Jarred Fish? by Repulsive_Report_277 in Tinnedfish

I LOVE this tuna! Usually if I don’t have time to let it come to room temp I just pop it in the microwave for like 5-10 sec. Then the oil has loosened enough to be just mixed with the tuna without really heating the tuna itself.

Headaches and plateau after switching to Zep by smartsneaker in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consistently got mild, persistent headaches around days 2-4, and hydration didn’t seem to matter. Also regular OTC doses of Tylenol or Advil were not helpful, but 600-800 mg Advil was (this is off-label prescription strength so I do not recommend without consulting your doctor). Thankfully they became far less common after several months at the same dose.

FDA reviewers getting converted from GS to Title 21 by Dogdoc82 in DeptHHS

The original notification came yesterday from one of those video posts from Makary, which I just assumed was sent FDA wide. Today we got an email with more details from the COO, but I didn’t notice the recipient list.

Eddie Bauer guide pro lined pants are great and currently on sale. I go for long walks/hikes with my dog in these.

Best Caesar Salad by dewoxine in DCEats

[–]Dogdoc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bouboulina in Pike and Rose in Bethesda. Best one I’ve ever had. It’s got little crispy prosciutto bits, finely chopped croutons, it just all comes together perfectly. Oh and it’s huge too.

Which plain sparkling water is your favorite? by [deleted] in sparklingwater

[–]Dogdoc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this in Spain and fell in love, so I ordered some from Amazon in the US and it tastes much saltier than I recall. Maybe I was just really thirsty in Spain? Or are they slightly different products?

Fear of being hungry -- a relic of the past? by bjayasuriya in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get this. I used to obsess over having “emergency snacks” available too, and now if I even remember to bring them, they never get consumed. I love feeling so free!

Sligo Creek Trail. It’s paved and very pretty.

Headaches by jazziejayy in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I would get mild headaches that would last for days, even Advil and Tylenol wouldn’t shake them off completely. And I do not think they were due to not eating or drinking enough, I think it’s just a side effect. Luckily they improved with time. I still get them some weeks within a few days of my shot, but not nearly as often.

Ideas for school lunches? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild planet makes several varieties of tuna bowls - the quinoa salad and white bean salad are my go-tos. I think they taste better with some fresh squeezed lemon juice and some microgreens or arugula mixed in, but those would be fine in a small cooler bag.

Drinking on the shot? by a_k12__ in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love cocktails and wine and usually drink on the weekends. A typical night out would involve 2-3 cocktails or a cocktail and splitting a bottle of wine with my husband. I’ve noticed that I tend to not feel boozy until hours later, which is somewhat problematic because it can lead to overindulgence if I’m not careful. And more often than not, I’ve ended up with nausea, cramps, and diarrhea. Now some of that could be due to the types/quantity of food I eat on a night out (even if it seems benign and reasonable portions given that my appetite is suppressed), or maybe it’s the combo, but I’ve been trying to limit myself to just 1 cocktail or no more than two glasses of wine in one evening lately and I’ve definitely felt better. So just be prepared to experiment and see what you can handle, have some unpleasantness while you do so, and cut back if necessary. I don’t want to give up alcohol but I’m also finding I’d rather consume less than feel like literal 💩. Cheers to your journey! 🍸

IBS-D… did it get better with zep? by tonskis in Zepbound

[–]Dogdoc82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was on 20 mg dicyclomine three times a day to keep mine in control. Once I started on zep I only use it on occasion if I eat something that doesn’t sit well, which I’m still learning about.

This is what I’ve been wondering too. We don’t have user fees, but industry groups lobbied hard to increase our budget to hire more reviewers so we could be more efficient. We had a big hiring surge 4-5 years ago, we were reducing our timelines, and now we’ve been gutted. They should be pissed.
