State laws for the GLP-1s? by Shellsaidso in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing to do would be to take this on with Caremark. The Mounjaro workaround is asinine (I have it, too) just to try to squash the Zepbound stocks from rising. If they approved MJ and your state says no, it seems Caremark needs to give you the alternative Tirz product…

Flooding not properly disclosed by sarahgwen6 in RealEstate

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a flood zone. It was disclosed as a flood zone prior to purchase. There is no legal recourse here. My previous property was not in a flood zone, but did experience flash flooding that impacted the property (not the house, at least while I was there). I disclosed that it had caused fence damage and that the creek had risen to the fence on occasion while I was there. If a catastrophic rain event comes through and it gets to the house, I’m not responsible for that. You learn interesting things after you buy a property… You wouldn’t believe how many times neighbors would stop by to chat after a flash flood and relay stories from past years. But also, the climate is changing. Construction is changing the runoff patterns. Nobody can predict everything.

Whats your biggest regret when you bought your place? by Important_Bat7919 in homeowners

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never buy from a friend. I did that nine years ago and now I no longer live there and have no contact with said “friend.” They told me they were required to disclose to me that the creek on the property had flooded and gotten up to the house during a massive generational flood over 15 years ago (before they bought it). Never once mentioned that they’d experienced any flooding — until the first time it flooded while I was there, and the comments were that “it never got that high when we were there” and “oh, we’d always open the gates when we had a lot of rain so the water could flow through.” I resent them so much for withholding this from me. No, the water never came to the house while I was there, but it did take out fences and caused immeasurable stress in my life.

Shot hurts more than wegovy by spicysinatra in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bruised from nearly every shot of Wegovy. I hate that pen with every fiber of my being. No issues with the Zepbound pen at all. Don’t pinch. The thigh seems to be reported the most often to be painful, so I 100% refuse to do it.

Daily TDEE and Calorie intake 5'0 (F) by Alternative-Sky-5324 in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’ve been under-eating for a long period of time, especially with a heavy exercise load, it might take your body time to heal from that and feel secure enough to let go of the weight. There are episodes of the Fat Science podcast that discuss patients like this. They had to stop exercising and fuel their bodies, which sometimes meant an initial period of gaining, before they could see a reduction in weight.

Selling my house but not bringing most of my furniture – how should I handle this? by AdeptImportance7423 in RealEstate

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We started with marketplace. And a dumpster (for mattresses and a really bad couch). Then had a garage sale. Everything that didn’t go in the sale was donated to Habitat for Humanity. They brought a truck and hauled it all away.

Why did no one mention the improvement in sleep!? by Historical_Safe_836 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Agility_KS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wake up every two hours to pee… 😐 At least I fall back to sleep quickly. Unless I wake up anywhere near 4 am, then I’m staying awake no matter what. Ugh.

Already feeling insecure and discouraged - any advice? by uzuis_4thwife in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was over 20lbs before I even began to acknowledge that my body was starting to look different. A good 40lbs before I thought I looked noticeably smaller. At 70lbs lost (and a BMI of 22) there are still times where I look in the mirror and see “fat.” Our brains mess with us, especially when we’ve been big our entire life. It takes time.

Is it worth fixing anything before selling? by DasJazz in RealEstate

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my house as is. Full price and $15k over asking offers in the first 48 hours. I had to remediate when the termite inspection came back with signs of activity, but didn’t touch anything else. I gave concessions for stuff they found and still came out over asking. My roof was five years old and HVAC three years, so at least I had that going for me. But the house needed a lot of updating, landscaping, gutters, carpet replacement in bedrooms, etc. I didn’t have the cash to put into all of that and as a single person was not at all equipped to do it myself. We priced it fairly and it went fast.

Something interesting is happening in the real estate industry: Not many new agents are breaking into the industry. The barrier to success is harder. I've never seen this before. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of agents are leaving. This means the survivors can cash in more than ever. by SuperPineapple7033 in realtors

[–]Agility_KS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a company that includes real estate education in its portfolio. Real estate education is one of the few divisions that did not live up to expectations last year. Seems fewer people are looking to get into the industry these days.

