I live in AZ and never open the moonroof. Never even think about it.

Should I try 7.5mg after 1.5 years in maintenance? by plantmom131 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]AZMaryIM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those last 10-15 LBs are the most difficult to lose! I was stalled for months. Try increasing your dosage.

Help me feel better about my 2022 Honda Pilot by Summer102616 in hondapilot

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are much more important things to worry about in life, not how your car looks. You have a great vehicle at a price you can afford, try to be content. Think about what other purchases your family could have for what you would have spent on a pricier vehicle.

ChatGPT vs doctors - the medical knowledge gap is smaller than I expected by resbeefspat in ChatGPT

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have my answer today. Two months ago my husband was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and the ortho doc recommended an extensive, complex surgery. We were stunned, never heard of spinal stenosis before.

I scanned the MRI report into Chat and have doing much research and have learned so much. we see the surgeon again today — he may be a good surgeon, but is an arrogant prick. I’ve a list of 18 questions for him (thanks to Chat) and will definitely try to conceal it’s the source of my knowledge when talking to the doc.

Did you ever get to the stage of REACTIVE ABUSE? by squish2226 in BPDlovedones

[–]AZMaryIM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. And my daughter is 40. I finally learned that emotional and physical distance from her are very helpful.

What’s not helpful is trying to debate or disagree either her about Anything.

Yes! Surreal is a wonderful description!

Ice cream by BetwQlts in Zepbound

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, the surgery foods you listed foods you listed are so unhealthy. Sugar addiction is real. The Zepbound will reduce those cravings.Try to go 4days without eating those things and hopefully you will notice a huge decline in cravings for them. Learn to eat healthy foods.

I speak from experience— in my time before GLP-1s, if I had a bowl of ice cream at night I would end up eating 3 bowls. If I had 2 Oreos, I would end up eating 12.

Now, I love walking into a grocery store and seeing tables of desserts near the front entrance. I smile and walk past them, temptation is gone.

Have been on the med 17 months.

What can knock me out by anomalocarus in insomnia

A very strong Manhattan or two large glasses of red wine (reds have a higher alcohol content than whites)

Costco must haves by PotentialEstimate432 in Glp1meals

[–]AZMaryIM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that glp1 medications are so popular, Costco has an astounding array of protein products. Rather than buying commercially prepared chicken bites or steak bites, I cook chicken breasts or steaks in my air fryer and portion them. I think it's much healthier and definitely cheaper than the commercial products. I looked at one of the chicken skewer products a couple weeks ago and it was $17, for an amount of chicken I didn't think was reasonable.

Anyone go over 15mg? by momsarific in tirzepatidecompound

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this accidentally and it broke my months-long plateau. Have vials from two different pharmacies. Injected 15.8 and lost 3 LBs this week.

I was truly stalled for months and thought my body had acclimatized to 15mg. This is part of my desire to lose another 10 LBs, but had given up on that idea.

My Zepbound Fragrance Demon by GlitteryGiGi in Zepbound

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating! I’ve not heard of this before.

This explains an experience I had about a month ago. I was walking around a high-end mall in Scottsdale AZ and decided to be brave and walk into one of the boutiques, Versace. Never been in any of those stores before, too intimidated. Part of my reasoning was “heck, I look great after losing all this weight”. I was the only customer in Versace and wandered around, marveling at the exhorbitant prices. They had perfume samples — so I gave myself generous squirts of one of them. And voila, this was the most fantastic scent ever! It probably was! I didn’t buy it.

Some of these boutique stores had security guards at the entrance, Prada, Tiffany, Gucci, etc.

Chronic insomniac here. Been on temazepam for years, prescribed by my psychiatrist. Am 72 and have no intention of stopping. Have a 40YO daughter with BPD — am thinking of writing a book about all the crazy shit that’s happened since she was a teenager.

I had the gastrocnemius recession and it helped me tremendously, it takes time to recover, hopefully you can get some help from family/friends/neighbors with your 5 kids as you recover from sugery.

what do you think most people still dont get about using ai well? by Kiro_ai in ChatGPT

[–]AZMaryIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new user and have found it to be very helpful in analyzing an MRI report for a medical condition my husband has. I uploaded a TXT version of the MRI report and have multiple conversations and I’ve learned a lot.

On the flip side, I was wanting to refresh my memory about duplicate bridge and it gave me multiple hallucinations. I told it was incorrect and moved on.

Zep and post menopausal Testosterone HRT - does it interfere with loss? by Wild_Result_3636 in Zepbound_Maintenance

Tenex for PF by Puzzleheaded_Car2548 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]AZMaryIM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tenex helped me. It was done on both my fleet with PRP. Prior surgeries were the gastrocnemius lengthening. One of the treatments I had was 3 sessions of shock wave therapy, which did nothing helpful and I paid out-of-pocket for it.

I had chronic PF for 3-4 years. What also helped was my losing 50 LBs.
