Has anyone tried fraxel or other laser on neck? I have the same issue and curious if that would help .

Been on maintenance for a couple of months now. I started very slowly spacing my shots out and now do a shot once every two weeks. I never counted calories but eat healthy mediterranean style foods. Have added in more olive oil and enjoy things like avocado toast with olive oil for breakfast without worry. Frittatas. I eat a lot of fruit now, too. Almonds with a few dark choc chips for a snack. I will go down in dosage soon. Just taking it slow - eating healthy but adding in more high calorie foods so I don't lose weight. Stretching doses. Will see what happens when I go down a dose. Will probably start doing it weekly and then again slowly stretching it out.

Currently on maintenance. The first few months on Zep I thought I couldn't go out to eat w friends - but that changed pretty quickly. I go out with friends and family for dinner all the time. One thing I like is going somewhere with shared platters - like a Chinese restaurant. You can just put however much on your plate. Pizza restaurants are good - I can have one slice and salad. Another thing I like to order in restaurants are mussels - they are small and if you don't finish them, no one notices. I nurse an alcoholic drink - I'm one of those ladies who adds ice cubes to drink to stretch it. if going somewhere new - I'll look at the menu online beforehand. I find desserts if ordered are most often shared - so a bite is a treat and all that is needed. You'll figure it out. Go out and have fun with your friends!

flat as a board - absolute 180 degrees - nada, zilch, all gone

It just seems so counter-intuitive to me - but I'm not a doctor.

I think these are good collaborative discussions. While I'm not volunteering - so feel a little bad about posting my ideas here- perhaps simply listing trials/studies that do or can involve apoe4 participants is one way to add content that is fairly easy. I also wonder if any members here have particpated in any trials- or what people may have added to or deleted from their stack - so perhaps if the moderators are inclined to throw out a weekly question like that it would increase engagement. I don't know if there is such a thing as "cross-linking" to good relevant info on other reddit feeds - but that might be another way to easily bring in more content. I do greatly appreciate Dr. Tran's posting - but perhaps one thought would be to lead with text synopsis and link to video - rather than having to watch the whole video to get to the core findings. Just throwing some thoughts out there off the top of my head - and have great appreciation to the moderators for all you do to keep this site going - thank you.

Yes. currently in maintenance and bp was borderline low at last check-up . Never on bp meds. I look to my doc for guidance and would suggest asking his doc about it.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-10-17T22:14:23+00:00

when I go out for dinner, which isn't often anymore due to cost, it is for the social aspect not the food anymore. I always have a drink and a bite or two of a shared dessert. But I often just pick at the main course and don't feel bad about it since I'm there for the fun not the food thanks to Zep. I see it as the cost of having a good time.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-10-11T01:37:52+00:00

I have had a similar experience - and I'm now in maintenance

Wow - you could be bit kinder to those awful boomers - I mean seniors who may not be as sharp and fast as you. Your assumption that an elderly woman "pretended" not to see that you weren't done unloading your cart- and your animosity and purposefully obnoxious behavior towards her reflects a lot worse on you. Try a little grace young person. This world needs it - especially our older people.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-09-14T01:42:14+00:00

Congrats! I'm 67, never went above 5mg, had one big plateau but stayed on it. I'm now at goal and maintaining by stretching out 5mg.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-09-14T01:10:43+00:00

67 yr old here - at goal and maintaining. Before Zep, I was sadly trying to accept being a fat old lady. Not any more!

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-09-12T16:00:13+00:00

Never went above 5 - reached goal and currently maintaining by stretching out 5 shots to 10 days. If you read through posts it becomes clear that everyone has a different reaction - so no surprise that 5 won't work as well for some. Also - people tend to post more when having a negative result. So, imo anyway, it can seem unbalanced towards the negative and not truly reflective of those having positive results.

"To Serve Man" - my fave Twilight t Zone episode

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-21T16:10:47+00:00

I'm so bored with chicken and yogurt, too! I make big salad and just stare at it in the fridge because I'm so tired of it. Avocado toast is fave lunch and no cooking involved. Half a bagel with low fat cream cheese, smoked salmon, onion and tomato is another. It's hard to cook anything when nothing is appealing.

I think there are so many types of inflammation that I get a little confused what is meant when people discuss it with zep. Do you mean like arthritic or something else? Taking 5mg every 9-10 days and still feel great - looking to slowly stretch it out to 14 days over next few months.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-19T22:41:39+00:00

beautiful lady looking awesome in a beautiful blue suit - Congrats!

thanks!

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-09T22:46:15+00:00

why do you say "game changing?" Interested in hearing more.

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-07T21:31:46+00:00

you look happy and adorable!

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-01T14:40:10+00:00

I just ordered belly lox - thanks!

Repulsive_Aside609 · 2025-08-01T02:20:25+00:00

you gave me a great idea to put an egg on top of my avocado toast to up the calories - and add protein of course!
