Thanks, Carrie! 👋🥰❤️
This is like amazing. These tips are SPOT On!!!!
Thank you so much. 💓
Thanks for this explanation, so much has been clarified
I'm glad you found it helpful, Elizabeth. ❤️🥰
Good advice..hadn't caught up on your videos, but girl you've done amazing job on the weight loss. Can really see the conture of your face now. Just starting my 2nd week on 2.5. You're my inspiration. 😊
Thanks so much, Micaela. Y'all inspire me to keep going every day. ❤️
You have such a pleasant voice. Thank you for breaking this down for us. New member gained. ❤
Thanks so much for your support, Cassandra. Welcome to the fam! 🥰❤️
Thank you for this. And you are doing an amazing job.
Thanks, Jan. 🥰
Congratulations Sis! 🙌🏽🎉🤗
Thank you! 🥰
Hey Mindy! I started on saxenda in October 2021, and am at about the same lost as you! How incredible and great job!
That's awesome, Lisa!! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment! ❤️🥰
Yes please, I would like you to do a video between a dietician vs a nutritionist. Thanks! Great video.
Thanks, Michelle! 🥰
Hi Mindy. You look great! Hope things are going well.
Thanks, Debra! Hope all is well with you too. 🥰
Super informative!!!
Thanks, Elizabeth! ❤️
Thanks for another good video!!
Thanks for watching, Valerie! ❤️
Yes, would love a video on the difference between nutritionist and dietitian
You got it, dude! ❤️🥰
So glad to see you .i have lisend to you, going to start taking probiotics, constipation still a probblem, next week final shot of 5'5/
I hope it helps. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips. I did not know what to expect when I started. My husband suggested to check Reddit and they have some good groups for all types of GLP-1 with or without diabetes. I learned from personal experience how important hydration is. I agree... sippy sippy! I did not have insurance issues in the start but I did when my insurance renewed and needed a new preauthorization so it delayed my refills. Learning about food noise also helped. Great video. It is videos like this that help me and hope others find it helpful, too.
Thanks, Alexcia. I'm so glad you found it helpful! The more info, the better. 🥰❤️
This is a life style!! I am already losing. 1 lb a week but it’s very hard for me and I eat healthy, but I am so grateful for the gym!
Indeed! The people who label it "the easy way out" have no concept of the reality we face. Keep up the amazing work! ❤️
I am set to take my 3rd Wegovy shot today. Ive lost 8 lbs. The side effects have been brutal. You have done so well. You are an inspiration
I'm so sorry to hear about the side effects. Did they start you on the 0.25mg? I ask because some doctors will skip doses for some unknown reason and it really messes with people.
I would also suggest staying on the lower doses until your side effects improve and/or weight loss subsides. (Another thing to talk to your Doc about)
Thank you and congratulations ❤
🥰❤️
you are one of the best videos i have seen......so true about the constipation..... i am finding i have major acid reflux....i just don't know what to eat....
Hey Deborah,
I'm sorry to hear about your reflux... it's a fairly common side effect from what I hear. In regard to eating... I take a moderation approach... I watch my calories and make sure I get at least 30% of my calories from protein but other than that I pretty much eat what I want. It's served me well thus far and kept me from binging/relapsing for the most part. The most important thing is to find something you can stick with... because no matter how quickly you lose weight if you can't maintain the diet... it doesn't work. ❤️
Hey Mindy! ❤ watching now 😊 -Becca
👋❤️🥰
Hi Mindy you are absolutely lovely! You have a sweet, welcoming personality & very informative. I had gastric bypass 24 years ago. Now with menopause & eating noise I started Ozempic 7 weeks ago. Lost 16 pounds but have to stop because of surgery coming up. I will be watching more of your videos for inspiration. Thank you for all you do here to help others :)
Thanks so much for the lovely compliments, Cathy. I hope your surgery goes well and you heal quickly! 💗
I wish I had a link. Watched a clip by a bariatric surgeon. He said he sees people with certain types of bypass sur. have sections of their small intestine turning grey and dying.
He's now seeing the same thing with people just on Ozempic alone.
At taping he had 2 patients in ICU, and one other somewhere in the hospital. All only on Oz.
He said to be very careful. Especially if you are doing both.
I'll post the link if I find it.
