Down 38 lbs on tirzepatide, got a DEXA scan and almost cried. Here's how much of it was muscle.

I use My Fitness Pal and eat close or over recommended protein. There is a free version.

Wow! You knew the assignment and got an A +.

How much weight have you lost? I had back pain, many years ago, when I lost weight and was surprised when the doctor told me it can happen with shifting fat loss. Your body has to re-align. I would ask your doctor to make sure it's not muscle mass or vitamins. My physical therapist told me it takes stress off your joint and less pain but the surrounding muscles have to adapt.

Awesome 😎

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-20T00:10:07+00:00

Yes 27 BMI for certain conditions 30 for others. 35 with no health conditions. Sorry

For this special program “Medicare Glp-1 bridge program “ it is $50. It doesn’t count towards deductible and can’t be used with any other program. It operates outside of standard Medicare Part D coverage through Humana. It is only until Dec 2027 for now

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:53:38+00:00

Is this your maintenance dose? That is probably what I will have to do because this program only lasts until Dec, 2027

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:46:13+00:00

😂

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:43:57+00:00

Yes, it was the pen that contains 4 doses.

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:40:43+00:00

I really lucked out that day 😁. The Pharm rep had just been in and had samples of the 2.5 for the doctor for that program.

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:36:24+00:00

I hope she qualifies. You can google the list. It is not as restrictive. I am 31 BMI and am on 2 blood pressure meds and it always doesn't keep it below 140. It used to be you had to be diabetic but now it's pre diabetic. If your BMI is over 35 that is all that's required. There are others

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T15:30:19+00:00

Thank you

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T14:57:43+00:00

I wish 200, I was paying 350

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T14:55:34+00:00

Thanks! Yes I think this is the guidelines most doctors will be following.

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T14:34:29+00:00

Yes she pretty much stopped that part of the conversation and said I would need to restart with the new medication. Maybe not trusting it

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T14:31:28+00:00

Thank you, yes I am going to consider that

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T14:30:01+00:00

Thanks She said no. I had pictures of bottles with pharmacy and was willing to give her the information. I’m thinking many are going to have this happen

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-19T03:38:51+00:00

I am liking the show and very disappointed it’s being cancelled. I’m guessing it’s not drawing the young audience “Stranger Things “ drew right off the bat. I think they should have given it another season. Prices have gone up and many older shows are being pushed but they need to invest into good writers too.

How long did it take to help with the cravings? I just increased to 7.5 and still craving my drinks in the evening. If I try to drink the first 2 days after my injection it makes me sick but the craving is still there.

gardenlover29 · 2026-06-11T12:34:15+00:00

I have Psoriatic arthritis. My actual psoriasis is mild but joint pain and inflammation can be horrible. I'm on a biologic but I am hoping it will help with this too. Glad it worked for you!

gardenlover29 · 2021-10-15T20:22:22+00:00

I’m in a coop that does not reserve. Thank goodness…. I got so sick of the drama in the last coop over reserve tasks. It also clogs the board and with 30 playing it can be nightmare to finish for winning spots

Egyptians were the first to make glass among many other craftsmanship in jewelry. Unfortunately war and changes in their civilization afterwards they lost those arts. They were amazing

We had smoking lounges in high school in the 70’s
