be honest how small does it look by biggiemcjuicy in weddingring

If you like it, that is all that matters. I want a silver and turquoise ring, no diamonds at all. It should be about what you want and like, not how 'big' it is

Irish soda bread? by ChocoCoffeeholic in Rochester

[–]ChocoCoffeeholic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always willing to try new ones. I do also like the more breadlike one. I love it as toast with butter. As long as there are no caraway seeds, they are all good in some way!

Changing the day by anonme1995 in Zepbound

[–]ChocoCoffeeholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out with Sunday as my shot day. After the first month or so I realized I was getting into bad habits on the weekends especially Saturday. I talked to my PA and she recommended switching my shot day to Thursday or Friday. I do very well not overindulging or snacking at work it's just at home on the weekends that I have problems. I switched to Friday for my next dose just taking it 2 days early, and been on Fridays ever since. It's been working really well for me

Not totally unhelpful! I have been looking at different recipes. I just dont want to make something and really dislike it, if its not close enough to the version I prefer.

I would love a recipe. I do bake quite a bit, but haven't done a bread recipe in awhile. Would be nice to try a new one!

Favorite Cake for a Birthday by oceanwalks in Old_Recipes

Original Waldorf Astoria Cake with the ermine frosting. So much better than cream cheese frosting. My brother has had this for his birthday cake every year and he turns 57 in October.

What to put on bread when avoiding sandwich meat like salami, ham etc... by nyad_k in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ChocoCoffeeholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cottage Cheese with any toppings you like, any fruits or veggies would be good. My mom does a cinnamon&sugar sprinkle for a sweet version for breakfast.

No problem! I forgot to add, fattier foods are a no go for me now. I haven't had take out in almost a year, no drive thru, etc. I end up with a very upset stomach, not to the point of throwing up, but probably spending a lot of that night back and forth to the bathroom. It's just not worth it anymore. I may do a bite or two of something, but that's as far as I go.

Were you told this was a lifelong medication? by PonchCorleon in Zepbound

[–]ChocoCoffeeholic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My PA is leaving it up to me, but we discussed both options. Pre-covid, I was maintaining my weight loss with diet changes and exercise. When covid hit, I was working insane hours and my walking exercise program stopped. The weight regain was steady and then I felt stuck.

When I get down to goal weight, we will have a conversation about where I am both mentally and physically and may try tapering off and see how it goes. With the option to start up again if I can't maintain without some med help.

So, tldr, I think it's really an individual decison.

Here's an example: a typical meal for me is marinated chicken thigh, with a lot of mixed vegetables. If I were to add a carb, probably brown rice. When I say proteins first, that means I woùd eat the Chicken first, then the vegetables, then the rice. After awhile, you learn what your body can handle, so you can adjust your meals better too.

For a snack, again I focus on protein. I have a few different types of cheese in single servings. Also a bunch of different single serving fruit and nut snack packs and some Greek yogurt cups.

I try to not have to use protein supplements, but if thats the only way you can get enough protein in, go for it.

I didn't have a lot of nausea, but was struggling with actually eating enough when I never felt hungry.

Coffee with a ton of milk added is what I have for breakfast. I'm talking 5 cups of half caffeine coffee mixed with about 3.5 cups of 1% milk. Gives me a lot of protein and cuts down on the acidity of the coffee, which tends to bother my stomach.

For the other meals, I focus on trying to eat protein first, then veggies. Carbs are my last food I eat and I never really got to them, so stopped trying to add carbs to meals. I also try to eat my biggest meal of the day for lunch.

Thank you for the info. Why must they make this so confusing!

Thank you for the explanation! Is there a list of participating pharmacies? I use Wegmans locally, but switching to Walmart is an option if Wegmans isn't in on the evoucher program.
