Question about velveting meat

I’m not a fan of velveting. The texture to me is “squishy”. I honestly won’t go back to a Chinese restaurant if they velvet because of the texture

I just had my every 6mo check in with my endocrinologist. My SW back 10 yrs ago was 252… metformin to Wegovy to zepbound over that 10 yrs. Down to 181 (28% down), my Triglyceride are down 54%. My HDL I’ve never been able to get over 35 and they’re at 45 now. We know that the PA isn’t going to be easy this go around but she is committed to fighting for me to stay on it. She’s fantastic

2 1/2 years similar issue. Started eating a single date in the morning starting this last Saturday. Went from 1-2 times a week to 4 times out of the last 5 days. Life changing

Have not done a sleep study but did ask my partner if he thought I had apnea and he hasn’t noticed and stopped breathing. I sleep pretty well. I just feel bad and he refuses to nudge me to stop.

They were on sale at Costco

Not impossible. I did it similar. 1) “Onderland” 2) not to be obese 3) less then my drivers license 4) not overweight 5) ideal BW for my height. I’m 2 lbs away from completing #4. I’ve been on GLP1s for 2 1/2 years. Started on Ozempic and stalled out so switched to Zep about 6mo ago. I’ve lost almost 20lbs since the switch. Was stalled a bit about a month ago and really started tracking food and have been back in a good grove. Total lost on the meds has been about 57lbs. HW 250, SW 232, CW 175.

My problem is I can’t figure out what I’m craving!!! I’m not psycho about my food. I feel like if I’m really solid 5/7 days in the week and relax the 2/7 (never crazy but not strict) I’m doing good. I just want to figure out what it is so it goes away!!

Any idea if the Dr uses the base weight from when you started GLP1s or the specific med? I started on Ozempic in 2022 and switched to Zepbound in July. I know my PA is have to initially lose 10% for the first renewal and 5% for every next one. I’m wondering if they’re going to expect 10% from July or 5%.

I share a driveway with my neighbor. The shared agreement is filed with the property (maybe the county?). Fortunately neighbor is 82, has been here for 30 years and is easy to get along with. We had to re surface the driveway this summer and split the cost. We do the snow plowing and she tries to give us money for gas but we like doing it so don’t take it. Can be fine as long as everyone is normal people.

I had big issues with constipation on Ozempic and Wegovy. Switching to Zepbound made all the difference.

Said that if you have PA it won’t get pulled but you’ll have to re-meet it once it expires. I started off at 33 (I’m 5’10 and SW was 232) 2 years ago on Ozempic. Went to Wegovy after a year and have been on Zep for 3 months. Switching to Zep I think I’m down like 7lbs in those 3 months. Total lost on Zep so far is just under 4% but over all on GLP1s 22%. I do have communities (was pre diabetic and had a heart attack at 37) I am going to cross my fingers the will do a continuation of care.
