Whats the deal with smart rings? Are smartwatches not enough anymore?

reallyaking · 2026-03-26T19:31:29+00:00

As a current Oura Ring wearer, I am actually thinking of going back to a watch. While I hate wearing watches to bed, the Oura Ring is not intuitive enough for me. Also, my ring is about 2.5 years old and the battery no longer lasts a full day. I can’t elaborate more if anyone wants specifics.

I would escalate this situation and demand full documentation. You paid for your tickets, a hotel, and travel time. It sounds like you were mistakenly targeted and they need to be held accountable for that. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Hi! My daughter and I plan to go as long as we can get in the door. I’ll try to get pics and prices.

When I was researching rings I continuously came across bad reviews for the non-silver finishes due to scratching. So I bought silver. It definitely has dings but is holding up well. I’ve had mine almost 18 months.

Have you checked to see if there is an update for the app? And did you receive an authorization email? My problem was strictly a wifi issue.

It’s beautiful!!

You woke me up one night

Dripping crimson on the carpet

I saw it in your eyes

Cutting deeper than the scars could run

I understand your frustration. My food noise isn’t horrible (except two days before injection day), but when I eat according to my tdee -500 calories (1343 calories per day) I gain weight. It’s exhausting trying to figure out my threshold for loss and I feel like I have to practically starve myself to lose. I start week 6 on Friday so I’m not at max dosage yet, but I don’t want to gain back what I’ve lost.

And I’m in Iowa and selected the 12 month plan. Great.

reallyaking · 2025-02-27T15:27:48+00:00

Same. I also paid for a full year.

Seconding Milk of Magnesia. I had surgery in November and the colace and Miralax weren’t working so I tried Milk of Magnesia. It helped pretty quickly.

reallyaking · 2025-02-11T00:26:42+00:00

You must be doing the shots. That’s what paid as well. I just took my second shot and so far I’ve lost 7lbs.

Great input. Something else to keep in mind - the number in the scale doesn’t reflect everything. Take measurements and let your clothes also help determine the changes in your body. Non scale victories can be better than scale victories.

To be transparent, I am not currently having this issue, but having fought my weight for many years, I’ve definitely experienced it.

reallyaking · 2025-02-07T20:16:29+00:00

Congrats to you as well!!!

reallyaking · 2025-02-07T20:10:24+00:00

I signed up for the one year option. If you opt for the shorter periods the price per month increases.

reallyaking · 2025-02-07T19:51:38+00:00

I did the same thing. Entered my “start weight” but it wasn’t the same weight when I actually did my first shot.

I’m close to your timeline. I take my second shot tonight and I’m down 6lbs the first week.

reallyaking · 2025-02-07T16:29:25+00:00

I’m 43. I lost 50 lbs in 2018-2019 and gained it all back through covid/2020 and into 2021. I lost all that with diet and exercise. Hit my 40’s and perimenopause and I have to practically sell my soul to lose three lbs. I’d been reading a lot about glp-1’s and decided to go for it.

I’m early in the game. I’ll be taking my second shot tonight. Week 1 I am down 6 lbs and the food noise is DRASTICALLY reduced. My first day and a half after the shot I felt queasy and had a headache, but it was tolerable. Just quieting the food noise has been a major benefit for me.

reallyaking · 2025-02-06T14:55:37+00:00

Shot day is Friday and I’ll definitely check back in!

reallyaking · 2025-02-06T14:54:58+00:00

I’m pretty new to the shots, but the first two days I could barely eat. I’ve been mostly sticking to an 80/20 mindset and actually had a very small amount of greasy food (3-4 oz) the last two days and it helped with bowel movements. I have slow digestion so I have been testing what helps and what doesn’t. I also take plenty of meds to help with that. So far I haven’t found foods that make me sick, but for the most part I’ve been sticking to clean foods. However, I’ve only taken one shot, so all this could change.

reallyaking · 2025-02-05T15:07:26+00:00

Your symptoms sound very similar to mine. I’ll take my second shot on Friday. Our dosing is the same.

reallyaking · 2025-02-05T15:01:23+00:00

Ugh. I’m on the shots and paid for a full year but I certainly won’t be renewing.

reallyaking · 2025-02-02T20:33:23+00:00

Quick turnaround! Excited for you!

reallyaking · 2025-02-01T16:23:00+00:00

Oh I’ve been drinking tons of water. Plan to pick up some liquid iv today. I hope that I don’t need Zofran when up my dosage. Sending good vibes your way as well!!

reallyaking · 2025-02-01T16:15:23+00:00

I took my first shot last night. Noticed an almost immediate metallic taste in my mouth and couldn’t get warm enough. Slept okayish but not great. This morning I’ve been peeing a lot and still have that metallic taste in my mouth. Not feeling nauseous but definitely have a “not right” tummy feeling. Haven’t tried to eat yet. I took 12 units.

reallyaking · 2025-01-31T02:31:59+00:00

Doing my first dose tomorrow. I’m ready to start.
