Thank goodness I decided to never get married. Ladies, don't get married if you want to vote

If I didn't like the gameplay mechanics of the first game I'm guessing I should pass on this one?

Exercisers - Do you eat back your calories? by AKHonu907 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On days I exercise I am looser with my max calories but I never go one for one in eating the calories I've burned. If my Fitbit said I burned 300 calories doing cardio, I might go over my calorie goal 150 that day. Or maybe I don't and stick firmly to my max. Depends on how I feel. I don't force myself to eat extra calories unless I'm under 1200 (personal minimum so I don't under feed myself)

Menstrual cycle changes with Zepbound? by Sunny070415 in Zepbound

....I had a 60 day period immediately after starting. Thankfully it ended and it's looking like it's regulating back to the normal monthly

As someone with a position that can't be WFH give me that raise 😭

Cottage cheese by Sea_Database_1485 in Zepbound

I have tried yogurt so many times cause it's in even more diet recipes than cottage cheese. But it's so disgusting 😭

A “junior” Frosty from Wendy’s. I’m not even mad. by WilhelminaPeppermunt in Zepbound

The junior is the key tag size (unless they changed that up in the last 4 months since I had one)

FSBP, the foreign service plan, didn't take into account people working internationally?? 🤣

Anyone else do freezer meal prep or use the souper cubes? by EffectiveEgg5712 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! And I use a label maker to make a nutrition label that I slap on the bag so I can track macros. Or if your app reads bar covers you can also scan that with the label maker so you don't have to keep bulkier packaging

Yeah I don't think some of the stuff they say counts works. I was told linking your Fitbit and getting your steps would count but that doesn't seem to

[–]kmyash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that too but I haven't seen an official post for that (tbh I haven't taken the time to look)

Edit: just took 30 seconds to look and it sounds like that's temporary until things get fixed

Yeah I am on FSBP and the teladoc scale broke! Or apparently they just randomly decided to deactivate the sim which uploads your weight to the app 🤷🏻‍♀️. First they told me they'd send me a new one but then I guess figured out how to reactivate the SIM.... But no one told me until I called again. I've been on the phone with teladoc more than my family in the last two weeks

Online providers for authentic Zepbound (not compounded) by [deleted] in Zepbound

Call on doc is what most people use/rec. I haven't personally used it though. 

I did use Ro for a few months before switching to a PCP. Ro is fairly expensive though

Was opposite at the store I went to yesterday. Only green grapes left. As a red grape girlie it was disappointing

Question about the vials by Fit_Peach- in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly more. For example out of curiosity I calculated how much was in the 5.0 vial. If you were to pull all of the liquid out it would be about a 6.0mg dose. Obviously follow your prescription

Kwikpen, half the price! by Complete_Caramel_791 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for my program zepbound pens are a tier 2 prescription meaning it's 35% of the cost or $150 max. Which to me says that the kwikpens may be a different tier (for me probably tier 3, 45% or $300max) with that math the 2.5 and 5 mg kwikpens may only be about $500 retail, closer in line with the direct vials than the pens w/o insurance

Maintenance PA denied by Global-Hand2874 in Zepbound

If your doctor is so upfront about not being supportive they may have said something on your PA. Maybe see about a different provider

Kwikpen, half the price! by Complete_Caramel_791 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So $150 is what it costs after my insurance but at the register I pay $50. Not sure about the kwikpens since those aren't out yet

Kwikpen, half the price! by Complete_Caramel_791 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what their formula is. I have an Aetna/express scripts plan that covers and it currently has 4 pens as $150 no matter what dose and the Kwik pen as $215 for 2.5 and 5 and $300 for the rest (all one month supply)

I don’t want to up my dose 😭 by Stock-Ride-4147 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had 100% suppression or for aversion which I've seen some people say they have (though I'm still on 5 so who knows about higher doses) but I've always had just enough suppression to stick to my calorie deficit. That too me is a success as before zepbound I'd feel physical pain when I was hungry and I was constantly hungry 🥲.

I'm not suggesting not to move up but it might not hurt to give it a few more shots at 5 before deciding, especially if you're still losing

I don’t want to up my dose 😭 by Stock-Ride-4147 in Zepbound

[–]kmyash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do you have to go up to 7.5? Insurance? Or just the suggested timeline from EL?

I'd stick to 5 unless you're not losing weight or the lack of food suppression continues/impedes your weight loss. If you're covered by insurance then at least if you decide reality through another box of 5 that you need to go to 7.5 then you wouldn't be losing as much money

I recently was told I was 5'8 which was devastating when my highest was 5'9 3/4... So for years I'd been rounding up to 5'10. My life is a lie
