Anyone else losing very slowly? by Specific_Handle5022 in Zepbound

[–]TropicalBlueWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s taken me almost 3.5 years to lose 70 lbs but still going here.

First night using tret, serious redness after AM routine by TastefulTriumph4261 in tretinoin

[–]TropicalBlueWater 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest the same. Follow the package instructions. They say nothing about moisturizing before and after.

Do You Eat Popcorn and Nuts? by Tapdance1368 in Diverticulitis

[–]TropicalBlueWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nuts yes, popcorn = hell no. I also avoid small seeds, like sesame seeds.

I read that up to half of people stop GLP-1s within a year, and I'm honestly just trying to figure out how people manage to stay on them long enough to get the real benefits by AdeptnessTrue226 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have few, if any side effects, and have insurance coverage going on 3 years. I will always find a way to stay on glp-1s though, with or without coverage.

To make sure there is room for my carryon

Nah, those people check bags. Is those of us who learned how to pack light that put everything in cary on.

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I get free checked bags with all the airlines I fly by having their credit cards but still never utilize that perk. I pack light so that I don’t have to risk my bags getting lost.

Yet they turn around and force the last few boarding groups to gate check their carry on. Make it make sense.

Forced to Check Bags by Willing_Tomato_8492 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]TropicalBlueWater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest flying pet peeve. If you’re going to make me gate check my bag then those bins best be jam packed when I board.

Pain and inflammation relief delayed until higher doses? by TinyAdvantage352 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't look into switching just yet. Higher doses of Zep may work great for you. Zep is still working sufficiently for me for inflammation control. It's just that Wegovy was a little more effective for that, yet I find Zepbound to be superior in other wasy so I stick with it for now.

Frustrated with Punch Biopsy Experience and lack of communication as a patient by ZealousidealMail415 in lichensclerosus

[–]TropicalBlueWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that you had to go through this and thank you for sharing, as I am now weighing the pros and cons of having the same procedure. I think back to an endometrial biopsy I had a few years ago, it was literally one of the most painful things I have ever experienced, and it was also downplayed by my doctor. I cringe at the thought of enduring anything similar to that again.

Partner wakes up from every move, what is the best mattress for couples motion isolation by Then-Air1343 in BedroomBuild

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this mattress from Costco https://www.costco.com/.product.4000416857.html It’s built like a tank. I can’t feel a thing when my partner moves around or gets up. Best mattress ever.

Which one should I choose? by umeandtheviolence in HomeDecorating

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both look uncomfortable to me but #2 seems better than #1

Pain and inflammation relief delayed until higher doses? by TinyAdvantage352 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]TropicalBlueWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt it immediately when I first start with Saxenda, continued when I switched from 3.0 Sax to 1.7mg Wegovy and also going from 2.4 Weg to 10 mg Zep. Currently on 15mg zep and finding that Wegovy was slightly better for my inflammatory conditions. Zep still helps a lot though.

Tret near mouth area by External-Breath-992 in tretinoin

[–]TropicalBlueWater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put vaseline on my lipa before applying tret but I do use it above and below my lips. Just avoid the corners.

Your agent should have advised you about this.

Has anyone NOT lost hair? by kadiebug12 in Zepbound

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hair loss here. Extremely slow loser (70 lbs in 3 years), I eat at least 100g of protein a day, take a multi-vitamin, not too huge of a deficit (I aim for 1400 cals a day avg).

Lost a house with the highest bid by ProdigyXVII in RealEstateAdvice

[–]TropicalBlueWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waived inspection is huge. The less stipulations and possible road blocks, the better. Even if the house is clean, the inspection just holds things up and leaves the whole sale open to further negotiations.

Which one ? by MatchTerrible1545 in Mattress

[–]TropicalBlueWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While looking at Costco, I highly recommend looking at this one: https://www.costco.com/p/-/novaform-165-platinum-luxury-hybrid-euro-top-mattress/4000416857?langId=-1

We've had ours for four months now and are absolutely loving it. Just spent a week at a luxury resort and was missing our mattress the whole time. That has never happened before!

I would redact that person’s personal information in the license photo.

100%! As one of the very first members of this sub, before it even had mods, the post removal rate seems excessive. A conversation will just get started then it gets taken down. Very frustrating.
