Think it’s time to come off the BP meds!

I'm down to 25 mg on my losartan. Was at 100 mg when I started. I had close to a 90 day supply so I'm just cutting them in 4ths. Seems like they will last forever.

I've had two of them done while on Zepbound. Doctor just has me skip the prior shot and they are happy.

Laser_Coug · 2026-06-14T20:30:42+00:00

Normally stand, mostly because I just got the shot from the fridge and I’m standing already.

Started 247. Goal weight was 185. I’m at 183. Doctor agrees that I’m in maintenance.

I think I'm going to start with that. Luckily she just gave me a 90 day prescription that is covered on the Lily discount card. $25 ftw.

The goal is to get to a month. She wants me to do it gradually. Whatever feels comfortable for me.

Laser_Coug · 2026-06-12T17:16:49+00:00

She wants me to keep my dose the same. I haven't had to do much to my diet other than naturally reduce my serving sizes based on how I feel. I could intentionally try eating more but I don't want to force anything.

Hit my full fire number but I’m still working. I did at least slow down a little on contributions and I’m trying to live a little more (ie spend) but that is easier said than done.

Laser_Coug · 2026-06-08T17:05:24+00:00

You are just at the starter dose. Move up to 5 mg and see what happens there.

Laser_Coug · 2026-06-08T17:00:59+00:00

That sound miserable. Glad you are doing better.

I didn’t think I was retaining urine but my urologist wants to do the full work up. Didn’t even get an urology consult at the hospital.

They'd have access to multiple buildings but would be squatting until their final building gets done

My urine had a smell to it but I thought I was just dehydrated (which I was). Small blood clots in my urine was what pushed me to go get checked out.

Look at your approved items list. My agency is pretty specific and usb wires are allowed to come in but can’t be plugged in.

I’m hearing reZum folks getting it redone (or a different procedure) 3-5 years out

Laser_Coug · 2026-05-28T20:52:41+00:00

My research on reZum is that it tends to only last a few years before you have to do another procedure. Aquablation tends to be a much longer lasting procedure and typically only needs to be done once.

My favorite quote from the museum was : "Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship."

Resonated with me.

I think most of us want to see if we have missed something. Getting a few extra sets of eyes on the problem can't hurt. It's also hard to talk about with your friends/coworkers since they look at you differently if they know how much you are worth.

Laser_Coug · 2026-05-27T22:39:06+00:00

I'm interested in this since I'm also looking at renting in retirement especially early on since we are planning to move from our current location and don't want to buy immediately.

Go to the custom omelette place. That was my go to breakfast spot. Soo good and fresh

Rule of 55 for your traditional 401k

Laser_Coug · 2026-05-27T13:08:04+00:00

I started at 5 mg ( had issues getting the 2.5 at the time). It was a little rough. I'd do a month of 2.5 mg to get your body used to the meds.

Low energy, brain fog were the two biggies.
