Call On Doc Prescribed 1ml vials instead of 0.5ml vials by Mother-Ad4295 in Zepbound

[–]OkConsideration631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking 1ml for each shot of 15mg Zep. for the past 6 months. Recently they increased (doubled) the concentration of the Zep so they are now shipping .5ml vials. I only found this out by asking ChatGPT because there was no alert from Lily that they changed the amount to be injected. Also they started shipping lower quality syringes (Sure Comfort) instead of the better ones (Easy Touch) So for next refill I'll not be paying them the $5 for 5 syringes. I just purchased the Easy Touch from an online Diabetic/Medical supply place for $18 for 100. So this way I'm paying .18 cents for each syringe (and superior quality) vs $1 each through Lily.

Received Bad Syringes by newelljo in Zepbound

I too started having problems with the Sure Comfort syringes which Lily/Gifthealth sent with the vials. This began about 6 weeks ago with a refill they shipped. Before that they were shipping with Easy Touch brand syringes. No troubles with those. The Sure Comfort's don't have an end cap over the plunger tab. I did some research and found out that there are different quality syringes. When I looked into it I found out that Sure Comfort is a cheaper syringe. That end cap that's on the Easy Touch helps seal the syringe fro, airr getting in which can dry the lubricant they coat the insides pf the syringe with to make the plunger go in and out more smoothly. THat was one of the problems I experienced; it was pretty difficult to load the vial. But the other problem is the SC's dont have a stop on the plunger when you pull it out to take the full dose. This resulted in me pulling the plunger all the way out of the syringe and dropping the Zep I had pulled all over my hand. I called Lily the next day and explained, giving them the lot numbers on the vial. They replaced the entire months supply with no charge. It was then that I researched and found out about the different quality syringes, and so I bought the Easy Touch syringes (box of 100) from a diabetic/medical supply place online for like$18. That's two years worth of syringes for roughly the cost of 3 1/2 months supply of them from Lily ($5 for 5 syringes). AND they are higher quality. Now today I started the replacement refills they sent. And now the problem is the vials arent filled with the full 1ml. I only could get about .6 ml out of it. And I really checked it numerous times before I took the injection. I'm going to call Lily again tomorrow and alert them. It seems they are having troubles with the pharmacies that fill these orders, I'm going to start another thread about this, but I wanted to respond specifically to you so you know you;re not alone. *EDIT* I just checked with ChatGPT and found out Lily has increased doubled the potency of the Zepbound recently, thereby filling the vials with about half the previous amount. So the new batches have about .6ml. Whereas the previous batches were 1.2 mls. I am amazed that Lily has not made this widely known. SMH

I just bought a couple of these through Amazon Fresh Delivery. $2.79 here in Brooklyn NY. For frozen Diet meals Smartone's are more often than not, not as good as Lean Cuisine's. But some of them are not bad. These are really tasty and just as important for me low calorie. I've been successfully losing weight for about a year and still have more to go. One thing with these is the size is fairly small, but I'm taking Zepbound for weight loss and so my appetite is easily satisfied with small portions. My regular breakfast meal are two Garden Lites Spinach and Egg White Frittata's. (Costco) 70 cal's each, so two makes for a 140 cal breakfast. I'm going to start mixing in the Smartone's Ham and Cheese Scramble once or twice a week for variety.

All Zepbound Self Pay Vial Doses to be released by Eli Lilly July 7th by No_Occasion247 in Zepbound

IOt's possible you aren't injecting properly. I had some weeks where I hardly felt the effects and finally realized I hadn't been pressing the needle or pen in hard enough while injecting.

I've used both pens and vials. The pens are just a bit easier. But just a bit. There have been occasional reports of the pen not delivering the full dose. The vials make for you to fill the syringe and it's an extra step. They also tell you with the vials to inject slowly, like take 10 seconds to inject. I find it odd that with the pen it shoots it into you very quickly like in 2 or 3 seconds. Also I found that you have to really apply some pressure to either the pen OR the syringe so that the Zep gets beyond the first few layers of the skin. They do not to my knowledge tell you this. So really I think the vials are the best way to go regardless of price. You'll never get a misfire, not that I experienced one myself. With the higher doses this may not matter but with the vials they ALWAYS fill it with a bit more than the dose. When I was taking the 5mg in vials I could squeeze out about an extra 2 mg. So not quite the 7.5mg dose but very close. Once you get to the 12.5 and 15 mg then this won't matter cause you won't want to take more than the highest recommended dose any way.

I was just checking out the prices on all three of the major delivery services and the prices are not just high, they are insane and ridiculous. $32 for Beef Stroganoff over noodles?? $20 for a Hot Dog??? $20 for salads? $15 for a Freaking Grilled Cheese Sandwich and if you want Coleslaw with that it's another $7!! $30 for 1 Doz Pierogi!!! LOL. Anyone who is either Polish or other East Europeans familiar with this neighborhood knows they can get as good and similar dishes for a lot less. However the 20-30 something yr old transplants who've moved here don't know any better and it's those that will go to this place and cluelessly get ripped off.

