Hungry after my shot yesterday

[mopo89]

Call me crazy, but maybe that means you need to eat? I eat a lot of food on glp1, but it’s mostly protein - chicken and eggs. And I keep losing weight, and I don’t think I’m losing that much muscle despite not doing much exercise. I don’t think the point is to starve.

Agreed. I don't think we should be striving for a medication that makes us feel full all of the time. That's not normal. Should we feel full after eating a meal? Sure. But not all the time. Hunger is normal and natural, and we SHOULD feel hungry when our body needs sustenance. I don't understand this desire to feel full all the time, and turning to a glp1 for that doesn't really get to the root of the real problem which is fixing your relationship with food.

It's very easy!! Also re your ISR hive - I was getting that a lot and tried everything and what worked for me finally was a Zyrtec an hour before, alcohol swab after, then witch hazel pad, then cortisone, and I kept using the witch hazel anytime it was red or itchy and it really helped, also what helped me was splitting my dose so small volume injections.

I will try it! Benadryl didnt really help much but I never thought of zyrtec. I was also using after bite which I think is the same ingredient as Benadryl but it did nothing. Thanks a million!!!

I like the full feeling

Most of my life I could eat and feel full, then 15 minutes later feel hungry again. I feel like that today.

Tirz blocks that so I eat a reasonable amount and feel satisfied for awhile.

If we could manage what we eat appropriately on our own, none of us would be here, I’d bet. I’m not exactly here because my life is going that well for me. Am I?

So glad tirz is working so well for you! For me, tirz has finally allowed my body to function properly, as it never has. I've been fortunate that eating appropriately has never been my issue, but now I feel like I am no longer fighting my thyroid problems, metabolic problems, absorption issues, high cortisol and it's been amazing to have a body and a system that is finally working right!

I tried everything - Benadryl, anti-hive medication, a bunch of different anti-histamines and nothing made a dent until I started doing the Zyrtec witch hazel cortisone. Hope the combo brings you some relief as it did me!

I think it’s important to realize that a “relatively” small change - like a smaller portion size or passing on that midnight snack - make a huge difference over time.

I didn’t get to be 140lbs heavier in one year. And I don’t expect to get to be 140 lbs lighter in one year. So far it’s been about a year, and I’m almost 70lbs down.

That’s life changing. I’ll hopefully keep having success.

Why was I driven to compulsively eat prior to glp1? I dunno. Personally I think it’s a sugar metabolism issue. But whatever it is, it’s working.

I haven’t changed anything really, but everY thing has changed.

Was not hungry until noon today. Seems to be back to normal for no apparent reason. My mid week shot is tomorrow so we’ll see what happens

FWIW, at about week 9ish in my journey I stopped getting the top appetite suppression on shot day and it migrated to the second and third day after. My shotsy app shows I'm on the downhill slide of mg concentration in my body when I feel the most results/sides. It's weird. Same for the past three weeks now.

I have noticed a difference in hunger feelings since starting tirz. I still get hungry but the associated cratering of blood sugar and urgency to eat is not what it used to be. I will get around to eating something eventually.
