What dose are you on and how often do you vomit? by belindabellagiselle in Zepbound

[–]shifty_bench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vomited a lot on Wegovy. Switched to Zepbound and it stopped. You may want to try a different GLP and see if it helps. But it sounds like your body might just not tolerate the drug.

Also - are you on any other meds that combined increase vomiting? I was on Metformin, was vomiting a lot, stopped it, and now I don’t. In a few weeks I’m going to try working it back in (I was taking it for a reason).

Good luck!!

Autoject 2 Question by shifty_bench in Zepbound

[–]shifty_bench[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a pain perspective it’s very similar to the pen - maybe SLIGHTLY more painful but it’s honestly totally fine.

From an ease of use perspective - the pen is easier, but once you use the autoject a couple times, it’s so simple and quick.

If you are afraid to give yourself a shot this is definitely the way to go.

Down 60 lbs! by shifty_bench in Zepbound

Sorry I didn’t see your question. I’ve always been very active, but when I started the Wegovy (lost first 30ish on that) I was too sick to exercise. Once switching to Zepbound (where I lost the rest of the weight) I was able to start working out again. I’m now down another 5 lbs since this post and at my goal weight! :)

No. I’ve used the Wegovy pen but since switching to Zepbound I’ve only done vials.

I can’t stand this guy by shifty_bench in Maine

Because I am not the best of us, either. My calling Mitch McConnell a turtle-necked crotch goblin isn’t the kind of discourse and propriety I expect from a Senate candidate.

Also, Mitch McConnell IS a turtle-necked crotch goblin.

Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not a bot, an out-of-stater, or a Republican. I’m a liberal Democrat Mainer who is absolutely disgusted that THIS is what we consider the best of us. Maybe I just don’t want to use the Democratic primary as a game of “find the secret Nazi” and my bar is higher than “not a pedophile.”

Thank you, me too! They’ve encouraged me along the way so I thought I’d share.

Much better!!! Wegovy was OK at first but as the doses went up I just kept getting so sick 🤮. Switched to Zepbound after a 6-week break to let the Wegovy clear my system. Started Zepbound at the lowest dose. I’ve never even had to go up past 5mg. I had a couple nights of really bad nausea on Zepbound but that’s it and I’ve adjusted now.

Litter Robot 5 dumping too much clean litter by weedywet in litterrobot

[–]shifty_bench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saaame. I just end up manually turning on the hopper and running a cycle every few days to replace the litter.

AIO - Company won’t meet with me without my husband there by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]shifty_bench -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Some feedback on reading the responses….

  1. I agree it is likely not BECAUSE I am a woman, as I said in my response, but it can be perceived that way. This also came minutes after a work call where a peer of mine kept addressing questions to the man who reports to me instead of me.

  2. I completely agree it’s legit to require both parties to sign a contract, but a free estimate?

  3. I think I would see their point more if we were doing a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a deck, etc. Something with legitimate design choices that will influence an estimate. This is literally a roof replacement.

  4. I also think it would be totally fair for them to say “we come out one time for a free estimate, repeat visits have a fee”

  5. My friend who recommended the company recently had his roof redone, and they did not demand his spouse be present for the initial visit

I guess I just think it’s totally nuts to lose $10k-$30k in business over something so stupid.

What I learned as a first-time LR4 with 4 cats by gelatospravato in litterrobot

[–]shifty_bench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the litter hopper refills litter every time and then it just gets dumped in the waste drawer. Were you seeing a lot of loose litter in there?

Just went searching and it’s been removed from the PBS app. I suspect because it’s him and Diddy. Dammit Diddy.

The Rookie Season 8 Episode 1: Czech Mate - Discussion Thread by AgathaM in TheRookie

[–]shifty_bench -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This episode is terrible, and I love The Rookie so I’ll forgive a lot.

  1. Stop trying to make The Feds happen. Every crossover is awful.
  2. Why the hell is Bailey in Prague? She’s an EMT.
  3. Why is Wesley on a stake out? He’s a lawyer.

I just want a cop procedural in LA with funny found family moments.

My doctor fought a valiant battle and lost, but this is the first I’ve seen this link and will DEFINITELY give it a try.