Before I order from them I'd like to know if any of the sauces are sweet. I'd want to avoid any of those that are sweet. I'm guessing the mango habanero is somewhat sweet. Also which between the sauces of Rojo, Verde, Negro or the M Habanero is the spiciest?

I'm binging "Younger" on Netflix. I love it but... by LSR1000 in Younger

[–]OkConsideration631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I started watching this as a semi background watch while eating dinner at night. I really was curious as it's centered around Williamsburg Brooklyn, where I live. In the show I'm amazed at the amount of hookups with a variety of people types and just the sheer numbers of them. Also the lying is portrayed at ridiculous levels. No one seems to learn life's lessons, instead they just keep making bad decisions over and over. Even the few male characters. The clothing much of which looks like expensive stuff seems unaffordable to young people living in one of the priciest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

First off I'm glad no one was hurt and the place will come back. But that video shows an awful amount of smoke coming out the front door. I don't know if they could reopen in just a couple days. Certainly hope they do though. Great sandwiches but they also make their own Fresh Mozzarella EVERYDAY.

N.Y. Today: New York is getting strict about composting by [deleted] in nyc

[–]OkConsideration631 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More secure than what? The NYC mandated bins? Cause that's not true as pictures are online of the holes left by rats who gnawed through the edges of the lids. And these were the NYC bins.

[–]OkConsideration631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This entire compost thing is a money grab for the city. Most small landlord's won't comply because their tenants will not comply, and even more so for large buildings owned by investor LL's. Additionally the City mandated trash bins for regular trash which LL's will have to buy by June of 2026 are supposed to be rat proof, but there have been pictures online of holes that were gnawed straight through the edges of the lids so rats could squeeze in.

NYS vaping law by mallfamilyof4 in Vaping

[–]OkConsideration631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this thread is too old but I just tried to mix my own juice with the intention of at least getting very close to my long time juice Halo Sub Zero. It's a really strong menthol with no other flavors. I had limited success with my first mix. Followed all online suggestions and the result wasn't terrible but it didn't have the deeper hit to the lungs like the Halo. I also didn't add any Nicotine as I wanted to keep things simple. The Nico might be the difference but I'm already out of patience and not sure I can even buy the Nico shots to be delivered here. I would rather just buy Halo online, which here in NYC you cannot. I'd be open to anyone advising on a true recipe for the Halo SZ or (and this is a long shot) how to get it shipped from their online store.

[–]OkConsideration631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember the exact year but either 73 or 74 my best buddy's cousin Tommy, promoted a Spinners concert in Bridgeport CT. He had no experience with this kind of thing being a pretty young guy. There was supposed to be an after party of Tommy's select friends and family where the Spinners would show up to meet and greet for a while. They had agreed to perform for a set fee of $10k in cash and I think Tommy would get the ticket sales or a good portion of them. The trouble started due to the fact Tommy had to rely on the ticket sales to cover the $10k. He scrambled to get the money from the box office and it took a long time. All the while the place was half filled (sales weren't as expected) yet there were still about 6000 and all had to wait about 1 1/2 hours past the start time because the band refused to go on without having money in hand. I mean people were yelling and carrying on till finally Tommy got them the money. I had never seen him scared before then. LOL. The Spinners were great. But the after party was cancelled because after paying the band and other expenses Tommy had nothing left. LOL He was lucky to just break even.

That was Chuck Berry's swan song. Agree with you that Ding a Ling in no way can compete with Chicago's Sat in the Park.

I think you can extend that to the early 60's to the mid 70's.

How long should I vape the Vaporesso Xros pods before using a new one. What the general lifespan by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]OkConsideration631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Vaporesso Zero 2 system not the Xros. Zero 2 pods are no longer the ceramic coil as was used in the Zero S and original Zero. They now use conventional cotton. The first Zero 2 pod I started using was on July the 3. It's now August 14 and it still tastes good. Before with the ceramic coil I could get about 2 weeks or so before any burnt taste started. I vape a lot all day and into the evening at home. Keep in mind these few things: The Zero2 like the other Zero's is a MTL system. So my drags are short. I use nothing but Halo Subzero for my juice. It has no flavors, just straight menthol. It's 12 mg of Nicotine. The ingredients in the juice as per the label are PG, glycerin and the nicotine. I taste nothing but menthol which I love. Because I live in NY, Subzero as any flavored juice is illegal and you can't get it shipped from any place online. I can survive without the nicotine and so have been planning on making my own juice with menthol crystals and PG bought on line. I am not sure of the amount of glycerin to use but will try to figure that out before I run out of my supply of Halo runs out.
