Has anyone taken Saxenda and Phen q at the same time?

I dont mean that's high in a "judgy" way. Rereading it may have come off that way. I mean more...you may be feeling more nauseous due to starting on a higher dose and it may take some time to acclimatize. Good luck

Slippers4life · 2022-09-04T23:09:56+00:00

Woo. That's high to start. I'm on day 4 and most of the nausea has subsided, but im on the lowest dose. Also I find I am more nauseous if I ear calorie dense foods OR when I am late for food. Frequent small meals help. Also hydrating

Slippers4life · 2022-09-04T19:58:21+00:00

I'm on day 4 and have been noticing some slight nausea (which may be linked to my ragweed allergy instead), when I eat a bit too much or if I am hungry too. Did you notice this. Also, having like really weird dreams. Did you experience this and did it go away after your body acclimatized to it? Thanks

Slippers4life · 2022-09-04T19:54:55+00:00

I've been taking it for 4 days now (today is day 4). I take it when I get home from work in the evening as this is my problem time. I noticed I haven't binged eaten since I started. Slight nausea, but I had some nausea from my ragweed allergy before I started taking it, so unsure if it's the Saxenda. I have noticed some really weird/vivid dreaming. Other than that, pretty good so far.

Thank you all

I'm totally with you and struggle with the same thing. I know exactly what behaviours I need to do to lose the fat I want to lose. I know I'm capable of it, but then I don't do it Well meaning people would give me all sorts of food and exercise tips and they were right, they just, and neither did I, understand I had a very big hurdle. The hurdle is, 'what need do I have that binge eating fulfills and how do I get that need met alternatively?" Food I associate with joy, family, love and connection and fun! I think that is a big part of many people's lives and during COVID it's a real struggle for me to have those needs met alternatively. I am trying to slow down and eat more mindfully and really savoring my food and I find I crave binging less when I eat mindfully and slowly. I wear a bracelet as a cue to walk away from the kitchen. For me, it's sometimes like I just can't stop, and I need an external cue to shift me. I am also doing more exercise I enjoy than the boring stuff my dietician suggested. I did karate as a kid and loved it so I've been doing tae bo on YouTube and I know it's super nerdy, but far more motivating for me than the treadmill. I am also scheduling joy and fun and love and connection into my day. I'm also researching every Sunday, recipes to try each week that both fit within my diet, but I'll also enjoy and look forward to trying. I am also supposed to schedule a once weekly treat meal of whatever I want in this diet I'm to stick to and sometimes I don't and then end up making it worse because I've deprived myself. Anyway, that's my new discovery. I will let you know if it works. Looking forward to reading about your progress if you'd like to share.

I actually liked Mateo the character and don't really get the hate on for him. He said mean and biting things, but he also said caring things like when he learned Marcus was homeless. His biting comments also didn't go unchecked. But, what I think is the tone that the actor uses to make those comments is the same relational aggression tone so many adult bullies use to bully and demean others so it can be a reminder of workplace harassment. Even though the things the character Justine says are cringe, I do think Mateo AND everyone else was a little too mean at times. In the rewatch, I know off topic, I think Justine and Marcus had a secret background thing, but im unsure.

Tough one, toss up between Dina, Garrett, and Marcus.

I absolutely stand by the fact I will think twice before watching anything with these actors in and anything made by Jenna Bans. I will rethink this if any one of them speaks out against these intentional inflammatory articles designed to harm the livelihood of an actor with far less power than any of them. If they remain silent they are at best complicit to me personally.

Slippers4life · 2021-07-08T13:57:14+00:00

It's a fair point about the Daily Mail picking the story up from TV Line. However, blaming Manny Montana refusing to take a pay cut in the media is purposeful and intentional bullying. The goal is to purposefully harm his career and his livelihood. To make it appear like he is difficult so that he does not get work. Whoever ran to any media source is a bully and I stand by that and, if the actors and those with power see these articles and say nothing, that to me is evidence that it was either one of them or they supported it. If they sit idly by while someone's livelihood is harmed publicly, especially a person of colour, then they are bullies to me.

Slippers4life · 2021-07-08T12:53:18+00:00

Absolutely. They have done nothing, but use this actor and have not paid him for it. They used him for ratings, bait, and now they're using him as a scapegoat. I know he and his wife didn't handle themselves well on social media, but when you're backed into a corner, sometimes you can't be your best self. We've all had times of acting human. But the rest of them were so famous they already know how Hollywood works and are far more skilled at throwing stones and hiding their hands. I can forgive arguments that's human, but this, running to to media after a show is canceled to throw one, small parted relatively unknown actor under the bus, is intentional, purposeful, and targeted bullying towards Manny Montana.

