It is Summer time and you got that beach bod now what?

[Skidude]

I was curious about swimming in the pool/lake and did a little digging. Not only are these recommendations for swimming interesting, even hot showers or exercise is something to think about. Here is what I found:

Generally, it's recommended to wait at least 24 hours after a subcutaneous injection before swimming. Some sources suggest waiting two days, especially for hot tubs or whirlpools. It's also wise to avoid strenuous activities that could impact the injection site or medication absorption, such as exercising.

Elaboration:

• 24-Hour Wait:
  A standard recommendation is to wait 24 hours after a subcutaneous injection before engaging in activities like swimming or soaking in a bath, hot tub, or pool.
  
  
• Hot Baths and Showers:
  While a shower is generally okay after a few hours, hot baths or showers may accelerate medication absorption, especially for rapid-acting insulin. It's recommended to wait 90 minutes after a rapid-acting insulin injection before having a hot bath or shower.
  
  
• Strenuous Activities:
  Activities like exercising can also affect medication absorption, so it's best to avoid strenuous activities that might impact the injection site or medication absorption.

I'd say now that I've got that beach bod it's time to pin through October for that Halloween bod! (zombie or skeleton).

But the content here defies the title... So Mom's tell your kids to stay out of the pool after jabbing their GLPs!

I'm definitely not going to be following any of that advice.

 

[Iamnew2this]

I'm happy that I don't do any strenuous exercise. I guess I'm good

Now what? Go to the beach! I love having a beach bod pretty much everyday of the year now.

Yeah and I’m not going to be following those pinning rules!

Actually, rather than look at this as advice, I would love to open up a thought project.
I was curious, this is what I googled, I would be grateful for your feedback on this subject I am just trying to figure out.

Please feel free to contribute- all

I will absolutely break every one of these rules

Well ultimately everyone succeeding in achieving their best version of a "beach bod" will also land on a sustainable maintenance routine. Hopefully they can enjoy their time on the beach without being too self conscious and filled with food noise wondering where the nearest ice cream funnel cake pizza slice is.

They can be like all the people on the beach who've never had to take a GLP or were happy in their own skin regardless of size. "Beach Bod" is a visual without regard for internal health. I would hope that all of us taking GLPs and what we've learned in the process would make us the least critical of other's size/appearance on the beach.

My friend,
I did not mean to debate this point- I am simple, I just thought: I wonder if swimming is safe and googled it.

You are preaching to the choir on the miracle this did for me, and others. That is what keeps me coming back after hitting goal. I have been in the impossible position that kept me hostage for so many years and now I am different. I could not do this on my own, but helped the best I could.

But... Is that post full of shit? Or can I swim without waiting 30 minutes after I eat?

I've been pinning stuff daily for almost a year. I spend a lot of time in the water of all types and temps.

I'm in the choir and I'm just singing.
