Broken Chef
Senior Member
Well, hopefully I'll eventually be a skinny chef that you can trust!
I'm 53yo, disabled from multiple spine surgeries, and have packed on the pounds the last 10 years since I was disabled.
I was on Ozempic for 6 months before Medicare figured out I don't have diabetes and stopped paying for it. In my search for affordable compounding pharmacies, I ran across people talking about peptides on Reddit. So I spent about 35-40 hours over the last week learning, asking questions, and talking to people. Which led me here!
I'm currently 5'8" and 255#. Was up to 280 before I started Ozempic, dropped to 240, but have put 15# back on since the Ozempic ran out 2 months ago. I'm a bit desperate to get back on it, but not at the risk of losing money or getting sick from garbage, so I've been full force researching peptides the last 7 days or so.
I'm finding the options a bit overwhelming so I am hoping to learn more in order to make an educated choice in a supplier. I'll probably be pretty quiet for a while while I search and read, but will chime in with questions.
If there are any lists going around of good/bad suppliers or other things that you know I'll probably be asking about, please don't hesitate to direct me.
I'm not easily offended, and am a bit of a long winded jabber jaw, so I apologize in advance because once I open up, I'm like a 18yo girl on cocaine. blah, blah blah, blah blah
Did I mention I'm a chef... oh yeah... Never trust a skinny chef, lol It's a lot like going to see a physical therapist who doesn't fit on the big/tall chair and tells you to exercise more, lol No offense to anyone who might be that guy/girl!
I'm gen X! We played tag with bb guns, would fist fight one day and be best friends the next, a string of 18 cuss words was a compliment, we bought cigarettes from the store at 12 years old just by saying my mom sent me, carried knives to school, and had rifles and shotguns in our cars to go hunting after school... My how times have changed!
I am from a small town in PA where everyone knew who I was because my dad owned the primary HVAC business and my uncle owned the primary insurance business. My dad was a "greaser/motor head" in his younger days and all his friends worked in the car dealerships/repair shops in town. So wherever I went, I was busted before I even did anything. But that just taught me to be clever, because I got away with more 'things' than kids these days even dream about.
Oh, I have 2 kids and 2 grand kids (wait, what? when tf did that happen?) I feel old! But rightly so - when I was 40, my dr told me I had the spine of a 65 year old. From ages 14-30, I played and partied like it was my last day on earth. My motto was... this might take 5 minutes off my life, but it's 5 minutes at the end, when I'm decrepit so who cares... oops, I blinked, now I'm decrepit.
I suffer from chronic pain so I'm hoping weight loss will help with that. Once I get going on Ozempic, I will be looking into other peptides that might help with pain, so I'm not here for just the magic fat man powder.
If you made it to the end of my rant you have more patience than me! But if you did, or if you share my strengths, weaknesses, or common interests, lets chat. I'm an open book and always happy to chat with anyone about anything.
Metal head til the day I die.... What do you wanna do with your life?
Some of my favorite quotes, from the funniest man who ever lived... RIP!!
Religion is like a pair of shoes... Find one that fits for you, but dont make me wear your shoes!
The reason I talk to myself is becasue I'm the only one whose answers I accept...
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups...
I dont have pet peeves - I have major psychotic f'ing hatreds...
Farewell... May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house...
If you dont know who said these things, you are seriously missing out!
