First 8 months on Ozempic: "Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven't eaten for 3 days."

The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I've thought about Wegovy but I've finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don't hate myself enough to go through with that again.

Well the main thing it did to me was give me crippling depression. No one over the course of my life could ever figure out why I was depressed. "It runs in the family" was the excuse. My depression disappeared after the first injection. Everyday of my life I felt like there was a force pushing down on me, and then shortly after my shot it went away and it took me awhile to realize it was gone. That was a good day.

I couldn't lose weight no matter what I did, spent thousands on personal training over the years but I could never gain muscle, or lose the weight I gained. I was a 58 waist in Feb, and I'm currently down to 44 in not even a year. Last time I went to the big and tall store they said they've seen me enough this year and we switched to elastic waist pants and a stretch belt so I don't keep having to buy clothes every 3 months.

I never had any body hair. I would have to shave once a week before. I have hair everywhere now and it's weird.

Lots of other things, zero libido. I was dating my wife and she got exasperated about my disinterest in sex, it was a chore for me. I'd be the one coming up with excuses not to have sex.

Exactly, and maybe spend a couple hundred for a Japanese replica and all the functions might work.

Or buy a replica, for a very small fraction of the price and see if anyone ever knows the difference.

I have a $350 Japanese made replica of a Patek Philippe Grand Complication, everything works on it. To me it is indistinguishable from the real thing and didn't cost me $300,000

We wanted kids, tried to have kids, but things never seemed to work out. So I went to see my doctor and they ran some tests. First test we found I had no sperm, so they did more tests, turns out I barely have any testosterone at all, but absolutely tons of estrogen. More tests, this time a genetic one. Turns out I have kleinfelter syndrome, which if caught early enough there are things that can be done. But at my age that boat has long since sailed.

It's been an interesting couple of years. I started TRT injections at the beginning of the year. And my life has taken a complete 180, turns out you really need testosterone for alot of things. And your body reacts kinda funny without it.

Adoption seems our only choice, but she doesn't want a kid if it's not hers. So... Yea

Not true, we hate parts of America. I see nothing wrong with the image. Those states are ones I actually like to visit. Hell in the beforetiimes there was never really a border between Vermont and Quebec. Whole towns were split between the borders, and people could walk across the border for a pizza across the street.

Tariffs.

We're connected to the US in so many ways that the tariffs scared the shit out of everyone provincially and federally.

Everyone's doing damage control so they don't piss off the orange oompa-loompa.

My wife is Chinese, and I very clearly didn't know anything about her culture because REAL Chinese food is... not what I expected, and very shortly after the wedding I took over cooking. But before taking over I had this same conversation so so many times.

The first family get together with her side of the family was at a Chinese banquet hall, the tables have giant lazy susan's in the middle and they serve a 12 course meal. Almost every main was served with its head, sometimes multiple heads. You don't mind the lobster so much but when you have to look the chicken in the eye it's rather different.

She now has me make her favorite dishes, the main one being "pork bone soup" which at least in her family version contains quite a lot of chickens feet. That really took me a long time to get used to.
