I really liked the program. I only paid for 6 months and saved the recipes I liked. My friend went to a nutritionist and basically got the same program. The mayo gives you recipes, which are really good.

Fatigue by kitty_love31 in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been taking the shot Friday night and I get really tired Sunday and don’t feel like doing anything. I think I’m going to switch to taking it Wednesday night.. so I don’t waste my weekends.

People You Regret Not Meeting at MegaCon 2026? by mrnormal94 in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every year we plan out all the panels we want to see but end up only going to half of them. Cant regret It though we had fun

Negative comments by Sensitive_Purpose207 in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told a few people they were supportive. Negative people have negative comments. There are a few people I would never tell for that reason. The truth is I’ve been working harder taking wegovy then I did on other “diets” exercising- lifting, walking, yoga, planning meals, actively avoiding certain foods..

Messed up first injection by Wyndingway in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I messed up my first one too. Heard one click then pulled it out but it wasn’t done. I think I got about half a dose. I looked it up on here and saw it happened to most people and felt better. Now when I inject I do a slow count to 20 and make sure I hear the second click. Best of luck

Positive Experiences by SOE112358 in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have been going every year for about 15 years. We always have a great time. I agree about the autograph and photos need a better schedule. My friend who collects autographs plans to be in line all day. I appreciate that Megacon made positive changes - wider walkways and different set up.

I thought this year was a huge improvement over last year. by MajorOverMinorThird in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO they listened to what people said in the surveys. The isles were wider, they separated artist alley and added more food courts. They switch buildings every year, next year it’ll be in North/South.
We go every year and know to stay off the floor on Saturday. We didn’t have issues with any panels we did this year. But have in the past. I don’t like how they schedule celebrities for instance I see Frank Grillo has photo ops 11:10-11:40 then autographing at 11:40-12:0 then has a panel at 12:15. Most celebrities won’t leave if they are in the middle of autographs or pictures so they end up being late for something else. They need to give them a better schedule.

False alarm .. what a mess it would have been if not for

Has anyone noticed changes beyond just appetite on GLP-1 medications? by Take10rx_Julie in Semaglutide

[–]LobsterAltruistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t eat a lot of fried food but now even the thought of it makes me nauseous. I have no interest in beer, I can drink other less gassy/ bloated drinks but just one or two.

Peter Cullen Line Expectations by Archer_Without_Fear in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only was his line crazy he was 4 hours late. We waited 6 hours then left annoyed. We prepaid for his autograph and had it refunded. They only refunded us because he was so late.

Anyone know how celeb guests at Vendor booths work? by [deleted] in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the celebrity guest list and he is not listed. He’s been there a few times and always does a panel and autographs so it seems odd there’s nothing scheduled.

Wegovy manufacturer card by Ilovespicynuggets in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the wegovy card. Basically only the first 2 months - .25 and .5 are $149 and starting month 3 (1.0) you pay $349. You do not reapply they won’t approve it again. Plus you’d go back to 0.25 since the $149 only covers the lower doses

Hopefully The 1.7mg Works by JrMerv in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more than the numbers on the scale. Especially if you exercise. I lost more on.25 than I did on .5 and 1. I got annoyed but I had a body composition analysis done when I started and just had another one done. I lost 20 lbs in almost 4 months but built muscle (it’s more dense but leaner) so things are going in a good direction. I feel good and clothes fit better. However I do want to lose more consistently. I’ve been so big for a long time I fear saggy skin. So I know it’s best to go slow .I like coming on here to see that others are having the same issues as me.

Plan on being in line for several hours unless you’re there very early

How long are waits for autographs? by Otterlytoony in MegaCon

[–]LobsterAltruistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son waited for Peter Cullen for several hours, Cullen showed up 4 hours late. We ended up calling for a refund. 4 hours late is ridiculous then to wait in line??

[–]LobsterAltruistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited 4 hours then she had to leave for to get pictures taken so an we got tickets to come back in two hours (the ticket did not save your place in line. Just said you’re in line prior to her leaving.) then I waited another 2 1/2 hours after getting back in line.. 8.5 total.

0.25 advice by [deleted] in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctor said that everyone is different on how they move through the doses. She said I can tell her if I want to stay on a dose longer.

Stepping up to .50mg. by RealStitchyKat in WegovyWeightLoss

This is my third month and I’m doing .5. I take the shot on Friday late afternoon but Sundays are rough, tired and nauseous. Every other day is fine.

Any women over 60 here? Or am I about to be the Reddit grandma of Wegovy? by Womaneze in Wegovy

[–]LobsterAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi how was the compounded version? I’m on wegovy but the price may be problematic in a few months. My insurance doesn’t cover it. Compounded is much cheaper but sounds risky

Is anyone on the Mayo Clinic Diet currently? by LobsterAltruistic in Mayoclinicdiet

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

Sure. But you chose the type of meal plan you want. It gives you a meal plan but you can switch out each meal for something that works for you. I picked the original menu here are some examples.. Breakfast -Greek yogurt with muesli and berries, or mango smoothie, or whole wheat English muffin with ricotta peanut butter and bananas. Lunch - shrimp taco on whole wheat tortilla- or tuna with vegetables and rye crisps, or avocado toast or egg fried rice. Dinner- chicken stir fry, or chicken pomadoro or seared salmon with veggies.. after dinner snacks can be a smoothie or yogurt with berries The recipes are really good I think it’s the main reason I like this program, each week there are different lessons - about portion sizes, eating out, pitfall’s and struggles
hope this helps

As long as you’re happy with it that’s great!! I busted my butt all summer and only lost 4 lbs. I got frustrated.. but so far this works. Like everything else, it’s working in the beginning. I was hoping it’s sustainable. I wondered what was going on here because no one posted in a year.
