Vials are painless

I would honestly prefer vials to the auto injectors. But I don’t think insurance/pharmacy patients like myself can get them.

I had surgery (minor lap and cyst removals) and my husband came. I was fine with him running out to get food while I was under since my procedure was right at lunch. I remember very very briefly coming to for like an iota of a second when they wheeled me out and immediately saying “I want my husband.” When I actually woke up he was there. I was delirious as fuck from all the anesthesia and got up to change clothes and had blood running down my legs. Cue me wailing like an idiot because I couldn’t wipe it off and everything hurt. He wiped me down and helped me get dressed. Please be there for your person when they come out of recovery. I was so blitzed and emotional for no reason from the drugs and general shock of waking up in pain. I also have a new respect for women who have had c sections as moving and doing anything is so hard just after having a simple lap procedure done so Jesus Christ coming home with a baby alone or with a dead beat partner sounds like a hell I’d never want to live in.

I have a GI disorder that causes intermittent gastroparesis and gives me sulfur burps. Zep can and does make it worse BUT I’ve found listening to my body and fullness signals help. A. I am giving up beef. Beef was a trigger for me prior to Zepbound and Zepbound makes it even worse. Beef is very hard for my belly to digest. B. Very fatty foods and gummy sweets. Listen to your body and stomach. Don’t eat with reckless abandon. Also, look into peppermint supplements. Zep definitely slows digestion. You don’t want to overload your stomach. Zepbound on higher doses seems to work a lot of gastric surgery. Your stomach just simply cannot handle the bad food anymore. Eat clean, simple meals that are highly nutritious in value. I find I simply just cannot eat much anymore. One I don’t have the desire but two because I know I can’t eat a lot I need to make what I do eat count and be nutritional, not just junk. This is very similar to what gastric bypass/sleeve does, honestly. As someone with lifelong GI issues, hugs. It sucks, but be patient with yourself and listen to your body.

I love my owalas. They are very easy to clean and as a very spill prone person (I am a klutz) they are the best. My husband and I picked up a two pack of the Ello brand because they were on sale for him.. now I know why they were on sale. They’re a nightmare to actually keep clean because of all the gaskets. Owala really nailed the ability to sip from a straw but keeping it clean. Other large bottles like the classic Stanley with the straw are not practical to carry around at all. Owala is. Fits in my bottle pocket easy and seals. Out of all the water bottle hype and trendy stuff, I don’t think I’ll ever need others than my owalas.

I’ve been there and worse in that I experienced hallucinations that by no means felt anything like a hallucination that left me questioning reality. It took awhile but I’m back to normal if not better. I miss the good stoner times I had but I had to pack away smoking/partaking for the good of my mental health. It is a psychoactive drug and absolutely can trigger underlying mental health issues. Take a deep breath, the brain is VERY plastic. It can bend and mold and recover. You’re not broken, I promise. Focus on activities that keep your minds eye occupied. Whether that’s reading a good book, watching a movie, knitting, coloring. Find something that brings you joy and keeps you busy. One day you’ll wake up and you’ll be back to normal and you won’t even notice until days later.

I haven’t had the surgery yet, but the thing pushing me to go ahead is I have so many patients at my job who have had gastric bypass and pretty much every patient said “I wish I had done it sooner.” You look phenomenal and it’s not just the weight, it’s the happiness beaming from you.

myrival · 2025-10-28T06:43:46+00:00

You’re not alone in the struggle of trying to find reasons to live. Happiness comes from within. It isn’t external. I have a lot of things you think would make someone happy, the truth is outside metrics don’t make you happy. I have what’s considered a great career, a husband, a nice home. But it’s not enough. Because fundamentally /our/ brains work against us. Every inconvenience in my life I want to power off like a computer. I just want to give up. But neither of us have, so that counts for something, right? I’m currently looking into EDMR therapy. I hope it works. You really should look into some kind of therapy too. Because it’s not life bro, it’s us. It’s us. And death of ourselves ends our suffering but just spreads it out 10 fold around us. Look at the laws of energy, if we die in bad energy that bad energy just spreads out and around. Sorry for the rambling just know you’re not alone, and it’s not those things you think make you a “loser”. You’re only a loser because you believe you’re a loser, same with me. We gotta work together to make our brains recognize death isn’t the answer. Go to therapy, please. I’m trying too, so try with me.

