Hi all!
After fighting the (losing) battle of gaining weight since college, I reached a breaking point at Christmas 2023 at 370 pounds. There’s no way to explain that despair to those that have never had the food demons.
Finding a PCP in Jan 24 willing to work with me was one key. He wanted me to start Zepbound then, but insurance didn’t cover and who can pay $1600 retail/month? I started instead with phenytermine, and white knuckled it for over a year using intermittent fasting and a stubborn ‘I’m not giving in this time’ to lose 125 pounds. Figures that I’ld finally switch to Zepbound this winter just as the tirz compounded options were yanked.
Reddit communities were a wealth of information as I quickly tried to absorb the new landscape and started stashing from the highly rated 503Bs. And kept running into more references to Grey, and other peptides.
I’m hoping to clue in again, to get thru this next phase. Tirz is something different -not so much white knuckle now but also only down 25 this year with a goal of 70 to go. I’m hoping to find out more better ways to manage the expenses and options available outside of big pharma. I know I have a lot to learn, and look forward to find a way thru this landscape.
Thanks for reading thru!
