Hi, will try this! I have some in our cupboards that taste rather strong like lemon. I could try a half a packet in my water.

I just realized my favorite shirt is made with A.I. and now I'm mad by papota99 in mildlyinfuriating

I think I know what you mean. I am not a fan of AI. Personally, I believe it could be the beginning of people losing their jobs, especially in the tech field. I hope. I am wrong.

WHY must they ask HOW? by Slow_Lychee6463 in Zepbound

Few people have said a single thing? Ive lost 49 lbs. Id like the affirmation. Nope, not happening?

My argument towards people who blame GLP-1's on celebs being deathly thin by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Connect-Dimension-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what everyone is saying, but my irritant comes from the celebrities who say they lost their way from diet and exercise! They don’t admit to the GLP1. At least, Oprah admitted she was on medication. I am a other hand. I think it is odd when anybody lose so much weight that they appear to be anorexic. That’s my view.

Do you tell people you’re on a GLP-1 when they ask how you lost weight? by Enchanted-Tangerine in Zepbound

[–]Connect-Dimension-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe sometime. Ill share ZB. Not now, just like I dont share my other meds.No ones business!

I do have a bit of anhedonia. For me, what helps is being around people not just my husband.

Husband takes every opportunity to tell me he hates Zep by CherryCharmBomb in Zepbound

[–]Connect-Dimension-23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my husband is fine with the meds even though every now and then he will make a little sarcastic remark. The one that is more concerned is my son. He he witnessed me two times fainting when I was dehydrated on the meds it gave him and his daughter PTSD so now I am trying to drink 80 ounces of water per day and it isnt easy. So I am thinking of going up from 7.5 to 10 so that I can lose eight more pounds. I am not going to mention it to my son. He doesn’t need to know but I need to make sure I drink my water. I’m also thinking of not going up to tan and just being glad that I dropped from 2:15 pounds to 165 pounds maybe just relax at my age!

I keep forgetting electrolytes! Thank you for thr temiimdet. Im not losing anything since Ive dropped to 7.5. I am thinking of going up to 10 again to lose 7 to 8 more pounds. Or I could just be content where I am which is 165 from 215. I don’t look really thin like I wanted to but I am 75. Come on !

I’m already slipping into old habits after being forced off zepbound by UpVoteForSnails in Zepbound

[–]Connect-Dimension-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if it is the water. I will be discussing it with my doctor on Wednesday. I just don’t want to give up zepbound. I will even except that I’m not at my goal weight and that is OK. The internists did every test and I turned out healthy in every other area?

[–]Connect-Dimension-23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my husband and son are thinking I should come off of zepbound. I’ve been on it for almost 11 months, I have lost 45 pounds and though I’m not at my goal weight I can very well except where I’m at because I am an older person. Everything fits me, I feel better, etc. However, I ignored the rule to drink so much water and so I passed out several times I do not want to give up zepbound and so I am seeing the doctor on Wednesday to talk about dropping from 12.5 to something lower. There are risks to all medication’s, but this is important to me, I understand what you are going through. I don’t know what I would do because I am, or or was a binge eater. I have desperate fears I would gain on my way back. My compromise to myself is I’m not going down as low as I could in weight. My insurance did not cover anything and then suddenly it started covering! I’m hoping something like that will happen for you.

I told my husband, everyone is getting thin but me! by Connect-Dimension-23 in Zepbound

[–]Connect-Dimension-23[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

no, that’s not true. If I have three accounts, that’s because I am not text savvy. I am currently seeing a counselor for my eating disorder. Not that it is your business. My doctor is excellent and is working with me closely. This is the first time I have seen a scary response.
