About Me

🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

GLP 1 Wegovy Pill Day 1 -- Changes, Tips and Tricks




Day 1 on the Wegovy Pill: The Saliva Chronicles Begin

Good morning, friends. After a full 24 hours on the Wegovy pill, I can officially report my very first side effect: excess saliva. Yes, you read that correctly. I spent half the day swallowing my own spit like I was preparing for a competitive gulping tournament. Cute, right? I’ll be Googling “how to stop feeling like a human fountain” later.

This morning I took my Wegovy pill exactly as instructed , on an empty stomach with just a tiny sip of water. The pill is very particular. It wants its moment. It wants silence. It wants space. So I waited the full hour before taking my morning medications because absorption is the name of the game.

Hydration Adventures: Strawberry Lemonade Edition

My doctor recommended Liquid I.V. for hydration, so today I tried the Strawberry Lemonade flavor for the first time. Let me be honest: the first sip tasted like someone whispered “lemonade” over a cup of saltwater. The texture? Suspicious. The vibe? Confused.

So I added a few drops of honey. Still not sweet enough, but at least now it tastes like it’s trying. Also, I only used half a stick instead of the whole packet; partly to test it, partly because these things are $8.97 for six sticks and I’m not trying to take out a hydration loan.

Nausea Watch 2026

Nauzene is on standby for nausea, though I haven’t actually felt any yet. I did take one yesterday, but I didn’t respect the sacred WAITING PERIOD between the Wegovy pill and everything else. Today, I’m doing it correctly: I’ll wait to see if nausea shows up, and if it does, Nauzene will be ready like a little pink superhero. A bottle of 42 chewables is only $5.48, which feels like a win.

Diet: The Protein-First Experiment

Now for the food situation. My doctor told me to eat protein first, so I’m experimenting with when to eat and how hungry I actually get. Honestly, I’m curious. Will I be starving? Will I forget food exists? Will I suddenly become a person who eats three bites of chicken and says, “I’m full”? We shall see.

This is all research: real, messy, human research. Wegovy is not playing around, and neither am I. If you’re on this journey too, arm yourself with information. Read labels. Search things. Visit Reddit. Ask questions. Do what works for your body.

Because being informed isn’t just smart ... it’s survival.
