Holy shite, this thread has grown since I looked at it. (I’m not reading 5 pages of fighting).
Update on me:
I’m closing in on 45 lbs lost (7 lbs since starting this thread).
I did start a daily regiment of a protein shake, which I believe slowed my weight loss some (in a good way).
I’...

Not sure what type you are talking about, but gumbo is gumbo, a soup like dish.
This looked like a thick bowl of red beans and rice sans the beans (same color and thickness). My daughter ordered it and was disappointed, so I ate it tonight, and l...

It was damn good. I remember last time I went, I wasn’t that impressed.
The only thing that was not on par with the rest of the food was the spring rolls (or egg rolls). They were good, just not as great as the rest of the food.
Another item that was misleading was their duck & andouille gum...

[quote]Why do you believe you should stop taking the medication?[/quote]
My primary did mention something like I could be on the med for life, with it replacing 2-3 of my scripts.
I just had it in my mind I would be on it for a few months (year) than come off of it. ...

$1200 seems awfully high. My wife has been on Wegovy for a few months, and has been paying $500 a month.
He primary couldn’t get her on it, she went to my primary and he got her on it (after being denied the first time). She now pays $22 a month...

[quote]2PM and you've had 15g of protein?!? That is not good and actually horrible. Even if you weren't on this drug you should be around 80-90g by now. The studies showing people losing 40% of weight as muscle mass are partly due to lack of protein just like this.[/quote]

[quote]175 lbs and 199 lbs are both "sub-200". What is your actual goal?[/quote]
I’m shooting for around 195, which will be 70lbs loss. The “chart” says I should weigh 175 at my height (6’). I think that’s a little thin for me. I have a large frame. I think 195 will be good. ...

There are lawsuits for every medicine ever made, because people react differently to any drugs.
Probably most of these lawsuits are due to idiots not using the medicine correctly, ...

It’s doctor’s recs. He said we will try the three doses 5, 7.5, & 10, then see what’s best for me.
I think 7.5 will be it because I noticed after a few weeks on the 5mg dose, on...

I got my first shot Feb 1st (2.5mg). I was on 5mg for the next eight shots (was supposed to go to 7.5mg after four shots of 5mg, but mix up on prescription kept me on 5mg another four weeks). I took my first 7.5mg last night.
My results:
