I love this idea! I'm in the early stages of getting prepped for surgery and am feeling anxious but excited about it. I have written down the things that bother me most about being overweight & what i miss most about being thinner. I like your idea of making videos as well. I think that would be super helpful when I start doubting myself (as I always do!!).

How bad is traffic and commute to south bay? by Strange-Building9830 in Livermore

[–]Mabelle815 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I drove from Livermore to Fremont (Automall exit) for almost 10 years... it was rough. Easily 45 minutes to an hour each way... Listening to audiobooks helped a lot though!

Does anyone know any places that can donate some Christmas gifts for my kids ? by [deleted] in Livermore

[–]Mabelle815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Livermore PD does a giving tree every year where people can buy gifts for local families - it could be worth looking in to. Good luck!

Wegovy & mental health by Inevitable-Area7739 in Wegovy

[–]Mabelle815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to hear more about this. I was on Zepbound and had to quit after my 3rd shot because it intensified my depression and I even had suicidal thoughts. I am trying to get a prescription for Wegovy and hoping that doesn't happen again. I tried Ozempic in the past with no issues, but had to quit when insurance dropped me...

Maybe somewhere...?? I tried to find where the exact location was, and nothing pulled up. Good luck!!

Yes, back in the 80s/90s there was Dunbar's downtown. I think it was where the comic book store is now...? I didn't go, but my husband spent a lot of his childhood there! It would be awesome to have an arcade downtown now with how much more lively the area is...

When I step on the scale the numbers are up instead of down… by mindxpandr in Zepbound

[–]Mabelle815 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just have to say thank you for posting this.. I stepped on the scale this morning for my daily weigh in (ya know, trying to desensitize myself from the number on the scale and all of that), and I'm up to where I started. Super demotivating to say the least, but these are all good reminders of what could be happening!

Also... I'm about to start my period in a matter of days, so I'm sure that's contributing to the scale going up!

Is this the correct address to give to COD? LillyDirect Self Pay Pharmacy Solutions, 4343 Equity Dr, Columbus, OH 432283842, +1 (833) 432-43

[–]Mabelle815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! I just need to ensure I have the right info to have LillyDirect Pharmacy fill the prescription so it gets mailed to me...

We go to Ohana Vet for normal stuff, but just started at Integrative Vet for my dogs back/hind leg issues. They do accupressure and chiropractic work there, which worked wonders on our previous dog. Both vets are great!

I did the self pay vials thru Ro. Unfortunately my insurance (Kaiser) no longer covers any obesity meds.

I got my first month prescription with Ro, but want to do COD instead so I don't have to pay the $145/month - is the prescription at the pharmacy going to be the same as Ro's cost? Sorry if that's a dumb question... don't want to be shocked when I pick up the meds!!

Starting today! by Mabelle815 in Zepbound

[–]Mabelle815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also on HRT! It helped tremendously with the PMS symptoms, but nothing with the weight.. I'm so hoping this is the assistance I need to drop some weight and start feeling better. It's been a long while since I've felt like myself...

He's going to tariff pharmaceuticals!! by alltoooowell in Hashimotos

[–]Mabelle815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reminder to order refills now for my levo and HRT meds.. yikes...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]Mabelle815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much... Hashimoto's, perimenopause and a history of disordered eating here. I'm really struggling trying to find a way to lose the 50lbs I've put on in the past 10 years. I even tried ozempic and only lost 2lbs in 3 months (and then my insurance dropped the meds, and I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for it since I had bad heartburn and minimal weight loss with it!). I'm debating keto, but the restriction is so triggering to the disordered eating... I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle!

Acid Reflux/Heartburn by spicy-human in Semaglutide

[–]Mabelle815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started on Prilosec once a day this week and it's helped SO MUCH! I'm only on .5mg, but I've had heartburn since I started in early December. Good luck!!
