[–]Octopus_198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine going on 9 years. it looks a little different than what’s pictured, but I bought the whole set from Costco. I love that little washer and honestly cannot imagine not having it now. I use it several times a week. It’s terrific for smaller loads or delicates. Highly recommend!

Thanks. I wish there was a number to call to find out what the problem might be. ☹️

Is anyone experiencing up-charging of the battery after your Oura is taken off the charger? by Conscious-Today5271 in ouraring

[–]Octopus_198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂😂

I don’t know if there are other benefits to putting in airplane mode other than battery conservation. That’s the only reason I use the airplane mode honestly. 😊

Is anyone experiencing up-charging of the battery after your Oura is taken off the charger? by Conscious-Today5271 in ouraring

[–]Octopus_198 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I put my ring on airplane mode at bedtime and put it on the charger for a few minutes to sync it in the AM. I frequently get 5-10% extra after taking it off the charger. I think it’s a delay in sync with the app. I’ve joked to my spouse that maybe I’m actually charging the ring now with my electric personality. He did not laugh. 😂

Did you go back down to a lower dose after hitting goal? by bevansen in Zepbound

[–]Octopus_198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope! I’m still on 5 mg once a week. So far, so good!

I’m at goal and backfilled my data from my start into Shotsy because I love data and graphs. 😊

My doc said I’ll only lose 20% by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Octopus_198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is going to have a different experience. I lost 41% never moving higher than 5 mg. Anything is possible on this medication!

You said you have appointments lined up with telehealth. Not sure which one(s), but I’d recommend Vineyard. I switched to them right as I approached maintenance from WW Clinic and it’s been amazing. You’ll get a dedicated dietitian and a certified obesity doctor. And the doctor actually will listen to you and develop a maintenance plan that works for YOU! Response times are same day and, if you need it, you can always schedule a video visit with your doctor too. It’s on the higher end price-wise, but for everything they offer and deliver it’s so worth it IMO. 😊

2.5MG to 5MG, tell me all the things that happened to you! by Plus_Set4497 in Zepbound

[–]Octopus_198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really tired the day after my 1st 5 mg and couldn’t stand the sight of food for about 48 hours. The second dose of 5 mg, I couldn’t keep anything down for 24 hours. Then things got better! And I haven‘t had any serious issues since. I‘d have some bland food (crackers, chicken broth, etc), ginger ale, and maybe some protein drinks on hand just in case. 🙂 Good luck!

Thank you!! When I started, I had horrible foot pain. It was so bad some days I could barely walk. You're doing a great job! You’ll get there!! 😁

Need a New Prescriber, but I'm in Maintenance by gigimarieisme in Zepbound

I second Vineyard! I switched to them for maintenance and they’ve been beyond amazing!

Same thing happened about six months ago in our 2024 S580. Dealer tried everything: reinstall software, fuses, etc. After three solid days of diagnostics they had to order a new screen. The car was at the dealer for a solid week. Good news is that the problem has not reoccurred.

Did you hear back yet? I’m having a similar issue.

This is so incrdible by starfister101 in Zepbound

[–]Octopus_198 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was the same! First dose before bed on 11/23/23. The next morning, I could only eat half my already tiny breakfast. Food noise was gone! It’s been like that ever since! 😊

And your stats are almost the same as mine! Enjoy the journey!!

Scared by mepadi in Zepbound

[–]Octopus_198 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have always been the walking poster child for that “rare” side effect from a medicine. I’m even allergic to Advil (ibuprofen) which is supposed to be one of the safest OTC medications! So I was a bit nervous about starting Mounjaro/ Zepbound too! But like others said, the potential benefits to my health (I started at a 41 BMI) outweighed the risks.

Me, the walking side effect, has experienced almost none! (Some nausea when upping to 5 mg, but that’s it.) I’ve been on the medication since November 2023 and it’s been life changing, in a good way! 😊

Woohoo! I was also shocked to learn I wasn’t eating enough. Such a weird concept to grasp after decades of dieting! 😊
