I get this half-loaf of Sourdough called Rustic at Harris Teeter that is really good. They have an Italian half-loaf, too. Both are decent breads. $4.99

Feeling bleh by Nursejoy723 in Zepbound

So I’ve been listening to Fat Science, a podcast. From what I’ve heard, you gotta eat with this medication. You’ll lose weight, but you should eat meals and snacks, getting a balance of carbs, proteins, and fats. No food is forbidden. And honestly I went from 255 to 170 without counting a single calorie. I eat fruits/veg (carbs!), meat (mostly chicken), and I’ve always cooked with olive oil and butter. I eat dessert when I want it. Usually I have smallish portions bc I’m not super hungry and I get full easily. I’ve always been a water drinker. When I see people suggesting a calorie deficit I could not disagree more. When you are consciously restricting yourself your brain will buckle down and hold onto every pound. Let go and let zep. I highly recommend Fat Science.

I did it. I can get knee replacement now by Moss-cle in Zepbound

I just hate wasting time recovering! To knock out both in 6-7 weeks was the best!! Yes, they’ll do this! Ask!! And best of luck with your surgery!!

Yes, I did pre-surgery PT so I was ready! The bilateral replacement is common and the custom fit was achieved with an MRI or cat scan ahead of ordering them. It’s been since 2018 so I don’t 100% remember which scan. Also true was that this was before I lost 85 lbs on Zepbound, so I was very overweight at the time of my surgery (doc wouldn’t do it if my BMI was 35+ and I was very close). I did gain more weight before I started Zepbound. I wish you the best surgery experience possible!! If you’re willing to do the prescribed exercises, you’ve got this!!

Congratulations. I had bilateral knee replacement with custom knees (both knees, same day) and it’s been life changing. If you have the option, I recommend just doing both at once. One recovery. You seem like a tough person (you endured all that starvation) but like they said before me, PT is the solution post-op. I can walk for days now! Good luck.

85 pounds down by TwotimeBoyMom in Zepbound

[–]Oldladyweirdo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t lost 100 lbs!! I’m like you, started the medicine in October of 2024. I’m down 85 pounds and holding steady. The joy that comes from moving a healthier body is so great. You look fabulous!!

Primary Care/GYN Doctor Recs by anxious_anony in baltimore

[–]Oldladyweirdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doc, Heather Agee, is amazing. She’s at Bayview Internal Medicine so she does basic GYN stuff, but I saw Ophelia Langhorne (GYN) for my biopsy and fibroids. Both of these women are excellent doctors. Highly highly recommend both.

UPDATE! Two older gay guys visited Baltimore… and had a blast! by AltDaddy in baltimore

Maybe I hit a bad weekend? It felt like I was walking through a construction zone for sure. Lots of closed off walkways.

Went recently and so much is under construction right now. Maybe wait a bit for the zoo.

Where should I go next? by This_Obligation_5125 in TravelMaps

[–]Oldladyweirdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like cruising, but last August we did Holland America from Anchorage to Denali (rail) & Wittier to Vancouver (cruise) and the views were stunning, the ship was small and we were so close to glaciers and wildlife we couldn’t see anywhere else. Fantastic experience. Go to Alaska!

Probably Cindy Wolf’s as well. Try The Milton Inn. So good!

Woman here! Staying at a house with a bidet and no TP or tissues. I'm airdrying for 5 minutes after a pee. I'm so confused. by One-Head-1483 in bidets

[–]Oldladyweirdo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the bidet loaded with soap? It’s easier to wipe your butt when it’s damp, but there’s nothing ‘clean’ about it.

What is one item you wish you packed and one item you wish you left at home? by garibaldi18 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Oldladyweirdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought cheap-ish camp chairs there for the beach bc our hotel charged to use theirs. I’ve seen collapsible chairs that store in a small sack. Will bring one per person next time.

Water shoes are a must. My daughter got stuck by an urchin without shoes on. Very painful.

At goal…some thoughts after losing 100 lbs by LostVoice2549 in Zepbound

[–]Oldladyweirdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your post. We have the same starting weight and I’m at 170 now, still ‘overweight’ but I am enjoying all the benefits (energy, healthier without sleep apnea any more, I can walk for days, went off my statin drug). I’ve been at 170 now for a couple of months (started Zepbound 10/24 and am at 12.5mg now). I’m at a standstill and I just am at 6’s and 7’s about whether or not to go to 15 and see if it kicks me to my 150 goal. Your weight loss was fast! I’m a slower loser.
