DSer new to tirzepatide - so happy to find this sub!

I’ve read a ton about GLP-1s all over Reddit and have seen a few people mention previous WLS. But I haven’t run into anyone else with a DS or SADI till I found this sub.

I had a traditional DS in 2023, three years after I went into menopause and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I’m 5’2”. My high weight was 297, but I was around 264 on surgery day. Over the next year, I briefly got down to 138, but I’ve been maintaining in the 155-160 range. (I’d like to be in the 120-130 range.) My comorbidities remain mostly resolved. I still deal with a TON of food noise, exacerbated by the fact that my tween sons are borderline underweight and their pediatrician recommends stocking our house with candy, chips, and ice cream to entice them to eat calorie dense foods.

After talking to my GP, I’ve decided to start compounded tirzepatide. My insurance will not cover name brand because I’m no longer obese. I signed up with Rift last Monday and am eagerly awaiting my first shipment.

Any advice from the vets for a newb beyond the standard ‘stay on top of your vitamins and protein?’ I’d be especially grateful to hear from others with a DS or SADI who’ve been using GLP-1s for a while.