@swampholler I wouldn't be surprised if it was from malnutrition... A LOT of people on these drugs do not consume enough calories. I am extremely careful to make sure I am not doing irreparable harm to my body and metabolism through this process, and I'm often accused of eating too much by viewers when I'm often eating less than I should. 🤷♀️
You look great Mindy!
Thanks so much. 💜
Thank you gor this overview. I'm on mj 7.5 insurance no longer covering copay , went from 25 to $500 I've lost 30 lbs but was already intermittent fasting and food combining
I'm sorry to hear your insurance coverage changed. Great job on the weight loss!! 👏
Hello, thank you for the information. I just found your channel and app the information you shared. I am in the early stages of wanting to try this method to weight loss . Need to talk to my Dr. And find out if my insurance will cover any of it. Look forward to following you.😊
Welcome to the channel, Carlie! I'm so excited for you. I hope everything goes well with your Doctor! ❤️
It's nice to hear from someone that is actually on this journey. There's people out there that judge us for taking the easy way out. It's not all about the drug as you said. It's about the food intake and the physical activities we do.
I'm 8 weeks into my journey and I'm very pleased with the results and what I'm learning along the way.
Keep up the good "work". That's how we become successful. 😊
Hey Lu,
We've got to stick together. Those of us who have lived this know there's nothing easy about losing weight this way. (Or any way really) We choose our hard. I just ignore the haters and keep doing what I know is working for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 🥰❤️
@@mindypweightloss I actually completely gave up. I have a bad back and refuse to have surgery. I've tried everything. Nerve pills, injections and physical therapy. Nothing touched it. So that's the reason for Mounjaro. Lose weight and pray is helps my nerve pain. I'm type2 so it is helping that as well.
I've given up more than once in my life. I hope this gives you the strength to keep going. ❤️
@@mindypweightloss inspiration , you are! 🩷🎉
I had very little issues and as far as I’m concerned Mounjaro is a Godsend.
It absolutely is. I just want to make sure people approach any GLP1 with proper expectations. Many medical practitioners aren't giving any advice when prescribing these drugs and it can be frustrating.
Your hair is looking very healthy Mindy 😊 I really like your top! May I ask where you got it?
Thanks, Yvonne! The top is a dress I got from Walmart, probably 5 or more years ago, that is now 4 sizes too big, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Lol.
Thanks!
Thanks for the love, Annette. ❤️🥰
Hello! Good blog! Its true that you actually have to eat to lose weight. What you eat matters.
PREACH! ❤️💋
Hey Mindy🎉
Hi, LaShea! 🥰❤️
Hi 👋 thank you
👋❤️
Always enjoy your video! I am just about out of the 320s! I have lost 118 total now! I am up to 1200-1400 a day now
So happy for you, Jimmy!! 🥰❤️
@@mindypweightloss thank you! The weight loss has slowed down a lot! I guess this is normal! I am trying to get one more box of 15 mg this month before my coupon expires, after that I go on Oz I wonder what dosage the doctor will start me on? Stay tuned!
@jimmycasey6400 keep us updated! ❤️
@@mindypweightloss it appears that no one has 15 mg! Heck no one has 12.5! So I guess I will go to this last box and then switch to Oz! I am just over this drama and the hunt of trying to locate this medicine
@jimmycasey6400 you're not the only one, Jimmy. Have you tried Costco and Sam's Club? You don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy and I've heard they often have stock.
Hi, I am 3 weeks into my Mounjaro journey. I have found your channel to be extremely helpful accurate and informative. Thank you . One side effect I haven't heard anyone mention is tooth pain. Are you familiar with people experiencing tooth pain?
Thank you in advance.
Hey Roslyn,
Welcome to the channel. That's a new one on me. It doesn't mean there aren't others that have experienced it, though. Feel free to join my Discord. We have a side effect forum where people are pretty active. ❤️
You look good and thanks for sharing your journey with us . Your hair also looks good what are you using for hair growth ?
Hey Marinas,
I've continued my same regimen from my original hair loss video. I've recently added a hair oil but haven't been using it long enough for it to be effective.
I will have to go back to your videos and see what you are using
GREAT video! Thanks for being so real. I am curious about nausea. Were you nauseated when you first started? I am at 12 weeks and on 7.5mg. The first 2 days after the shot I am horribly nauseated. Were you and if so, how long did it last?
