SUPPLEMENTS FOR A MONJARO AND HRT USER

Do you get your iron and ferritin checked? That's the one I'd want to know about with HRT in the mix.

I'm on saxenda and my appetite's pretty flat too. Protein shakes are the only thing i can reliably get down, so that's where most of mine comes from

Iron was the one that surprised me too, dropped after hrt went in. Did you end up supplementing it or just watching the labs?

I'm on HRT too and my doctor pushed food sources over calcium pills, same as yours. Curious what your labs showed for iron, mine came back low-normal.

My iron tanked after starting HRT too, and honestly food first worked better for me than the pills, they wrecked my stomach

honestly, curious what your labs actually flagged, if anything? I went in assuming I'd be low on everything and only iron came back off.

How's your protein intake on the days when even a shake feels like too much? That's the part I still struggle with at 19 months out.

Curious whether your HRT has changed at all over those 19 months, since that seems like it would shift what your labs show. I'm only at 2.5 so I haven't hit the long-haul stuff yet

Curious what your labs actually flagged first? I went in assuming iron and it turned out to be vitamin D, so the guess would have been wrong

Do you split your protein across the day or just aim for one big hit?

How did you land on the protein shake and small snacks combo rather than one bigger meal, was that just what sat okay with you?

What does your protein look like on a day with no appetite at all? I'm only a few weeks in and already struggling to hit it, so I'm curious how you handle that at 19 months.

I'm in Toronto too and my doctor here was fine ordering a full panel including the HRT stuff, so that part was easier than I expected. Curious whether yours actually ran B12 and D together or you had to ask for them separately?

Curious what your protein shake looks like since food is a chore for me too. Mine is just the plain stuff and i'm getting bored of it

I'm on HRT too and my only staples are a whey shake and a plain multivitamin, mostly because the shake is the one thing I can get down when food is a chore. Everything else I bought early on is still sitting half full in a drawer.

Curious what your HRT doc says about timing, since some of that stuff competes with absorption. I keep my list short on purpose, just D and a shake on the days food is a no-go

I'm in Houston too and my panel came back with low D and nothing else, so most of the bottle shelf I bought was wasted money. Curious whether your HRT doc ran the same labs or if you had to ask separately.

Curious what your panel actually flagged, since mine came back boring except for vitamin D. I half expected the no-appetite thing to show up as some dramatic deficiency and it just didn't

curious what your panel actually flagged, mine only caught low ferritin and the rest was normal despite barely eating.

I'm on Zepbound and also doing HRT, and my labs came back low on vitamin D and B12 so those are the two i actually supplement now. A protein shake is my fallback on the days food just sounds like too much effort
