Ice coffee is fine. A Frappuccino is a red flag.

Have you tried injecting on your thigh? Skin is less sensitive than the tummy.

Jamie Chapman

This ended up being discussed, but I've never heard of this red welt side effect with GLP-1. I'd be curious if this a GLP-1 thing, or a Zepbound thing. I'm currently on Ozempic and have never had anything remotely close to that. If it's possible, definitely worth at least trying a different drug.

It was only a quick mention, but for workplaces that offer free food, "can you pack things to take home? and if so how much is appropriate?" is like the third rail of office discussion topics. Whenever it comes up at my work ... 🚨🚨🚨 ... nothing good can happen!

Jordan Cohen

I’ve heard of some new glp-1 meds in pill form instead of injections, but I don’t know any details about them. Would those be an option to get around the welts? Sorry you’re dealing with this Dave, sounds so frustrating :-(

Ralf Haring

The Primetime discussion reminded me of a film that came out in 2022 during the pandemic, The Artifice Girl, which combines some of the questions the current film poses with then-imminent topics of AI.

David Chen

Thanks Jordan. Ozempic has a pill form but zepbound does not yet. Maybe one day.

Time to stock up on pork floss !!!

Dave. Super random. Have you heard of this show called Dang! on Netflix? It’s a raunch adult animated series that focuses on three Asian American siblings living together in NYC. It’s a dirty show but it also has themes of the Asian American experience. The siblings are an overachiever female corporate attorney, a female content creator on OnlyFans, and a gay brother working at a startup. Stephanie Hsu voices the lawyer. It’s an interesting comedic mix You’ll either get a kick out of it or absolutely hate it. YMMV

It's a lot of fun to discover where I sit when Joy and David are sharing their philosophies on hoarding for the upcoming apocalypse. I'm right in-between. I will buy a shit ton of canned sardines and borrow stuff from my friendly neighbours. All jokes aside, thank you for recapping horrible news I missed!

I started Zepbound two weeks after you. I was on the fence for a long time, struggling and failing with traditional methods, and feeling mentally worse each time I couldn't make it stick. Your conversations certainly helped me understand better what it would actually be like and what to expect, and the information and perspectives helped me, so thank you. I'm curious how you felt going in to the dose increase, and how the higher dose has felt. I'm at my third 2.5mg (using the QuikPen), and I'm already feeling like the dose is not making it as far through the week.

David Chen

this means a lot! Thanks for sharing. Honestly? So far I'm LOVING the higher dose. My body feels pretty much totally normal and I'm experiencing virtually no food noise at all. Also finding it lasts me a good 6 days out of the 7 before I feel really hungry again.

Lilly has the Fundayo pill, their counter to the Ozempic pill. Not recommending either, just providing info.

David Chen

I thought about this and maybe I will still do it. The reason I didn't is because if I need to rub cream on it and stuff, it's harder to access/see if it's on my thigh or arm, vs my belly.