Hey Jenn,
I was lucky not to experience any nausea. I'm not sure why... it seems so completely random as to who it affects and how. Feel free to join my Discord to talk to others and see what has worked for them. ❤️
Hi Mindy, very educational video, Im having such a difficult time eating enough calories and Im on 1200
Hey Judy,
The only way I'm able to get calories in is to schedule 3 small protein centered meals a day and eat on a clock. I also have a protein heavy dessert of some kind (these days, usually a Creami) that I eat around 8:30pm. That allows me to hit my calorie goal... but if I wait to feel hungry, I would NEVER get my calories in. ❤️
I have not heard you talk about your hair regrowth lately. Are some of the products making a difference? My hair is falling out like crazy lately. I have been on Mounjaro since last September and am down 60 pounds and holding, but my diabetes is controlled now. Doctor is happy with my progress. Thanks for your well researched and uplifting videos.
I'm still doing everything I was doing in my original hair loss video, and I'm definitely seeing regrowth. The BIGGEST difference is my protein intake, and I'm convinced that is what has made the change. ❤️
I will definitely be doing an update soon because a lot of people have been asking. ❤️
Nutrafol helps.
So.... I thought I was just getting older and constipation is life now lol. I'm not happy for those that are also dealing with it but I'm happy to know it's something related to my medication. I will have to be more proactive about this. I've been taking mounjaro for 5 months and am down 35lbs. My goal is to lose a total of 100.
Glad I stumbled on your channel while looking into possibly doing the injection on my thigh because I'm suddenly getting a super crazy itchy spot on my tummy at the injection site. Idk if others are getting that too but if there's advice on helping relieve that itch I'm open to it. I've tried a prescription hydrocortisone cream and it's not helping.
I used Benadryl gel at the prompting of one of my lovely nurse subscribers, and it did the trick for me. You have to reapply several times, but it's worth it to get the itching to go away. ❤️
Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!
@@mindypweightloss thank you. I will try that ❤️
You have the most beautiful smile!
What a lovely thing to say. Thanks so much, Alexia. 🥰
Been on mounjaro since Oct and I’ve had zero side effects beyond a mild headache once in a while a day or two after injection. I was healthy before. Lost 72lbs on my own. Workout vigorously 5-6 days a week. Eat mostly healthy. I think if you’re unhealthy and go into this it makes a difference. Never had constipation once.
You are extremely fortunate not to have constipation. You may be the first person I've heard from that hasn't. Personally I had been on Wegovy for 6 months and had already lost 65lbs before starting Mounjaro so I'm not sure what the qualifier is for "being healthy" but most people that are starting these drugs are either Obese or T2D so, they won't be healthy if their doctor is prescribing these medications.
@@mindypweightloss started 3 months ago “healthy” blood work wise but still 345lbs only side effect I’ve had is being extremely thirsty…
@absolutelyjolly4925 I totally get you on being "healthy" aside from the weight... it was a pain point for all of my doctors. Any time they would do blood work, they would be disappointed because they were hoping to scare me into losing weight with some terrible looming diagnosis. Ultimately I just needed to be ready to make the change. I hope this helps you make the shift too. ❤️🥰
I am on week 5 and I have not been constipated at all. But I have had heartburn though.
Here’s your gold star ⭐️
Hi my beautyful Mindy
Hi Anna! ❤️
I knew I wasn’t suppose to eat this. My doctor warned me. But I had to have some Popeyes. I tested the limits. I experienced the worst case of gerd and constipation. never again!!! Mounjaro has really affected my appetite
Hey Jessica,
I'm sorry you had that reaction. Everyone is different. I occasionally have Tumble 22, which is a Nashville Hot Fried Chicken style restaurant here in Texas, and I don't have any reactions to it at all. I make sure I plan for it, and I have enough calories, but other than that, I'm Gucci. ❤️
Thanks for this video! I’m on wegovy and have lost a total of 34 lbs (some on wegovy some before it). I’m waiting on a 1.0 dose. Hoping it comes in to my pharmacy. My mini goal is to move from an obese bmi to an overweight bmi.
That's awesome, Natalie! I hope to get there too someday. I have much smaller goals in the in-between. My most immediate goals have more to do with habits than the number on the scale. Once this 12-week cut is done (next week), my first goal is to increase to 7500 steps a day and maintain for 4 weeks to give my body a break. ❤️
Kudos
🥰❤️
I literally use an app to track my "movements". Also, a Weird thing I've noticed lately is that i might just experience some gas (like, more than normal, where it is like hmmm thats the third time I tooted in the last 10 minutes) and if I just go to the restroom and "try" something happens. 😊
Lol. At first I was like... I have a fitbit too!! Then I realized... THOSE movements. 🤣🤣🤣
@@mindypweightloss LOL LOL 😂😂😂
This is so helpful. Do you plan to take GLPs forever?
