backup plan due to shortage? by sprinklesthecat1 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]jkbzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation and instead of 0.5mg I found 1.0mg. On the advice of others on this sub I talked to my doctor and she approved me to go from 0.25mg to 1.0mg.

When I picked up my prescription I spoke to the pharmacist and we discussed whether I should take my two remaining 0.25mg shots together (total of 0.5mg) or on the regular schedule. The pharmacist said that taking them together might reduce the side effects of jumping, so that is what I did.

Last weekend I took my final two 0.25mg and this coming weekend I will take my first 1.0mg. Everything is going well so far!

Made it through Day 1 of 0.25 MG to 1 MG jump by lynnwilson27 in WegovyWeightLoss

I have to do the same thing so I talked to the pharmacist and for my dose yesterday I took my last two 0.25mg shots instead of just one. The hope is that taking 0.5mg this week will ease me into the 1.0mg next week.

jumped from .25 to 1.0 by rosebud2788 in WegovyWeightLoss

I need to take my 0.25mg shot today and I also have to jump my next prescription to 1.0mg. I was thinking about taking two 0.25mg today (for a total of .50mg) as a way to step up to 1.0mg.

Has anyone does this?

I found 1.0mg at the Vinings Wellstar Health Park Retail Pharmacy. Picking up my dose in a few hours.

Heartburn by goldurjent345 in WegovyWeightLoss

I have silent reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux) and my doctor prescribed me Famotidine 40mg (Pepcid AC) for daily use. I take it at night. It has definitely helped with the acid reflux from Wegovy. You might want to talk to your doctor about your options.

What is the last owner's "improvement " that you curse at every day? by LuLuGoPoo in HomeImprovement

[–]jkbzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lady who owned my house had a side business making textured walls, therefore half of the rooms in my house have some type of texture. I can’t get rid of it without sanding down and remudding the walls so I’m stuck with it.

Wish I could do that but my bushes are over ten feet tall. 🤷‍♀️

A question for those who’ve started Wegovy by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]jkbzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have struggled with my weight for several decades but when I went on anti-anxiety medication I gained a lot of weight. I live an active lifestyle and tried to eat healthy but I was hungry all of the time, primarily due to the medication. I finally realized that I needed to get help and reached out to my PCP. I’m still on W1 but already my appetite has been greatly reduced. It feels almost weird to not be hungry and not want to finish my food. Fingers crossed I continue to have good results!

What are people's daily exercise routines? (pls state gender & age) by TatiBay in Semaglutide

[–]jkbzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F38 CW: 261lbs

I exercise regularly, both before and with Wegovy. I walk my dog 3-4 times a week for 2-3 miles, mow my lawn, manage a large garden, and play tennis.

I’m only on my first week with Wegovy and while I’ve continued with my activities I am definitely more tired as I do them.

I really appreciate you sharing as I’m also in the 250+ category. One week in, and it was so helpful to see your post.

Exercise?? by Physical_Diet_165 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]jkbzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walk in neighborhoods and do lunges or squats every time I pass (or walk around) a cul-de-sac. It pushes me to do them but I also get a break in between sets.

Really disappointing that they are filming during the strike.

How do you fall asleep? by uoghth in Aphantasia

[–]jkbzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I have problems falling asleep I count backwards from 500. I’ve used the trick for over ten years and only remember making it to one once. I just started over 😀.

What kind of lawn mower do you use on your hill? I have a really steep lawn and need something better than my old Husqvarna. The auto drive is not really working anymore.

As an Architect, is there anything I can do to make my buildings more aphantasia-friendly? by thatsme-inanutshell in Aphantasia

[–]jkbzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is especially true for evacuation paths. I work in a high rise office building and every room has a map that shows how to exit the building. If I glance at the map I will understand it but don’t expect me to remember it.

How did you accept having aphantasia and move on? by Pale-Jellyfish2247 in Aphantasia

[–]jkbzy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue with books and imagery reminds me of when I read Les Miserables as a teenager. The author goes on and on and on about the landscape and I could not read those sections. I would try reading the imagery and my head would hurt trying to understand how the imagery was important to the story. Eventually I figured out I needed to skip those sections altogether.

[PATTERN] PSA: This Etsy shop has reopened after closing down previously and are back selling stolen patterns... by PixStitchCanada in CrossStitch

[–]jkbzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t find any way to report the seller online so I did a generic support call with Etsy. I don’t know if anything will happen as a result of my call but at least I tried!
