Interesting. I’ve thankfully not experienced anything like this with friends who are on these meds, but plenty of halitosis with peeps who aren’t 
Hydrating properly when constipation is a well-known side effect seems like a no-brainer to me, but what do I know? I drink at least a gallon of water a day, probz.
Thirsty girl that I am 
Mmmmmmpsyllium husk. Can’t wait for the first recipes
PANKO?
Breadcrumbs?
**NO! … DON’T!**
No way. Carbs are evil dontcha know?
Metamucil already has a recipe page.
All Bran Buds contain psyllium as well, so I’m way ahead of the game 
I’ve seen (on youtube) some individuals using psyllium husk to make a keto-friendly bread substitute. I’m not going to try it, but for those looking into a keto diet, this may work for them.
The Guardian is WAY behind the curve on this one - Atkins dieters have been using psyllium husks as a carb substitute for decades. Scores of tried and true recipes already floating around out there. 
I stand corrected. As someone who’s never done keto I’d have never known.
I am a big believer in psylium husk, along with a breakfast routine of milled flaxseed and milled hard red wheat from Harlowton Montana. A tablespoon each of Cream of the West and milled flaxseed, microwaved with 12 ounces of water for 2.5 minutes and then add in a teaspoon of peanut butter and some coffee creamer and I am good to go in the morning! I drink the psylium husk before or with lunch so I am trying to keep a good amount of fiber in my diet.
I weighed 246 when I started on Ozempic last August, so it has been around 10 months so far. I weigh 211 now and the difference in how I feel is night and day. I feel so much better now. I actually went into Afib for a couple years, in part due to weight gain. I am one injection away from using up my 4th pen but I hope to not want another until mid August at the earliest.
I have been careful to take at least 4 weeks off between each pen so that I do not become too habituated to it, but I still am up to using 60 clicks/1.6mg in each dose, which is not a small amount. I get just 5 injections from each $300/8mg pen, so it is expensive as all get out.
But $1200+ has gotten me 4 pens and 10 months of improving health…
Now I need to find out if I can maintain my weight for 2 months without using a pen, just exercise, dietary restraint and more home made meals. That would mean I only used 4 pens in 12 months and I could try to use less, or none, in the year following.
I keep track of my doses and my times, so I will enclose a photo of my synopsis below.
Good luck. Keeping the lost weight off is always the biggest feat!
I’m seeing my endocrinologist in Aug, he’s been nudging me towards Ozempic and I think I’m ready to bite the bullet, I’m stuck at 224lbs, luckily I’m 5’11 with broad shoulders and chest so I can “hide it” fairly well, but I’m tired of wearing black all the time :D. Plus when I turn 65 next month, it’ll practically be free if he prescribes it.
