Pharmacy update today - backorder again?

Lost 13 myself and my gap last spring went three days past empty -- small frequent protein-heavy meals plus lots of water kept the noise manageable. Second the partial fill tip, that's what got me through until the full script showed up.

Backorders burned me twice last year before I learned to start calling around a week early. When I did hit a gap, smaller protein-forward meals and staying busy kept the food noise from spiraling. Worth asking your pharmacy to check other locations in their network too, mine found stock two towns over.

Same boat with the backorder scramble, and calling other network locations is what finally worked for me too after 30 lbs down. One thing that helped on top of the protein-small-meals approach: I planned my week around being busy so I wasn't grazing out of boredom while the appetite crept back. Definitely worth asking about a partial fill if you're almost out, my pharmacist offered it before I even finished asking.

Down 45 myself and I've learned the pharmacy network trick is the real lifesaver -- mine tracked down stock at a branch I never would have thought to call. Also worth asking if they can text you when the shipment lands instead of you chasing it.