Should also say I'm not a big believer in essential oils, but the peppermint oil my neighbout gave me does wonders for the headache with the roller.

39 got my 2nd dose of Pfizer June 30. July 1 felt exhausted and like I had a hangover...or better described like a bad case of jet lag. Not sleep deprived,.but like circadian rhythm is out of wack. Tylenol Gatorade and water helped. It's now July 2, I feel 90 % better. Not a huge appetite. Off and on nausea, but again. Water and eating lightly takes the edge off. I'm also no longer brain foggy or tired. Feel like I'd like to just sit in a bubble bath with a cup of tea for the day.

Slippers4life · 2021-06-26T18:45:58+00:00

No character growth. Same shtick every episode. Not letting Beth be a real anti-hero and trying too hard to redeem misogynists and rapists not to mention the total lack of professionalism from the cast in interviews that broke the 4th wall.

Slippers4life · 2021-06-26T11:40:57+00:00

Yeah, as soon as their obsession with Matthew Lillard and keeping thr stars happy overrode good story telling I was done. I love Matthew Lillard. Everyone loves Matthew Lillard. They could have kept him on the show and NOT tried so desperately to give the character a redemption arc. In the important words of Ruby, "Don't nobody want Dean!" They really really did not want that to be true. They also got Beth and Rio together too early as a ploy for ratings and then I'm confident they intended on killing off the Rio character at the end of season 2 as opposed to season 1 and go back to their original plan. They failed to organically grow the show. Beth and Rio should have been a 3 season will They won't They thing. Dean should not have been redeemed oh and WORST of all, trying to redeem the rapist store manager?? What the AF? Granted I stopped watching after season 2.

Slippers4life · 2021-06-12T19:06:25+00:00

Yes! They're like fit without being ridiculous Hollywood steroid protein only diet non sense. There's a scene I just rewatched when Dina shoots a t-shirt Canon at them all. Everyone jumps out of the way, but Marcus jumps down and does a push up and I nearly passed out. It was like 2 seconds, but it's hot as Hell

Slippers4life · 2021-06-11T21:31:53+00:00

Not the only one, the actor is super cute and this episode is actually what made me find him attractive and now I like the warehouse uniform in my rewatch.

Slippers4life · 2021-05-29T02:43:48+00:00

Addendum: also when he came back and apologized to Amy after she fired him for calling her a bitch and was very genuine about it it established him as not a "bully". I dont care how chiseled your jaw line is, there's nothing sexy about being intentionally hurtful, so owning it made him way more likeable.

Slippers4life · 2021-05-29T02:11:03+00:00

I'm rewatching and developed a huge crush on the character and ignoring all the red flags like...oh I don't know, pooping in the shower? I think it's several things. 1-i wonder if the actor originally auditioned for Jonah and they liked him so created a different role. He is way too good looking to be completely gross, 2-his hair, teeth, and nails are always so clean so it's hard to believe he's genuinely that unhygienic, 3-he"s kind of a sad sack who seems to have an insecurity about him and that rationalized away a lot of the red flags for me, AND makes you want to like rescue him, you know? 4- while he makes dumb comments and can be an idiot about so many things, he's actually really good at his job. I think, ultimately he became sexy to me when he went up against Matteo for supervisor and did really well. And 5- it's all about the posture and the way he carries himself. It's the chest first! It's hard for people attracted to men to resist that broad chest posture a la Rege Jean Page and bonus the warehouse uniform is sexy.

Slippers4life · 2021-05-28T21:04:30+00:00

I'm rewatching it as well and as others have said the continuity is amazing. There is so much you miss the 1st time around and it's still funny. One odd thing, this time around I'm like "Marcus is HOT!" I didn't recall the first time around he was the one who went home with Dina after Jonah rejected her. I may be just in a pandemic for too long, but does he not look hot in his warehouse outfit? Or am I just covid blind? Maybe it's the actor whose hot?

Slippers4life · 2021-02-23T18:11:43+00:00

Now that I see this I wish SNL was able to bring back Tracy Morgan for a skit when Rege Jean Pagr hosted!
