A Stellate Ganglion Block can supposedly restore taste and smell ruined by COVID vaccines. Maybe it would help in this case too? I thought it was bogus, but I had it done for another reason and it really changed how things tasted. Also helps lower cortisol.

Good point, LongGameLarry. The 3-month thing assumes weekly shots.

Everything I'm seeing suggests at least 90 days if you're careful about hygiene and sterilization procedures.

I agree with Pulse_Lady, I think Oprah has a point. GLP-1s address some brain issues that people without weight struggles don't seem to have. Willpower is a whole different thing.

I'm a Canadian but I live abroad now. I'm no longer part of the Canadian healthcare system. I wonder how to get a prescription and fill it in Canada. I'm close enough for a road trip, and personal medication isn't usually an issue with customs.

Oh, I hope so too! Once you get up to the highest dose, the cost really adds up.

FYI, I saw an article about a new type of CGM in development -- a CGM/CKM that also monitors ketones. Aimed at T1D folks, but it makes you wonder if a non-prescription version could come out for those of us just watching our ketone levels.

Wow LeanStrong, you're doing amazing! How long did it take you to see the *biggest* difference?

Wow, I'm so impressed! I'm in the middle of the same journey right now.

Keep up the great work! 🥳

I'm so encouraged to see everyone doing so well. I've lost 35 pounds, and I feel like a new person, more attractive and confident. It's wild!

Incredible!

That's awesome, congrats!

I'm finding I save a lot not ordering delivery anymore!

It depends if you want to lose weight because you are hospitalized or because of the medication, both will result in some weight loss. Even with sterile conditions, I wouldn't keep it longer than 30 days in the fridge.

Wow, you look amazing, and I love this for you. I still hear my dad saying that short hair is only for skinny people. 😭

I'm on metformin and about to start a GLP-1. I've been on metformin for around 9 months, losing and regaining about 10-15 pounds each cycle. Is there any advantage to staying on metformin when I start the GLP-1? My doctor will know best, I'm sure. Just curious about personal experiences.

I can completely relate to this.

My doctor suggested a daily dose of miralax. It's been surprisingly effective.
