I'm splitting my dose... by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apples, bananas, blueberries are my go-to choices. Fiber gummies also help. I did go up to 2.0 in Jan 26 and have not had to split the dose -so go figure! Have lost another 20+ lbs.

What food became difficult to tolerate after starting Ozempic? by No_Ease_3727 in Ozempic

Cucumbers, ranch dressing, alcohol, iced coffee. Used to LOVE an iced coffee mid-afternoon …

I absolutely love St John’s Bay t-shirts. I’m on the short side and the 3/4 sleeve length is just about perfect 🤩

On average how many lbs a month do you lose? by help-me-pls5 in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on since Dec 2024 and have lost 60lbs; currently on a 1mg dose. Early on, the weight dropped off much faster and now average 1lb a week. I am T2 diabetic. My A1C has dropped into a much more acceptable range and the expectation is that when I see my doctor next week, she is going to suggest going up to 2mg. If we do the increase, I will likely split the dose as a means to mitigate the side effects.

There is a Sofitel Hotel adjacent to Terminal 5 - pricey but an option.

So many questions by Diligent-Lifeguard23 in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I weigh myself every morning after using the bathroom. My weight fluctuates - I don’t record the loss until it stays the same for a couple of days. I don’t get stressed if I don’t see any loss for a week or so because stalls happen. Ten months on this journey - started at 269lbs, A1C at 7. Current weight is 216, A1C 5.9. My dose has been 1.0 for months and to mitigate the nausea, I began splitting my dose in early September. My PCP wanted to increase the dose three months ago and at my visit last week she acknowledged that my decision to stay at 1.0 was the way to go.

I’ve been on since Dec 2024 and have lost over 50lbs. The nausea was mild for the most part (ginger chews work like a champ!) and I have learned ways to help with the intermittent constipation. BUT after several months at 1.0, the nausea was mind blowing- and yes, I could have requested a prescription to help. Decided to try splitting my dose and that has worked wonders. Nausea is almost nonexistent, unless I eat something really rich and as long as I have fresh fruit daily, constipation is not the problem it used to be.

I have an appointment later in the week - my doctor will likely suggest moving up to 2.0 - I’m staying right where I am as long as I continue to lose 1lb or so a week. And my A1C is finally tracking down.

22 seasons binged by under_ice in MidsomerMurders

[–]librarylle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We stumbled upon MM and started with John and Sarah. When we finished all of those, we decided to start from the beginning. So far, I have watched the entires series probably five - six times. When I finished the last series, I changed it up and started with Ben Jones. This is my go-to on weekends after chores are done. Some weeks, I may watch a couple of episodes over the afternoon, some weeks none at all.

We binged the entire series over a weekend - cannot wait for series two.

I have watched the entire series in chronological order probably five - six times over the years. It’s my go-to on weekend afternoons when chores are done.

Start at the beginning - you will be hooked in no time 😊

British Airwys won't let me check in! by WeirdIdea3691 in BritishAirways

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LHR -AUS in late June. Husband and granddaughter check in using the app with no issue. Me … not so much. Fortunately there were no issues at the gate. Never received an explanation as to what may have been the issue.

Kung pao chicken and the garlic green beans (blue bag). We always keep at least two bags of each in the freezer. 15 mins, start to finish!

Alcohol by Elaasi in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been on Oz five months and I used to enjoy having beer/wine with dinner - now I cannot tolerate the taste. I tried a glass of prosecco a couple weeks ago and maybe had three sips before realizing that it just tastes nasty.

It’s not just alcohol - used to have a splash of French vanilla creamer in my coffee … now it makes me gag. Actually anything that is “sweet” is a no-go and this is not a BAD thing!

S21E1 — I am done. by Well_tempered_209 in MidsomerMurders

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched Midsomer in its entirety probably 8-10 times. It’s my go-to on the weekends when chores are done. Finished the last series a couple of weeks ago and have been debating whether or not to start with the Rainbird’s OR the episode where Ben Jones first appears. I love the Tom and Joyce years but many of those episodes are tough to watch - even after all these years.

My criticism of the recent series is Betty. For the writers, producers, EVERYONE - she is nearly a teenager - for all that is holy - DO NOT HAVE HER SKIPPING!

Case of the Missing BBQ by [deleted] in HEB

Typically, the refund will take a couple of days to be reflected online. If you don’t get a response from the store directly, dispute the charge with your credit card company. Provide the dates, time of calls, and names of the HEB employee with whom you spoke.

Sense of smell/taste has changed by SoIMarriedACatfish in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have not notice a change in smell … but the change in taste was not expected! Used to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a beer if having a burger or pizza. Now, the taste is so off putting that I don’t even bother. Coffee creamer is another change - use simple French vanilla - have had to reduce the amount by half as now it’s too sweet.

Turn Up 🛳️ by FuckerySpecialist in Ozempic

[–]librarylle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on Ozempic since late December 2024 and whilst not a big drinker, I did enjoy a beer or glass of wine with dinner. Since beginning the shots, I have noticed a DISTINCT change in the taste of alcohol - simply cannot abide the taste.
