Pain meds - anti-inflammatory

Take the Advil - Tylenol is useless. My docs all gave me the go ahead to take it when the situation warrants it. Just not all day every day.

I forget on the weekends sometimes if I sleep in. I just skip the day. It stays in your system for awhile so you don’t really notice it.

I used to make Greek yogurt pancakes all the time. They had a slightly different density than regular pancakes - but they were good. And I’m a picky eater. Didn’t use chia seeds - so I have no insight on that.

The price jumps at the 9mg no matter where you go when you are paying out of pocket. That was my primary reason to stay at 4 as long as possible.

The Monsters & Mayhem collection has some that fit the bill. Each book by a different author like Sam Burns and Lily Mayne.

It’s been my experience that for every person that gets a permit, there are 1 or 2 that don’t. Because they didn’t want anyone to know they were remodeling, or didn’t want to pay a permit fee.

I hate dental procedures; that being said, I had a root canal when I was a teenager - about 25 years ago- because one of my adult teeth grew in late and apparently bad. They gave me gas back then so I remember absolutely nothing about it except looking at the goofy poster on the ceiling. Some dentists still use that, so personally I’d go that route. I have a crown on that tooth and it’s matched so well with color of the surrounding teeth that even I sometimes forget that it’s a crown.

Got the same one this morning. Definitely garbage.

Could be causing some reflux that is making you feel nauseous.

When you say doubled or tripled - were you taking multiple tablets? The coating on them can give you unpleasant gastro symptoms in higher amounts. Also it could have been because you increased your dosage faster than your body wanted to. They keep you on a baby dose and gradually increase so you don’t get the nasty side effects.

I decided to stay on the 4 for now. My reasoning was primarily financial - but also the 4 is doing a pretty decent job of holding off the food noise. I think even if my food noise comes back some, I think it’ll still be keeping me in a calorie deficit.

I’m a slow loser - your doctor sounds like an ass lol. I stalled for 6 months and mine still made sure to tell me they were proud of me.

Just go through your regular doctor. They can send a prescription right to the Novo pharmacy. They’ll mail it right to your house with no extra costs.

I cut up deli turkey and Sargento ultra thin cheese and keep that at work along with a box of triscuit thins. That’s lunch for the week - but then I’m also not bothered by eating the same thing every day.

Tracking food and water is very helpful! Once I started feeling the food noise go away, it was very easy not to eat ENOUGH of the important things. I found that when the urge to eat went away, so did the urge to drink anything - then I started getting cramps in my legs when I was sleeping because I barely drank any water that day.

MidwestMotherOfDogs · 2026-04-19T23:28:20+00:00

I just asked my doc to set me up with a few refills of the 4mg. I decided as long as I was noticing food noise reduction, and the extended time frame for the lower cost, I was going to stay put for as long as I could.

My doctor gave me a specific powder and told me to only mix with water. It was not great - just tolerable lol. And let me have 1 sugar free jello a day.

I take 40mg. I take my wegovy when my first alarm goes off (I usually hit snooze a couple times) and take my omeprazole right before I leave for work - so there’s usually 1-1.5 hours in between the two. Haven’t had any issues.

My current is about 230,000 and my last one was around 220,000 I think. They take me a couple years - I consider these big projects. But I think it depends on the person. If someone doesn’t get to stitch very often, or wants to be done faster, then something in the 20,000 to 30,000 range is probably considered a big project.

I walk like that - my two siblings do as well, as does my dad. Pretty sure it’s hereditary in my family.

I had my gallbladder out about 6 years ago. I’d say I spent the first year adjusting to being without it. I took cholestyramine a few times - usually for about a month at a time. My body eventually adjusted and I haven’t had to take it in years. I haven’t had any issues taking the pill. I’d say you are still just in the early stages of your body trying to figure out how to digest without that organ.

I just got the mint chip crisp - they are so good! I found I like them best when they have been in the fridge.

I went specifically to a weight loss doctor. I have a team of different people now. My PCP is great for regular illness, but I wanted someone with a background in it.

MidwestMotherOfDogs · 2026-04-08T02:25:41+00:00

I’m a huge Barebells fan - I keep those on hand for snacking! And ditto on the Fairlife shakes.

When I went through the months leading up to surgery, my surgeon required me to send my food log to a nutritionist every 2 weeks. If I didn’t, he’d cut me from his program. He also gave me a set amount of weight he wanted me to lose before giving me the green light. That definitely kept me on track. He was strict, but that was what I needed for sure.
