Even when things are going so well, some of my health is still compromised from my Obesity and my RNY Gastric Bypass. It’s frustrating when things seem to be going so well. I’ll just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.

Food Aversion from GLP-1 Medications
I was surprised by food aversions after my RNY Gastric Bypass. While I didn’t expect it with the GLP-1 medications, I wasn’t totally surprised. But the alcohol aversion? I had not heard of that and was shocked. Now I know that is fairly common and the meds are being studied to help with other compulsions as well. Do you have any new food aversions with your tirzepatide or semaglutide?

This Is All Too Familiar: GLP-1s vs. RNY
Reading about the concerns or worries of those taking the GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and the others, I am seeing them as incredibly similar to when one has Bariatric Surgery.

GLP-1 Haters, Beware
When we begin the health and weight loss experience, the haters come out of the woodwork. They need to migrate back in because this is OUR choice… with the help of our care providers. It’s no one’s business to tell you you are wrong or bad or lazy when you take Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy, or any other GLP-1. This is OUR lives. Not theirs. Let’s LIVE!
My Turn for GLP-1s!
This is the beginning of my GLP-1 adventure. So much to come! I hope you follow along and watch the amazing changes from my new life on GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIP. Trulicity and Mounjaro are saving my life.
