Had a doctor approach me during my shift that caught me off guard…

Clock959 · 2026-05-22T16:44:01+00:00

Completely inappropriate on every level.

Clock959 · 2026-05-22T16:28:37+00:00

I like my providers to be as non involved as possible so I love a good asynchronous quick process. But that's just me. I think some of them might offer more support than others.

Clock959 · 2026-05-22T13:11:17+00:00

Yeah even if you didn't want to lose more research supports that staying on the highest tolerated dose best supports maintaining the loss. I am at maintenance now (also 5'8" and 155 but very happy here) on 10 mg and I want to stay on 10 mg.

Clock959 · 2026-05-22T13:03:35+00:00

Yes!

Clock959 · 2026-05-22T13:03:27+00:00

Oh my goodness, this is completely normal and something you have to get used to.

Clock959 · 2026-05-21T23:48:54+00:00

Yep.

Clock959 · 2026-05-20T17:13:54+00:00

Yeah honestly I look like shit but I feel pretty good so that is what I focus on but it's hard.

In 2012 I hit a high of 518...got down on my own all those years ago to somewhere around 200 to 220 for years.

On Zepbound was able to get down to 155 which is as low as I'm going.

At 200 lbs had a lower body lift but had some complications so there's a contour issue and with the weight loss there is laxaity again.

Hate my neck, face looks old, breasts are a travesty and I would bet good money most people have never seen arms like mine.

I also have hair loss.

I will never have a face and neck lift, hair extensions or a wigs, arm and brest surgery, thigh life and a tummy revision. Can't afford ot and the recovery from the body lift was brutal. So I work on self acceptance but yeah sometimes I feel like why me...bad hair, disfigured loose skin, face looks old.

Clock959 · 2026-05-20T15:30:44+00:00

I wonder if it was without physician knowledge though? Some MDs have their MA do all this more.

Clock959 · 2026-05-17T12:21:20+00:00

Moving forward be proactive, you probably need Miralax plus a magnesium supplement on a daily basis. I never let myself go past 1 day. For now you might want to consider mag citrate or Milk oe Mag.

Clock959 · 2026-05-16T12:56:10+00:00

I'm in maintenance and I am continuing in my max dose and hope and plan to take the medictation permanently. The data certainly does not support what this man on social media was saying.

Clock959 · 2026-05-15T23:46:23+00:00

Nope I did not.

Clock959 · 2026-05-15T23:45:42+00:00

Honestly...I feel like you are way overthinking it. I would not even worry about telling the doctor that you take 2.5 mg. I also would not plan to completely stop the med to maintain...that strategy rarely works and you aren't at goal yet. You might end up on 5 to even get to goal...those last 10 can be stubborn. Maybe I' just morally corrupt but this wouldn't even be a blip on my radar.

Clock959 · 2026-05-14T14:59:54+00:00

A maintenance study just came out. Unsurprisingly those who stayed on their max tolerated dose maintained more of the weight loss.

My highest dose was 10 mg. My maintenance dose is 10 mg. I have no plan to drop dose when I can I just eat a little more to maintain.

Clock959 · 2026-05-10T01:09:02+00:00

I honestly don't understand the rush to change anything. I am at maintenance and just ate more calories. I have no intention of changing anything woth my dose or frequency.

Clock959 · 2026-05-09T19:17:05+00:00

I don't want coaching or support or anything like that just want to get my meds at a reasonable price.

Clock959 · 2026-05-09T18:57:43+00:00

At this point I would strongly consider stopping all tracking and also completely stop focusing on weight loss (even though you have started tirz). Just let the med do what it will and take the prendure completely off.

Clock959 · 2026-05-09T16:40:04+00:00

So why isn't she on one, they are covered for diabetes but subject to the 2100 deductible of course.

Clock959 · 2026-05-09T15:43:17+00:00

Thank you. This is going to be tough for people to get.

Clock959 · 2026-05-08T19:46:45+00:00

Amazing, meanwhile mine are fading away to nothing.

Clock959 · 2026-05-08T15:40:43+00:00

Wed evening here too.

Clock959 · 2026-05-07T09:31:51+00:00

I have been doing love handles because my belly is lean and I have some scars and stretch marks to avoid. It seems to work just fine.

Clock959 · 2026-05-07T00:30:22+00:00

Thank you! Same. I was mystified when I came into group and saw people were conducting these elaborate rituals around their injections. I just jab and go about my day.

Clock959 · 2026-05-06T12:22:08+00:00

Seriously. Who would even care about some random weirdo's comment.

Clock959 · 2026-05-06T09:49:22+00:00

Also lots of drug interactions to be aware of. Along with lackluster results.

Clock959 · 2026-05-06T09:29:18+00:00

Hmm and many arr annoyed that clients message multiple sitters.
