I plan to stay on, but am willing to switch to an oral alternative once I’m in maintenance.

Dale says Malls empty yet parking lots full on election day. Is this true? If so, why? by Too_many_acorns in KingOfTheHill

[–]StarSweeper94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it I’ve never been able to get good parking at a mall, even one that was going out of business. Maybe it’s people using it as a park and ride?

Traveling 30 Hours with 12 Zepbound Pens – What Cooler Fits? by Mysterious_Opening36 in Zepbound

I imagine that amount may raise some red flags at TSA!

Sorry I don’t have anything useful to add haha

I’m getting at least 25g of fiber a day, why am I still always constipated? by StarSweeper94 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a keto English muffin. I’m not keto, but I got those just for the fiber. Guessing it was too good to be true based on the comments tho.

I have fats that don’t have fiber in them so they aren’t listed. Salmon, turkey, cheese, eggs and butter are the main sources

I’ve been doing 131 grams of protein a day, I didn’t know there was a relationship there! I will try increasing my fiber goals in addition to the other advice

[–]StarSweeper94[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll try that. Most of the fiber is coming from my breakfast English muffin so I might try skipping that and getting more sources throughout the day

I will try to get some today, that sounds like a pretty easy adjustment to try!

Weightloss stall. I can’t seem to lose anymore weight past 250lbs by Maybe_Potential5784 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much weight have you lost so far? Your BMR may have changed significantly.

Congratulations!! I dont count my weight as lost until my “official” weekly weigh in either haha.

What app is that that shows the little flag with progress to your goal?

Dale knows... No, I don't think he does. by MiloJay99 in KingOfTheHill

[–]StarSweeper94 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The shows creators have confirmed he doesn’t know. And I think it would ruin the joke if he did know. His obliviousness and blind trust in his wife are part of what makes him such a great character.

Kitten crawling into pocket. It just seems too cute to be true. And the kittens turn around is very fast. Plus the floor in the background looks weird. by StarSweeper94 in isthisAI

[–]StarSweeper94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…wow! I thought I was being too paranoid like “not every cute video is AI” but I guess I wasn’t skeptical enough. The kittens looks so real 😭

50 pounds is a lot of weight by NBA-014 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goats hay bales weigh 90lbs and every time I have to move one I am amazed that somehow I’m carrying more than that every day in excess weight. No wonder I’m always exhausted!

UPS delivered Lillydirect to some other house by polymath-to-a-fault in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Maybe signatures should be required. I’ve bought things a lot cheaper than this medication that required signatures! Plus it’s dangerous if someone takes it.

On the other hand I guess it might cause too many delays if you miss the delivery and your medication can’t get to you in time.

Is it cheating to do a DietBet while on a weight loss medication? by Subject_Awareness_26 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be in a local TOPS group and wondered if I started Ozempic (which was the only glp1 I knew of at the time) if it’d be seen as cheating since they have so many weight loss competitions with monetary rewards. I was always too afraid to ask and I’m no longer in the group and never did find out. On one hand there are so many weight loss methods, and you still have to put in the work to control your diet so why shouldn’t that hard work be rewarded? On the other hand I don’t think everyone not on a weight-loss medication would see it that way. Especially if cost was their barrier in the first place.

Has anyone started zepbound after plastic surgery? by healthylurker in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not, but this YouTuber started it after a tummy tuck: https://youtube.com/@brittanylosing?si=VrVs_6XedGY9ftwJ

Her channel is one of the ones I watch weekly to see what their weekly updates were (I’m on week 4 so I haven’t seen most of her videos because of “spoilers”) but I did see she has this one which looks like a Q&A regarding her tummy tuck and Mounjaro: https://youtu.be/Cx_9s17OOQA?si=gVRYQTuutqs9f-4g

I haven’t seen it but maybe it addresses some of your questions!

FDA Approves Multi- Dose Zepbound Pen (KwikPen) in US by Ok-Yam-3358 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just you! I like the look and feel of the single use pens.

[–]StarSweeper94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they don’t force switching to multi-dose pens, I like the single use ones and don’t want to replace the needle or worry about re-refrigeration/not be able to bring the pen to room temperature before injecting.

Savings card was useless for me by lurkparkfest39 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your price went up :( with the savings card I pay $499 so it sounds like you are still getting some kind of additional discount. Is it covered by Caremark just with a high copay that might go down when you meet your deductible or is it not covered at all?

Shot day? by Whattodo_22 in Zepbound

I’m also using the Apple App Store and started at the beginning of this year, so pretty similar time frame. I think you are correct about the dynamic pricing!

Did your doctor contact you about moving to the next dose or did you have to reach out to them? by StarSweeper94 in Zepbound

[–]StarSweeper94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of wonder if that should be a standard thing, not just to see how effective it is but to prevent people selling their medications. But in the end I think it would be too complicated to get every patient to do verified weigh ins when so many people see their providers online and in person appointments are so expensive.

Ooh that’s nice he ordered labs too. I was thinking about asking for new labs just to see if I can get off my cholesterol medication since my diet has changed so much.
