago, MsVixen said: That's because he doesn't have enough teeth..... The way some of these poundticipants eat, teeth are a hindrance, if anything. They just shove the food in with both hands as fast as the arms will move. Had they stopped to chew carefully, they would actually feel satiated before they finished their dinner fit for five. 2 2 Link to comment

Suzywriter March 7 Share March 7 1 minute ago, sainte-chapelle said: I don’t get why Ozempic makes one thin…is it an appetite suppressant? It slows digestion and slows absorbtion, so the stomach and intestines stay full longer...like, forever. For diabetics (me) it helps our blood sugar to remain stable because we absorb our fuel more slowly. I'm sure it does other things, but that was how they got me to take it. Cravings and ravenousness disappear, too, not in the speedy, zippy, Black Beauties/Dexatrim way, but just literally disappears. It's like waking up and everything smells a little spoiled and tastes kind of like rice chex with no milk....ugh, never mind, I'll just have tea, thanks. 3 1 4 Link to comment
aliya March 7 Share March 7 1 minute ago, sainte-chapelle said: I don’t get why Ozempic makes one thin…is it an appetite suppressant? I was on it for 18 months - until I got pancreatitis. I went on it for diabetes; weight loss was a side effect. Many on O get nauseous, so they don't eat much, hence the weight loss. When they do eat, they are okay with smaller amounts. I didn't have the physical issues, but I did have what we called 'disinterest in food.' I just didn't want it. I did well, lowered my blood sugar a lot, lost weight, and had minimal issues, then got the g.d. pancreatitis and can't take any drugs from that family anymore. It's been almost a year. I was afraid I'd gain the weight back, but I still eat smaller portions and am still losing weight, slowly. My blood sugar is even better on Jardiance than it was on O, so there's that. I practically was on my knees with the endo in the hospital, begging to stay on O, tho. I've been diabetic for a long time and it was getting harder to stay in control. 5 2 3 Link to comment

Stress eating is real, people I don't know if it's true, but a friend who's a nurse said that she went on the other injectible (Monjaro or something like that), and after months on it, and spending $1700 on it, she only lost 4 lbs. She claims that since she didn't have a gallbladder, that it didn't work, but I don't know if that's true. At least Krystal's really trying. 6 Link to comment
