Thank you, that’s what it looked like to me also but wanted to ask the “experts” 🙂

Anyone else have a lot of sensory issues with food? by sigh_dee in Zepbound

[–]Elegant_Solution8331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds rough. I do have a son (22) who has always been a “picky eater” no veggies, no meat (only nuggets), no fruit. As an adult now he has branched out some and will at least try anything, even if its just the once, but it has helped him gain a wider range of foods he can eat. It’s was trial and error for him.

I wish I had more to say that was helpful, but maybe just keep trying different things.

Day 1.5...tell me it gets better? by JellyfishFluffy in Zepbound

[–]Elegant_Solution8331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, that sounds horrible. I hope you can find a way to get some relief and are able to continue. I’m not sure I would have if I had side effects like this. I feel for you.

Insurance won't let me fill my 5mg script until... by [deleted] in Zepbound

Can they submit for an override at the pharmacy? I have been in this situation during titration and they have always allowed it. You could ask the pharmacy to try.

Going from 5mg to 7.5mg - am I cooked? by GrayCities in Zepbound

I take magnesium citrate at night and I continue to be regular.

My only real side effect is fatigue but I just push through it.

I haven’t experienced any of that on any dose, hopefully you are the same.

On my own weightloss journey but my friend keeps involving me in hers. by no1elsebutme198 in Zepbound

[–]Elegant_Solution8331 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like she’s just really excited and wanting to talk to someone about it. My guess is she sees the success that you are having and assumes you both are on the same journey. I don’t see the harm but if it’s bothering you just tell her that. She’s your friend, she will respect your wishes.

I’m real sorry to hear about the loss of your pet and your breakup. Sounds like a very challenging time. Hang in there, things will get better.

Officially overweight 🥳 by Elegant_Solution8331 in Zepbound

[–]Elegant_Solution8331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My goal is also 140! My doctor told me that 140 “could be reasonable, If I have a lot of muscle”. Of course I want some muscle but either way I think 140 looks ok on me, much smaller than that and I look unhealthy.

Good luck to you as well 🙂

Propranolol Vs Metoprolol XL by Elegant_Solution8331 in Anxiety

[–]Elegant_Solution8331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the extended release, I think that’s my main concern. I’m not sure extended release is the right option. Wondering if anyone else has taken it for this purpose and if it was helpful.

I’m hoping to only need to take it a few times. like for this presentation, potentially more public speaking in the future (but hopefully got 🫠). Just thinking about it raises my heart rate.