I don't. My hope is to instill healthy habits that will help me to maintain. I'm taking my time losing the weight and taking maintenance breaks to learn how. ❤️
@@mindypweightloss Awesome, thank you. I hear from others here that they might have to take it forever and that’s what scares me. I’d love to learn more about the maintenance breaks
@yensounta6501 check out this video. I go over it in a lot more detail. ❤️
ua-cam.com/video/rQIX1d9Zdoc/v-deo.htmlsi=v4D7jvAQMPu5gOg9
I would like to hear about the difference of nutritionist and dietitian
👍🥰
I am so lucky as my insurance covers my Wegovy. I only pay $20.00 every 4 weeks. Only 10 pounds from my goal. Thank goodness I have all of the strengths up to 2.4mg in my refrigerator now so not worried about it not being available. I know I am lucky.
That's amazing, Cathy. I'm hopeful that I'll eventually get insurance that will cover it as well. ❤️
❤❤❤

Doctors recommend magnesium citrate for constipation
Magnesium Citrate is recommended to treat severe constipation. When I was impacted, it was what my doctor told me to take, and I couldn't leave the bathroom for 24 hours. Magnesium Glycinate is recommended as much more gentle preventative to take on a daily basis and has several other positive benefits.
On Ozempic over 2 yrs but just had the worst case of constipation ever. It's no joke. Will be restocking laxatives.
I'm sorry to hear that, friend. Hope you get some relief soon!
Me Too.
Is your strawberry fluff recipe gluten free? Also for your spreadsheet can you adjust for the number of calories you are eating? I’m targeting 1400 now thx
Hey Leslie,
The spreadsheet has instructions on the "Start here" page for how to calculate and change your calorie settings.
As for the Strawberry Fluff recipe, I'm not aware of any ingredients that would have gluten, but since I'm not gluten-free, that's not something I know to watch out for. It just uses cottage cheese, SF jello, strawberries, pistachios, and whipped topping, so as long as you can get GF versions of all of those, it should be.
I just found your videos and i just have to say thank you. I started Mounjaro 6 months ago and have lost 40+ lbs already. You didnt say much about gas. I get really bad gas and super nasty burping. Is there something anyone has found to stop the gas. Pkease help it is bad.
Welcome to the channel! ❤️ Gas is a super common side effect but not one I've had to deal with. Feel free to join my Discord group as we have a side effects chat, and people are really responsive there. There's a link in the description. ❤️
Hi Mindy!!! I'm starting semaglutide along with you. Does your doc want you to fast 16:8 while on semaglutide?
Hey lady,
There aren't any diet requirements with any GLP medications. I am not a fan of trying to combine IF with GLPs because it's already difficult for me to get enough calories in without further restricting my calorie window.
There's really no magic behind IF other than that, it's another way to restrict your calories by limiting the amount of time you eat in a day. ❤️
Hi
👋😘
I’ve lost 30 pounds and my A1C was 5.2 non diabetic level… but I’m sure if I wasn’t taking this it would go back up 🙃 and I like that my clothes are too big 😅
That's understandable, Kelly!! ❤️🤪
How can I join your discord group ?
Thank you 🙏🏼
The link to my Discord group is in the video description. ❤️

Hey Mindy do you know there using your pics?
Who is using my pics?
Is it safe to take magnesium for constipation everyday?
Glycinate is safe to take daily (under care of your physician). Mag Citrate is a laxative, and you should not take it daily. ❤️
I think you are great! I just went down from 12.5 to 10 because I was having trouble sleeping. Boy was this 10 mg loaded i couldn't eat or drink anything so much gas bloating and this was doing a step down. And little to no side effects from monjero? Any thoughts/ suggestions from anyone? Please and thank you
Hey Jeffrey,
I realized after I stopped MJ that I was also experiencing a LOT of gas and bloating... I'm almost positive it was a result of constipation. Even though I was extremely proactive about it, I was still struggling. Backed up stools cause massive amounts of gas in your intestinal tract... it is definitely something to discuss with your doctor if you are that uncomfortable. I hope you get some relief soon!!