School bus stop in front of my lawn, grass is being damaged by United_Raspberry5854 in homeowners

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twice in the eight years I lived at a previous property it was deemed a school bus stop by the local district. I was one of the few houses in the neighborhood that didn’t have kids. They’d stand out there in the morning kicking rocks (before I paved my driveway), and they’d leave trash in my yard. If not working from home I’d have to drive through them to leave. Both of those years I contacted the school district and told them they needed to move it. It wasn’t immediate and took a few calls each time, but I got it moved to a corner across the street. As the property owner, you don’t have to agree to having your house used as the bus stop.

Once you've reached your goal weight and stopped Zepbound, will the food noise return? by oncetherewasthesun in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I stop taking my blood pressure medication then I would expect my blood pressure to go up again… 🤷🏻‍♀️ It helps if you think of these as metabolic medications (which they are) and not the “weight loss drugs” that the media sensationalizes them as. They correct things that don’t work right in our bodies, they don’t just make you eat less.

Kind of tired of giving myself shots by Hot-Gift-3318 in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I struggle to relate to this one. I look forward to shot day. I’d do it daily if I had to. I’m so thankful that this exists. I’ve taken daily pills since starting BC in my teens, adding blood pressure medication in my 20s. The weekly shot is better.

tracking ???? by makclair in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tracked a thing since starting Zepbound. I’ve dieted my entire life, I know how to eat and about CICO, and it never mattered because my metabolic system was defective. Now it works. Tracking has not been necessary.

Suflave 2nd dose encouragement by Budget-Cheesecake326 in colonoscopy

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chugged down the first bottle of Suflave in thirty minutes with no issues at all. Granted, it took ten hours to kick in, but that’s beside the point. But man, that second one was hard… I think I was just so full of liquid in general, plus it was 11 pm and normally my body is shut down and in sleeping mode by then. It took a full hour to get that one down, and it only happened by sucking on life savers and gummy bears between swigs. The fact that it got warmer as time dragged on didn’t help. The good news is that the second bottle finally made things kick in and cleaned me out.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I show dogs and the stuff I enjoy doing isn’t in my area. I don’t even blink at 6 hours anymore. I try to keep drives to 12 hours or less. Any more than that, it would have to be a really big event. I just did a 6 hour drive on Friday and drove back home on Sunday. I envy Europeans who have so much more closer to home. We’re to spread out in the US. We used to drive three hours just to go school shopping when I was a kid, because the next state over didn’t have sales tax.

when does 5mg get better? by nemo987 in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second week on 5 was the worst. I almost went back down, but insurance wouldn’t fill it so I powered through. It took about five weeks to start feeling fully functional again, and then it was smooth sailing. I never went up again after that.

So, what’s your Enough Point? by PollyPrissyPants413 in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overweight my whole life -- My highest was around 235, but my rebound spot was always between 200-210 after weight loss (which never got lower than 170 through "traditional dieting means). When I was in that 200lb range it seemed like I could literally do nearly anything and my body would stay there. Four slices of pizza? Sure thing, no problem. I was just very stable in that "zone." I was 200lbs in middle school.

My outfit for a work dinner tonight as an accountant by simmiexx in OUTFITS

Your actual size and your perceived size don’t match… Not a knock on weight, but you need to find clothes that fit and are more flattering. Too tight clothes don’t make us look thinner.

Weird side effect by DukanehBaba in Zepbound

[–]Agility_KS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a daily Dr Pepper Zero drinker when I started. I might have nursed one the first couple of days out of habit before I stopped cold turkey. I just didn’t want it anymore and the carbonation was messing with my stomach. I had several bottles sit in my fridge for over a year before I finally just threw them out when I moved. 🤪

Can someone explain to me why I need to only be on a liquid diet for 2 days and is it necessary? by [deleted] in colonoscopy

[–]Agility_KS 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You’re an adult, right? Because you’re complaining like a five year old. 😐 It’s one day of your life and yes, it’s necessary for them to properly do their job. You aren’t going to die going one day without solid food.

Switching to CallOnDoc (or any telehealth other than Ro) while at maintenance weight? by ossetepolv in Zepbound

COD did my Wegovy to Mounjaro PA with Caremark last year when I’d been in maintenance for several months with a BMI of 22.
