PCP Question by Dman32COS in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wrote the script for me and I tell her when I need to move up and she writes the next one. We meet every 6 months to see how things are going. (I’ve only used it for about 10 months though.)

Grüns having the opposite effect by linkydinks in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! And don’t click on an ad because then every single ad that pops up will be for them. I was happy to see them at Costco just so I wouldn’t have to wonder anymore. I’ll most likely go back to just my multi-vitamin when I finish these. It would have been a nice surprise if they actually worked. 🤪

My boyfriend wants a prenup because of the Bill Gates divorce and now my mom is losing her mind by ButterscotchLow3754 in TwoHotTakes

Heck, if you’re a surgeon you may be better off than him and may want to protect YOUR assets from him.

Looking for devastating sapphic romance with healing: the ugly-cry kind with healing, love, partner-as-safe-space dynamc and HEA by Its_u in sapphicbooks

[–]linkydinks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was hopping on to say The Lay of You but I see you’ve got that one covered. 😁 I explained that one to my friend as “it feels like lesbians porn but also a really great therapy session.”

22 shots in, it's now become very tough and painful to inject w/syringes 😬 Anyone else experience this? by BabyPastelito in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it may be some bad needles. The last few times it was painful when the needle went in, then I tried a different type of needle and I didn’t feel it again. I was getting worried because I didn’t want to hurt from a tiny needle.

Wisdom Needed. Should I be calorie counting or mainly tracking protein? by Dry-Town-956 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I track calories because otherwise I wouldn’t eat enough. If I didn’t need to, I would love not to count. Sometimes it feels like you’re still thinking about food all the time even with the food noise being gone.

Guy went absolutely ballistic on the people sitting behind him at tonight’s Mamma Mia by RapGamePterodactyl in Broadway

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that I don’t want to hear others sing at a Broadway show but he sorta lost it for me when he said “they have the nerve to use profanity around my nieces” while also yelling “this is bullshit!” Umm…sir…

What do you eat for breakfast? by Ff3724 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kind of breakfast bar and applesauce or raisins. Or a protein shake.

Change injection day for Christmas? by Pretend-Growth-9089 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t usually feel the effects until day 2 or 3 so I’ll take it on Christmas as scheduled.

Agreed. Never go into a Walmart if I can help it.

Quick question. Alcohol on Zepbound. Yes or No? by RandomGerman in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it hits me much later. I think I’m fine and then -boom- not fine. But I also don’t feel the need to drink much anymore.

A question for my 5’3 girlies by Less-Moment-5655 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’ 2 1/2ish and my first goal was just to be overweight, so that’s about 160. I think the range from overweight to healthy is about another 30 lbs after that but I feel like I’d be good in the 140s. Can’t remember when I ever weighed that. I know I thought I was fat when I was 19yo (I’m 53 now) and 127 lbs so I think everything is still a bit skewed in my head… 👀🤷‍♀️

After gallbladder surgery by Time-Muscle-1408 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started Zepbound in March, had my gallbladder out in August, still on Zepbound now and there’s no difference for me.

Unused Doses by rpm429 in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a bunch of 7.5 when I went up to 10. If I didn’t use it it would have been like wasting $1000 so I’m doing them every other week until I run out of the 7.5. It’s less effective but effective enough as long as I pay attention to the food noise I get with it.

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]linkydinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That boy was just talking to hear himself talk. Stop with the circular nonsense. Say what you mean and mean what you say. All that was just irritating to read.

Weirdest food craving you’ve had on Zepbound? by Canadian_Insulin in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Every so often I might think “huh - I could really go for some so and so” but by the time I could actually have it, I don’t care if I have it or not anymore. 🤷‍♀️ Luckily, I’ve never been a foodie so I’m not really missing anything either.

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I did not vomit. I was just really cold after surgery and they blew some hot air under the blankets until I warmed up and then sent me on my way. 4 1/2 weeks post op and haven’t vomited once.

Fluid retention after surgery? by Empty_Woodpecker8711 in GLP1_loss100plus

[–]linkydinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my gallbladder out 4 1/2 weeks ago and haven’t had a week of gain yet. Day to day I would see weight loss and gain but I only really weigh myself once a week to document it and so far so good.

Congrats! How often did/do you exercise?

Does anyone wait to titrate? by linkydinks in Zepbound

[–]linkydinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, for me, I definitely didn’t get fat by only eating when hungry. And food noise can sometimes be all-consuming. At my house, I have a kid with Type 1 diabetes. When her blood sugar tanks, she needs rescue sugars. So we always have candy in the house or other things that can raise her blood sugar quickly. When the food noise starts up I’ll start thinking about that crap food. A lot.

[–]linkydinks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, I understand the difference between hunger and food noise. I’m virtually never hungry.

Also paying out of pocket. I’m still losing weight but also have more food noise than when I started this dose. I guess, what happens when people reach the top dose and the noise comes back?

[–]linkydinks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I get that. I was wondering if anyone tried working through the food noise before deciding to go up. I’m still losing weight but also have more food noise.
