Oooh-Zempic!

I've been off the semaglutides for a couple of weeks now and the food cravings haven't come back. It could just not be all out of my system yet, though.

I've also read about semaglutides blocking alcohol cravings, which is amazingly wonderful. But TBH, at the same time, I feel a bit uneasy about the whole "wonder drug" status of semaglutides. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but hopefully that's just me being pessimistic.

All good things! A lot of good research is on your side. There is no large amount of substantial research that says using semaglutides in the short term is harmful. Enjoy the ride! Weight loss is hard on its own, use all the tools you can!

Anyway, my next lab work is due in April. My blood sugar had dropped to "pre-diabetic" at 143 pounds (down from 160). Now I'm at 135 and hoping for "non-diabetic." Also, I took a nap without my CPAP machine and husband said I didn't snore purr.
Still not doing so well on the exercise part of it but tbh I don't care right now. My weight goal is ten more pounds and then I'll tackle exercise. IMO changing habits is enough of a beyotch without trying to change all of them at once.

This is amazing! You improve your sleep quality and your weight loss journey becomes easier. Changing habits is really hard, but it seems you're on the right path. Keep doing what you are doing, and when you are ready, you can implement additional habits that will help with your journey!

A new ruling :
Medicare and Medicaid will not cover these meds when used for weight loss but will cover when prescribed by physicians for diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Obesity of course is a disease IMO but this is the ruling for now
