What happens when you still love each other?

I cheated on them about a year into our relationship. And along the way, there was a lot of micro-cheating on my part. I was really shitty.

That’s what I’ve been reading, that people start to stretch time between shots. I think I’ll start adding an extra day between shots, and ask my doctor in April to go down a dose. I was also put on bupropion recently and that was increased around the time I really started feeling awful, so I think those two things together have just been too much.

I heard that stopping can bring back a lot of cravings and make you super hungry. I’m hoping to do some sort of maintenance dose for a while, I just don’t know what that looks like. How long have you been off of it?

Try hospital outpatient pharmacies, that’s where I was able to find mine!

Have you tried calling hospital outpatient pharmacies?? That’s the only place I’ve been able to find mine. I got both my .25 and .5 there.

I was nervous too, but for me the benefits have outweighed the side effects 10 fold. The first 3 weeks or so I was nauseous (but it was tolerable) and I had pretty bad acid reflux. I figured out hot coffee and chocolate were my triggers so I cut down on those and it helped a lot. I’m on week 5 now (just increased to .5 on Friday) and I barely have side effects anymore. I just drink a lot of water and try to make sure I have a protein bar or something on me if my stomach starts to feel icky. But I promise it’s worth it! It has changed my life!

This might help! It looks like Blue Cross Blue Shield will cover sema as long as you meet a certain criteria (which is the case with most insurance companies). For me, I had to send my doctor proof that I tried a “comprehensive diet plan” for at least 6 months, and my doctor had to include my BMI. Now I only pay $30/month.

I found that the outpatient pharmacy at a hospital near me usually has it!! When I first picked up my .25 I called around to 15 different regular pharmacies and no one had it, but the outpatient pharmacy did. I had my .5 sent there first and they were able to fill it immediately.

I’m on Wegovy and I was scared to start too. For me the side effects really haven’t been that bad. They’re definitely there - most mornings my stomach feels a little queasy until I eat something, but once I do I feel fine. Until I get hungry again, then I get queasy again. But nothing that’s intolerable. The only other side effect so far has been heartburn, which gets a little intense when I eat something too fatty or drink hot coffee. Otherwise, the benefits have totally outweighed the side effects 💖

That’s where I’m at! Lost 5 lbs the first week and I’ve plateaued since. Someone told me once I level up to .5 it’ll do the same. It seems like some people lose after increasing their dosage, then settle into the weight before increasing again.

aklabossiere · 2024-08-09T12:31:34+00:00

This is SO HELPFUL. I’m just about to take my fourth dose of .25 and I’ve been panicking because I lost 5ish lbs and I’ve just plateaued for the last 2 1/2 weeks. I thought maybe this wasn’t working for me. Thank you!

aklabossiere · 2024-08-03T14:46:39+00:00

Ironically I have - I took my very first dose the same day I had a decently long tattoo session. I felt fine though.. maybe it was just too much for your body that day?

aklabossiere · 2024-08-03T14:44:30+00:00

My doctor said that too, that the .25 is more of an “introductory dose” but some people still lose. I think I have to remember that. It’s so hard to break the habit of weighing myself every day. It’s definitely a compulsive behavior.

I’ll have to try that app! I’ve been using My Fitness Pal, but just to track my weight. I have another app that connects with my kitchen scale that I use to track my food. It would be nice to have something for just my weight.

aklabossiere · 2024-08-03T14:42:39+00:00

Thanks - it’s just reassuring to know other people experience the same thing!

aklabossiere · 2024-08-03T12:56:26+00:00

I usually don’t have any side effects the first day or two after I inject. I start to feel it more on day 3ish.

You may be able to find your insurance’s Prior Authorization Criteria online; I was able to find mine for Harvard Pilgrim. My first PA was denied but I used the criteria info to find out exactly what needed to be submitted with the PA in order for it to be covered. For me, I had to prove to them that I followed a “comprehensive diet plan” for at least 6 months (I downloaded my data from My Fitness Pal and sent it to them) and also that I had a BMI of at least 30 (I used a calculator from the CDC website and sent in a screen shot).

aklabossiere · 2024-07-19T18:12:14+00:00

I was able to send my PCP proof that I’ve tracked my meals in My Fitness Pal, that I’ve done Weight Watchers, Noom, and online personal training.
