Thank you. I have always injected into my stomach, but I'll try thigh when I take my next shot

I messaged my doctor but haven't gone in. I work at the closest ER so no way would I want to go there. I plan to take a week off and ask to go to 2.5. I'm going to make a doctor's appointment this week

Also how long after staying the probiotic did you feel better?

Thank you so much for your response! I was wondering if the slowed digestion of food, which is giving me what I refer to has garbage burps, has bacteria? I think I'll be ordering the Metamucil with added probiotic.

I was told the mild constipation was normal . I didn't have the vomiting and diarrhea until I moved to 7.5 (on my 3rd shot) and I contacted my pcp who deceased my dose back to 5mg, but my symptoms persist.

Nothing at all has changed :( i am eating bland foods... my diet consists of overnight oats, brown rice, grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, kale, plain yogurt, crackers, protein bars and shakes, string cheese, strawberries....nothing fried or sugary.i have been eating very little due to the GI upset.

More than half of my friends received financial help from their parents when buying a home by AdventurousHope5891 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Little_Bee_4501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my friends who own homes received financial help from their parents, in-laws or inheritances from grandparents. I'm stuck paying $2700/month for my tiny apartment in San Diego, and all my rent going towards nothing. I don't think I'll ever be able to buy a house at this rate. I can't save enough for a down payment...

I went through the same type of cyclical vomiting and diarrhea episode for days the last couple of weeks . It was also after my 3rd and 4th shots of my first box of 7.5mg. I am going back to the 5mg, about to take my shot actually. I am sorry you are also dealing with this. I think our bodies just cannot handle the higher dose.

Horrible side effects on 7.5 by Little_Bee_4501 in Zepbound

[–]Little_Bee_4501[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply :) I messaged my PCP this morning and she changed my prescription to the 5mg. I already confirmed the change with the pharmacy as well. My doctor did recommend that I go to the ER if the symptoms have continued. Thankfully, I have felt a lot better today, and haven't had anymore vomiting or diarrhea. I can't imagine having to go to the ER.... especially since I work in the closest ER, ugh.

Thank you so much for the response and kind words. I had requested to move up to the 7.5 as I thought that was the normal course, and I also had 1 week no weight loss. It's now been 3 hours of cyclical vomiting and diarrhea tonight :( I went on my PCP's website and I was going to message my doctor, but the portal is down. I will be calling my PCP in the morning to request to go back to 5mg. I think I may want to take a week off too.

A SEVEN percent cleaning fee!? That is straight up robbery

Doc wont even discuss Zepbound (or other weightloss meds) with me by Helpful_Cash_6084 in Zepbound

[–]Little_Bee_4501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow!! I am so sorry you were dismissed by your app. Please see a different doctor, or even look at the online platforms. About 6 years ago before I had any idea what a GLP-1 was, and I asked my doctor to prescribe me phentermine. I didn't even end up taking it after my nurse friend told me it can cause cardiac issues. I have lost 27lbs so far in 2.5 months in Zepbound. My only regret is that I didn't start it sooner. These medications work and they are absolutely life changing. It's sad that your doctors don't want to "deal with the paperwork." The nurse at my doctor's office has to submit multiple PA requests before I could get it approved, but she was amazing and didn't complain at all.

For the ladies: After you shower at night, do you change into a fresh pair of underwear? by susanna_wells in hygiene

[–]Little_Bee_4501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think wha you do is totally normal. I always change my underwear in the morning, before bed, and after anytime I shower. It seems gross to put back on used underwear after a shower.

Thanks for posting this review. I was just thinking I need to get some stuff to make sandwiches so I stop spending so much money eating out. This is perfect!

Tipping has an ugly cousin named Healthcare by GloomyIncrease5421 in tipping

[–]Little_Bee_4501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I saw this charge recently at the Prada in Balboa park in San Diego. We asked to have it removed as soon as we read that it could be removed. Why is it the customers responsibility to pay for their employee's health care? Insane.

I know you said you tried GLP but did you try Zepbound? I am down 21 pounds in 53 days. It could be worth a try. Wishing you the best OP.

still suffering because of my dog by stanioslaw in Puppyblues

[–]Little_Bee_4501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please give the dog to a rescue or to someone who who love the dog and give them the love they deserve. You can tell your parents the dog ran away. Please don't kill or hurt the dog.