@@mindypweightloss Thank you Mindy and thank you for getting back to me . But like I said I had done pretty good on monjero and never really had issues with constipation and going down to 10 mg this was a first for me. But I certainly applaud you on how good you have done but I don't think I knew that you went off monjero? You are definitely a sweet soul and gsve me a lot of hope with monjero.
@@jeffreyj3906 I had to stop taking Mounjaro when the coupon ran out in June. I switched back to Semaglutide.
Constplation. Can’t you use the pink pill laxatives ? A morning salt flush could help.
I do my best not to use laxatives except as a last possible resort. I take probiotics and magnesium Glycinate as a daily preventative, and they do the job relatively well except when I don't stay on top of my water intake (or I forget to take one).
@@mindypweightloss I’m sure you’ve never heard of Henry’s internal cleanse. Could be a good thing to take daily.
Hello,
I’m on Tirzepatide and are loosing crazy amounts of hair. I’m so worried 😞
Can you give me some advice? Please.
I have lost 60 lbs but worried about this awful side effect. Thank you ❤
Hey Betty,
Most people are confident that the hair loss is a result of rapid weight loss, not the drugs themselves.
I have a video specifically about my hair loss, and since I started implementing those changes last year and my hair loss has improved significantly.
The MOST important thing is protein intake. I recommend 20-30% of your caloric intake (provided you don't have any medical issues that would prohibit that).
Weight loss can be extremely stressful on your body. Make sure you are giving it the support it needs. ❤️🥰
I thought dietitians and nutritionists were the same. What is the difference? Thanks for sharing.
Hey Carolyn,
They definitely aren't the same. I'll be working on a video to explain some of the differences. ❤️
Mindy, my friend! It sux to lose two weeks - losing weight that took only 2 days to put on! Right?! Grrr. You meals look yummy for this week. Hubby is on week 3 and has 1 more week of 2.4 Saxenda before graduating to 3.0 full dose. He gets his through the VA, so we are lucky there for cost, but not the REASON he gets it free from there. 😉 Anyway, the side affects are real for him. He has had pretty extreme exhaustion, lots of flu type aches and pains and now he is having trouble sleeping all the way through the night. But as his dose has increased, his side affects have decreased. Now he mostly just has the sleeping issue. Has lost 13 pounds in 3 weeks too.
Sorry to hear your hubby is having such a hard time. Most of the feedback I've heard about Saxenda includes more side effects. 😔
@@mindypweightloss Thanks! The good news is that as he is progressing his dose (currently at 2.4) toward the optimum dose of 3.0, his side effects are less and less.
Hi Mindy have you heard the news today about the lawsuits Novo-Nordisk filed today? How do you find out if your compound is FDA approved? I know that’s not a requirement. I am just curious to see how this all pans out.
Hey Sandra,
I haven't heard about the lawsuits... I'll have to look into it. Compounds are not under the purview of the FDA or approved by them. Compound pharmacies are governed by the state, and local pharmacies do have to send their compounds for testing. However, the online peptide distributors I mentioned in the video do not because those Peptides are intended for research purposes (not intended for human use). So I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were being sued by Novo.
So I did a quick Google search... the lawsuit is against weightloss clinics that are selling compounds made with semaglutide sodium or semaglutide acetate, which is NOT the same active ingredient... and they are marketing it as Wegovy or Ozempic. That ingredient is ineffective at helping with weight loss, so it's giving people the impression that they are trying Wegovy or Ozempic and it isn't working.
Regardless, “Novo Nordisk is the sole patent holder of semaglutide and does not sell that ingredient to outside entities. It's unclear what the spas and clinics are actually selling to consumers.” This I was I am referring to.
That is true, but when the FDA declares a shortage, the ingredient is opened up to compounding pharmacies so that people who "need" the drugs are still able to get them. It's one of the many reasons why compounding pharmacies exist. Everything I was able to read said that the only clinics Novo was going after were the ones selling the Semaglutide sodium and marketing it as Wegovy/Ozempic.
@@mindypweightlossThis is correct California has done this no compounding allowed. Cease and desist letters were sent out to compounding pharmacies. You can get the drug in raw form with rx nothing else added
Is anyone having trouble sleeping with a higher dosage or monjero? 10 mg
Hey Jeffery,
Insomnia is a fairly common side effect on Mounjaro. I take a natural sleep aid that works wonders for me. You're welcome to check it out if you like. It's called Stellace. I also have a discount code (MINDY10) that will take 10% off of the price for you.

