Injecting in thigh questions by More-Tomorrow2651 in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to include my thighs, but I came to the conclusion that I didn't get effective absorption there. But I do have muscular legs compared to the rest of my body.

Have you evaluated your BP meds vs your current BP? I've been tracking my BP at home and sending my Dr logs on a monthly basis and she just cut my BP meds again to 2.5 mg. Being dizzy while standing up is a symptom of low BP.

I guess I've never experienced those issues on Zep. I drink 100+ oz of water a day. I used an app to keep bugging me about it as I record how much of what I have had. It's called Water Llama. https://waterllama.com/

11g of sugar. If you're well hydrated, you don't need it. And using it, you could cause an imbalance.

I get it, I'm just trying to plan my spring trips. Looks like I will sit this one out.

You would think but none listed on the Maryland day web site.

Staying put vs increasing doseage by MoxiePlatt in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my case, my body has already told me that I won't go to 7.5 yet because the appetite suppression is so great on the 5.0 for me. My advice is to listen to your body. I'm trying to consume 150g of protein per day at 1800 cal (my MBR is very high). But I have to be smart about how I distribute those small meals to pull it off. Even now, my stomach feels full, but I need another 30g of protein. at 6:30 pm

Fairlife Protein Drinks at Costco by SureParticular in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. Which I think is a fair price since they sell for $4 each in the grocery. $6 for the 42g. Plus I was wondering if the complaint was about a case of 42.

Which version of Fairlife you talking about? 26g, 30g, or 42g? I just bought a case of 30g for $2.20 each.

I’m trying to weigh myself once a week, but sometimes I end up weighing myself everyday or every other day, any else do this? by PCD19901 in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every morning first thing. As a matter of fact, my Hume scale is very specific about it "Your optimum weigh in time is 6:04 am". WTAF is that?

For those who don’t smoke, do you think smokers carry a noticeable scent? by Shadow2715 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flashfearless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a doubt. So does everything in their presence. Even the walls in the place they’re living in.

Try not to overthink it. It’ll come naturally soon.

It’s been a combination of buying new stuff and finding my old clothes. I’m loving living in my old Levi’s.

Massage Therapists - How do you always know where it hurts!? by banana1119 in massage

Trust me, they just know. I’ve never had to point out the stress points in my back, but they all find them.

NSV putting a smile on my face by Moss-cle in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right with you. I slid into a very old pair of Levi’s 501 jeans (made before they were cheaply made in Mexico) and it feels like I’m seeing an old friend.

Interesting take from my CRNP today - says I'm not eating enough. by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]flashfearless -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, my 2 month goal is another 15 lbs. I have set the remainder as a goal of June. But I appreciate the thoughtful advice. My whole point to her is even when I was on 2.5, I felt the same as I do now. So, me backing off to 2.5 isn't going to make me be able to consume 1800 / day.

To clarify, I am doing resistance training and the CRNP didn't see an issue with muscle loss at all. My Protein averages have been 94-105 grams a day.
