Going to a wedding next weekend. Cocktail hour is all carb-heavy passed apps (mini grilled cheese, etc.) and dinner is pasta or chicken parm. I usually eat protein first and stop when full but I literally can't with this menu. Do you eat beforehand? Bring a protein bar in your purse? Just embrace the carbs for one night and move on?

Their Premier Protein 4-pack is like $7. I've been blending one with: - 1 cup frozen mixed berries - 1 tbsp PB powder - A handful of ice - Splash of unsweetened almond milk 40g protein, tastes like a smoothie shop drink, and I can actually finish it on days when food feels impossible. Cheap, fast, repeatable. I have one most mornings now.

Just hit my 3-week mark on 0.25mg Ozempic. Down 6 lbs so far, but the first week nausea was no joke. Eating smaller meals and avoiding greasy food made a huge difference. Anyone else notice appetite suppression kicking in around week 2?