Hi, I just started 7.5 the mounjrao...I had a oily poop..is this normal?
Hey Max,
That isn't something I've experienced. You may want to check with your doctor on that one. ❤️
I live in Texas. does Walgreens carry the higher dose of mounjaro? 5mg and up.
They *should* but availability of doses varies from location to location. You just have to call around.
How to find a dietitian online?
It would probably be easiest to go through your health insurance to find one that is in your network.
What is the difference between a dietician and nutritionist?
There are MANY differences, which is why I mentioned I would need to do a separate video. The most important thing is that the knowledge required to become a certified nutritionist is fairly minimal (I've known more about metabolism and nutrition than some I've seen), but a dietician has a Masters degree and several other continued education requirements in their field.
I’d love this too!
And us Diabetics can't get the GLP-1 Agonists now that everyone is taking our Diabetes drugs for weight loss. There is a world wide shortage of these drugs because they are being mis-prescribed for weight loss.
There's a worldwide shortage of the pens used to dispense the meds... largely due to the fact that Lily won't release the drugs in the vials that have been approved by the FDA because they won't be able to charge as much. MOST people who have been prescribed these meds for weight loss are taking compounds because they can't afford the $1600 price tag, and their insurance will not cover them.
I was pre-diabetic at 365 lbs, and without being prescribed these meds when I was, I likely would be Type 2 diabetic and insulin dependent now... by your standards, THEN I would be worthy of taking these meds but in much worse health as a result.
You’ve said you’re switching from Mounjaro back to Wegovy.
Can you share what dose you were on of Mounjaro? What dose of Wegovy (semaglutide) are you going to be taking? Thx.
Hey Deborah,
I am currently on 12.5mg Mounjaro. Because I've been on 10mg+ for over 6 months and really on GLP1s since October 2021 without any major side effects, my doctor wanted me to start the Semaglutide compound at 2.4mg. She feels confident that I won't have any issues going straight to the max dose. If anything, she is concerned that after being on such a high dose of MJ for so long that the 2.4mg dose may not be effective for me.
@@mindypweightloss yes. Ty for responding. I have been on Ozempic 1.0 for almost a year. Insurance has paid for this. I am making the move to Wegovy 1.7 for 4 weeks and then Wegovy 2.4 to follow. I will be paying OOP as my insurance will not pay for this change (and I have Medicare). I am concerned as to how this work after being on the 1.0 for so long. We shall see. If not good results then we will change to and try Mounjaro. 🤷🏻♀️
@deborahtighe9701 Since Wegovy and Ozempic are the same drug, the move to 1.7 and 2.4 will just be a step up on the same formula, so you should be fine. ❤️
@@mindypweightloss I am hoping it’s effective.
@@deborahtighe9701 is there a reason you can’t just titrate up your dose of Ozempic and still have insurance cover it? Just curious!
Lost 30 lbs, pants size down four inches. I am over 75. Excess skin, man boobs. I am too old for plastic surgery. I do over 120 push ups and 100 sit ups. Any advice to get rid of the skin, short of Surgery?
That's an amazing accomplishment!! Unfortunately, skin really only stretches back so far. I don't know of any effective topical treatments or exercises that will affect skin elasticity. I will likely be having to make a decision about excess skin at the end of this journey as well.
No constipation so far on 0.25 Ozempic after 2 weeks. Lets see what happens when I move up to 0.5
Hey Edgar,
It took a bit on Wegovy for the constipation to kick in for me, but once it did, the Magnesium was a necessity for sure. I didn't "need" the probiotic until I switched to Mounjaro.
@mindypweightloss On my first injection of 0.25 last Wed morning around 7am, I experienced abdominal cramping followed by diarrhea the next day at noon. This week the same thing occurred. I did the shot Wed 7am and the next day I was fine until 1230pm when I started getting bad stomach cramping followed by diarrhea. Both instances lasted 2 hours of discomfort. Hopefully 0.5 doesn't get worst.
@@edgaracevedo9658 you may find that a probiotic or magnesium may also help with those issues. I hope it gets better soon!

I'm not really interested in any "lifestyle" that restricts whole food groups. It's great that it works for some people, but it isn't for me. ❤️
I wonder if medical can approve it
Are you talking about Medi-Cal insurance? If so... it's unlikely that will happen for quite a while.
Can u speak a little louder? Love ya!
