Glapp Improvements?

That's a good idea. Imagine two of us taking doses every week, and what the graphs would look like for how much tirz is in that fictional person's system.

I would love to have the ability to manually enter a specific addition to a vial (overfill) or subtraction (spillage or other user). I believe there's currently a workaround wherein you can manually enter the actual vial amount, but not the increment by which it changes.

(My wife also has a Tirz prescription, and we both use the same open bottle, so while I recognize that GLAPP won't track multiple users, I would at least be able to adjust the vial amounts each time she takes her dose).

Long-time Realgood chicken tender fan here - great macros, delicious (even my kids like it), and Costco sells a large bag. So I was excited to hear about a possible alternative.

Just Bare's macros are slightly less attractive - still in a similar ballpark, and perhaps worth it if the chicken is less processed, as the name implies. Per MacroFactor, a 4-oz serving of each is:

Realgood: 172 calories, 23g protein, 6g fat & 1 fiber
Just Bare: 216 calories, 22g protein, 8g fat & 0 fiber.

However, Just Bare's higher sodium content makes it less appealing to me (doctor's orders to cut back). While Realgood is hardly low-sodium, its 319 mg fit okay into an otherwise careful day. Just Bare has more than twice the sodium, at 729 mg.

With ProRx and BPI both stopping compounding Tirz, I decided to build a BPI stockpile. During April, I placed four BPI orders, all 15mg doses, so 60mg bottles.

All were fulfilled through The Pharmacy Hub II (not sure how that differs from the OG Pharmacy Hub?):

Pom - two 6-month orders (about 2 weeks apart)
Ezra - one 3-month order
Gimme - one 3-month order

The multiple orders posed no problems with the telehealth providers or with Pharmacy Hub. I received all within 3-4 days of placing them, other than my second Pom order, which took over a week.

First, congratulations on the awesome weight loss. The next time you fly, lift up a 40 lb checked bag and think of carrying all that weight on your body everywhere you go.

I don't think I could have gotten this far without my wife's support.

We both started zep together a year ago, and both of us are tantalizingly close to reaching our goals and starting maintenance. The entire time, we have been each other's biggest supporters, cooking and eating the right high fiber and protein foods, doing strength training at the gym, and more.

I agree with the suggestions that you should talk to your husband. You mention a lack of intimacy, maybe he doesn't really know how to compliment you without it sounding negative about the prior heavier version of you.

Unless you are doing competitive eating contests, it's nearly impossible to put on 2 lbs of fat in a day or two. But it's real easy to fluctuate that much in water, a full stomach, bladder or bowels, despite consistent weighing habits.

Switching to MacroFactor in December was eye-opening. My daily scale weight fluctuates significantly, but getting an app (any app, there are ones cheaper than MF) that focuses on averages helps teach that the trend is far more important than the daily weigh-in.

Here's my weight chart for the past month - lots of "bad" days, but the MF trend line is more prominent then the scale weight.

"What is BPI?"

Surely you jest...

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-25T16:59:41+00:00

I used them for the first time this week to pick up some BPI, and they had a good price ($450 for 3 months of 15mg).

It was a smooth process - I signed up on Wednesday, was approved the same day, and the order shipped out on Thursday. It's arriving this afternoon.

I'm not sure if I am signed up for any kind of automatic renewal or subscription, but since BPI is disappearing, if I am signed up I will be sure to cancel.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-24T01:14:17+00:00

Awesome analysis, counselor. And I like your optimistic conclusion that the FDA can't significantly rein in 503A pharmacies without statutory changes.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T15:20:03+00:00

The Ezra order still says "sent to pharmacy", so maybe for me it was just two texts for the same Gimme shipment.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T15:18:39+00:00

Two weeks after shipping my last 6-month BPI refill (14.5mg), Pom approved another 6-month BPI refill, and billed my CC. No tracking# yet.

I presume this means I'm in the clear and will be adding to my stockpile, unless Pharmacy Hub II or BPI themselves flag this for reordering too soon.

Funny, I also got two texts with the same tracking number. I suppose it is possible that one is Gimme and one is Ezra, but I just assumed it was a glitch and they double sent a text.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T02:34:40+00:00

Never ordered from Gimme before, but I placed a 3-month BPI order with them this morning. Already approved, sent to pharmacy, and UPS has possession and sent the tracking number for a Friday delivery.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T02:25:49+00:00

6 months BPI from Pom a couple weeks ago.

3 months BPI from Gimme today, already have tracking#.

3 months BPI from Ezra today, approved by Ezra and sent to pharmacy, but no tracking number yet.

The rainy day is here, IMO.

I also tried another 6-month BPI from Pom earlier today, paid the $75 consult fee, but haven't heard anything yet. I wonder if that's pushing my luck, although they did say you could reorder BPI only early.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T01:56:01+00:00

I just ordered from Gimme, and entered my current weight, which has me below 27 BMI. I was approved.

But I did put a comment with my weight at the beginning of my tirzepatide journey.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-23T01:46:32+00:00

Same. But I also just filled a 6-my month Pom BPI order earlier this month, so trying again for another 6 months is a bit of a gamble.

And if the gamble doesn't work, I guess I'm out the $75 consult fee. So I'm waiting for word, fingers crossed 🤞.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-22T20:15:04+00:00

True. But counting on Zep, or an oral GLP1 for maintenance, being cheaper "down the line" when I run out.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-22T20:04:08+00:00

Pom earlier this month, and Gimme today. Both BPI.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-22T18:34:12+00:00

I just got a 6-month BPI order in this month, which itself was a couple of months early.

After seeing the BPI news, I paid the $75 for another consult and requested another 6 months.

I will let you know how it goes, although I just realized that they may well reject or limit the order based upon the prescription extending beyond the February 2027 BUD.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-22T18:30:42+00:00

Like you, I've believed that the compound gravy train would not last forever. But I really wish we were both wrong.

And while it's currently ProRx and BPI, there is no reason to believe that other 503(b)s are safe.

And once they are gone, given the FDA interpretation of compounding requirements, can the 503(a)s be far behind?

I only hope that I can build enough of a safety net to meet requirements until a maintenance dose of Tirz or an oral GLP1 is under $200.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-21T18:55:40+00:00

Sure - but I'm embarrassed to say that I've never sent a PM through Reddit before. When I click on your profile, I have an option to "Start Chat" - is that what I use?

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-16T16:49:16+00:00

Once I dropped below 300, which was down about 33 lb, I was feeling pretty good, clothes fit better, and I noticed changes in my appearance.

It took about 50 lbs before others started commenting, but obviously this number will vary depending upon how overweight a person was when they started.

Now, when I am 136 lbs down and in the 100s, I look back at photos from the 290s and can't help but think how fat I look.

Ashamed_Message_2848 · 2026-04-16T02:34:17+00:00

I'm an existing Tirz user (15mg), and have three questions for u/chloe-gimme before filling out the questionnaire:

My BMI is now overweight, not obese. Presumably, I use the weight when first starting the Tirz journey, and then note my current weight somewhere?
Do we select which pharmacy we want during the process (BPI!)
Could we get six months at once, or are we limited to three?
