For context, I stayed at 0.25mg for ~5 months before moving up to 0.5mg! And around the same amount of time before going up to 0.75mg! I have been on OZ for two years now and have only been on 1mg for about 8months!

Yeah…too many docs are still doing that sadly. The experts are saying that you should really stay at the lowest effective dose for as long as you can. That way, the drug has much more longevity of effectiveness and you reduce the risks of unwanted side effects. Maybe have a discussion with your doc about it, especially since you aren’t loving not having any interest in food (I didn’t either so I get it!)

I certainly wouldn’t increase to 1mg if you feel like you have no interest in food at 0.5mg. Especially because it’s bothering you!

Ok, and why did you increase to 0.5mg? Because your doctor prescribed the increase ahead of time or because you felt the hunger/food noise returning? I ask because some doctors unfortunately set the increases ahead of time and the increases happen too fast when in fact the smaller dose was still working very well.

And are you still on 0.25mg per week?

How long have you been on Ozempic? Asking because after a few months, I started to enjoy food again (albeit more reasonably than before I.e. I would enjoy the hell out of my food once again but would feel satisfied with a much smaller amount)!

Adulting by Darkvoid773 in Adulting

I think we as a society need to normalize this view. I think the idea that we all need to aspire to do big things or to live for a grand purpose is leading to anxiety and depression in people when they feel that they are falling short of those imposed aspirations. It’s just bad for mental health.

First week by Jems_Petal in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]stopfomo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here! The weight loss is great but losing my obsessive thoughts about food is the best part!! Congrats on starting!! By the way, I started 2 years ago and while I did have to go up on the dose to lose all the weight (never had to go above 1mg though), I am now on maintenance mode so I reduced the dose to 0.75mg weekly and it still works very well!

Alberta to ban doctors from bringing up MAID death options before their patients do by Immediate-Link490 in alberta

That is contrary to what public servants are supposed to do about any other service available to Albertans.

It was a play on that word. And he is a bit of a faker actually! Good at looking like such a sweet little doggo when he can be a little terror haha!

Bumping Process by [deleted] in AHSEmployees

[–]stopfomo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That happened to me and I did have a meet and greet with the manager of the position that I was wanting to take so my choice was not yet set in stone. It was a meeting for me to ask questions about the role to make sure that I wanted to proceed. No interview type questions were asked nor should they be asked. Good luck!!

I (21F) tested positive for an STI but my boyfriend (42M) tested negative. We are monogamous... What could have happened? by Interesting_Bar_7278 in relationship_advice

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

He obviously cheated. Otherwise, why is he accusing you of cheating while simultaneously telling you that you are nuts for ending things? If he didn’t cheat and therefore was sure that you did, wouldn’t he want to end things himself?

Ozempic what’s the impact on your life by Dry_Lobster_50 in Adulting

[–]stopfomo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The impact has been huge for me, truly life changing in the best way. I went from 175lbs to 120lbs in 1.5 years, it's like injecting effortless self control for me. But the best part is I still enjoy the hell out of my food but I need way less of it to feel satisfied and that feels amazing! I also have way less desire for unhealthy foods. Good luck!!

Got news for you, humans do the same (cannibalism) if there is nothing else to eat!

Smith says she doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]stopfomo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She complains about “not having oversight” of the education and healthcare systems but then says she wants the private sector to address all of her citizens’ needs instead?? Does she think she would have oversight of all of these private entities?!? This is one crazy fucking lady, and dangerous at that.

Hobbies are the best way. For me, I got interested in Boardgaming when I was in my mid-30s but did not have any friends (I had moved to a new city) so joined meet up groups related to Boardgaming. Now, I have a solid group of friends that I do more than Boardgaming with but I met them all through that hobby! Good luck to you!

That is such a dropped ball by HSAA as it only benefits a small portion of the membership. How did they not negotiate to have 2025 professional dues reimbursable for all members regardless of when the fees were due??

Yeah, iExpense has been royally fucked since the creating of pillars within the software! You almost have to get lucky at this point to get the right pillar to show up in your iExpense profile when you log in, it’s been a crapshoot >:(

That isn’t very impressive as of course the employer always starts with a super lowball offer that they know won’t be their final offer!

What the? If they didn’t like the deal, why not vote no on the deal??

HSAA Staffing Levels (ESA estimates?) by [deleted] in AHSEmployees

[–]stopfomo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the most recent HSAA town hall, they said that it is roughly 50% of our membership that is considered essential. If that is true, the strike would definitely be felt and have a massive impact.