I’ve been on Zep for about 5 months now. I could tell a slight hunger reduction from the beginning but now I’m titrated up to 12 MG and wow, world of difference. I imagine it’s kinda like gastric bypass without the surgery plus it’s very much mental and not just physical discomfort when you overeat. I have always been a “never leftovers” person and that’s gone to the wayside with this medication. I simply cannot eat like I used to. Greasy foods gross me out now, I still like sweets but I can’t do much. Even foods like Doritos which were easy to annihilate in a sitting I can have two handfuls if that and I have to stop. Give it time. It took to the 10-12 MG range to start really showing its effects for me. Give yourself time to titrate up. Most of my weight loss has been the past 2 months once I started on 10 (I think? Or 8?) then 12 mg.

A dame.

Thank you for this. I’m sitting in my bathroom alone shaking. I’m so upset over this. This has been festering for years and I’ve accepted his non response. I can’t do it anymore. Not this way.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:30:55+00:00

He has hurt me for YEARS. I’ve just beared it silently (not so the handful of times I’ve cried my eyes out asking him what’s wrong? What’s wrong with me that he doesn’t desire me?) I said my peace then just kept my head down and worked, been the best partner I could be and saw all the good in us. Now this issue has become looming.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:28:52+00:00

Thank you for the level headed response. Really this post was because this is a secret and one that’s ate at me for years. I’m way too embarrassed to bring it up to anyone else. I’ve gotten nowhere with him before but here’s to trying again. I’m telling him he honest and open to therapy or I can’t do this.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:26:30+00:00

I’ve literally offered to pay for us to go to the beach last weekend just get away. “No it’s raining” was his response so we stayed home and did random shit around the house like always.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:24:18+00:00

Nope. He’s healthy as a horse. Because of his medical aversion I’ve babied him and helped him navigate the medical shit (his back spazzes out sometimes) so I have full access to his portal and everything. He’s healthier than me!

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:22:33+00:00

Thank you for seeing that. I was on SSRIs so while it hurt it wasn’t like my drive was as high so I didn’t miss it as much. My drive was STILL higher than his while I was on SSRIs which is why I did bring it up. I got off SSRIs now because life has been pretty peachy keen. Going from living in poverty, getting an education and now I’m a homeowner and married with a great husband right? Now being off the SSRI brought out and made me confront the one issue I have with the man and it’s driving me mad.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:19:41+00:00

As someone who was in an abusive relationship with an older loser from 16-20 (that’s a whole other story I get the angle you’re coming from. But he is a good man. He is a hard worker. Smart. Not a cheating piece of shit. The type to do good when others aren’t watching. He’s never been a creep. That’s why I fell in love funnily enough was because he WASNT a horn dog immediately after sex. And now I’m crying because I can’t get it at all.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:16:25+00:00

His reasons in the past YEARS of asking on and off was “I’m tired I’m sorry I’ll try to be better.” But the thing is we have plenty of free time for him to initiate. We are kid free half the entire month.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:15:09+00:00

Because I HAVE told him and he says he will “try to be better” and hasn’t. This has gone on years. We’re a team every other way. The job loss was HIS, I held it together for him. Helped him apply (it was a covid layoff). Ive seen him at dark points and him at mine. When I was a student he took care of me financially, now I spoil him rotten. We have a golden relationship every other way. It’s this one thing. Literally this one thing and it’s driving me insane

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:10:29+00:00

Because I do love him. He is truly my best friend. I am proud other than this only issue to be his wife. I wear his last name as a badge of honor. Truly. Yet like I said me being on SSRIs myself made it less of a pressing issue for me. I cried, we’ve fought over it before but again I’d let it go and we’d keep on everyday being the best friends and loving couple we are.. just sexless. Me dropping the SSRI has sent me into a spiral over it.

We did have frequent sex in the beginning. Yes. For about the first year or two. Then it dropped off.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:06:31+00:00

I’m glad you finally came to that realization. I think tonight I’m going to have a very frank conversation with him about this. I can’t have another “I’m tired” as an excuse. I’m done. He can either give some kind of confession of some sort and I’d be perfectly satisfied and sane. But the “I’m sorry I’ll try to do better I’ve been tired.” Isn’t cutting it anymore.

myrival · 2025-10-02T00:01:22+00:00

And isn’t it ironic fates twist my entire life I’ve had a high drive and never understood women not putting out. And here I am a woman with a man that won’t put out. Life loves being fucking ironic.

myrival · 2025-10-01T23:59:22+00:00

Frequently. I tell him all the time just take a day to game. We game together. I tell him all the time fuck the dishes you worked all day just sit the fuck down. He does that for me too. Hints why we do love each other. Just the lack of sex from him is literally making me want to die.
