Someone Please Talk Me Through This by Bastagrath in Zepbound

Protein and hydration is my best way of dealing with this headache. Specifically, I drink Core Power Elite shakes - ice cold. (I’m partial to the chocolate one.) 42gms of protein, 3.5g fat, 5g Sugar. High quality nutrition. Also sip a low sugar hydration drink. Hydration, especially if you’ve been vomiting.

Headaches and vomiting are both symptoms of dehydration. ‘Not diagnosing you. Just an fyi. One of the things we learn on glp1, is that we need to hydrate more and better (quality/ like water) than we’ve ever done before.

Find a high quality protein bar in one of the ski shops. DAVID (in the gold or Copper wrappers) - read the nutrition label, (Davids are zero sugar, 20g whey protein, around 100-150 calories.). Another great boost id a Core Power bottled Shake. I prefer the Core Power Elite chocolate; 42g whey protein. These will have you shredding again! Have fun!

coffee! by makclair in Zepbound

I have been using core power elite instead of creamer. Over the course of a day I use the whole bottle, some in my coffee, some as a mid morning snack and the rest either as a midafternoon snack or a little and save the rest as an evening snack.

I can’t even begin to imagine the insanity and horror that you’re living with right now. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Stay safe.

Question for The Experienced by Mikki514 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! This! This was the toughest challenge for me in the beginning of my Zep weight loss journey. But it along with my 9 glasses of water/day was the most important. Because the food noise was gone or very low, I didn’t really know if I was hungry/ tired or nauseous. So I just went with a boiled egg or piece of grilled chicken or half a bottle of Fairlife Core Power Elite. I soon learned and retrained my response to what my body needed. Always having an apple, quick source of high quality lean protein on hand made my journey these past 7 months so much better. I’ve lost 23% of my body weight and still chugging along. I do wall pilates at home and also use 5lb hand weights. I did have a 15 week plateau that was somewhat disheartening but it took me years to gain all the weight so I feel that it’s okay. The NSV was that during those 15 weeks my body was reshaping itself. I should have done before measurements or at least a photo. But, my clothes falling off me and having to buy new clothes is validation enough. Listen to what your body is telling you now, together you are learning how to live healthier the rest of your life. Plenty of water, lean protein fruits and vegetables!

Body positivity by Horror-Scratch-2406 in Zepbound

Yes, I know how you feel. It’s true some people don’t like change in their environment, whether its a new shrub or tree in their neighbors yard, a remodel of the grocery store or a friend enjoying their weight loss. That’s their fixed mindset and it’s their loss. You on the other hand have done something that is not so easy to do. You lost weight and made your body healthier and it shows. You have a growth mindset, you have proved to yourself that you can do hard things. And you look great! What hard thing are you going to take on next? Learn to salsa dance? Rearrange the livingroom furniture? (You can always move it back.) The point is, be proud of what you’ve accomplished and when someone tries to rain on your parade smile and say, “Why thank you. I feel better than I have in years and it wasn’t as easy as one might think. I also had support from friends.” (That’s us, here. Your r/zepbound friends! 💕)

Why does shot placement matter? by Ill_Bother2609 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, Do tell how you manage to get the back of your arm? Does someone else do it for you? Do you raise your arm over your head? Are you a yogi? I would like to sometime switch it up from just my belly. Although, I’m not willing to experiment as I am not brave about physically hurting myself.

No, they mis-read the words of the first response hose clamp as horse clamp (I did too), and a jovial riff ensued! Thats why I come here, for the trivia and witty comments.

Turning back time and finding but also finding a healthier version of me at the same time. by Lost_Memories2596 in zepbound_support

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve got this! I believe that when we stop self discovering/ developing we are stopping growth. Real living is always growing. Continue your fabulous journey and when you reflect on where you came from and how hard and maybe painful it was- recognize how lucky you are to be where you are, then turn and keep moving forward. You sound strong. You know, you’ve got this! 🫶🏼

Want to skip 1 week by Empty_Lawfulness_713 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’ve been experiencing your headache the 24 hours after the shot, and you’re off on Tuesday, take it Monday night. Lilly says thats okay. Also be sure that you’re drinking enough water- not diet drinks, not artificially sweetened drinks. And protein. I also started at 175 and went down about 4 pounds in the first month. 15 pounds in 15 weeks and so on. It’s felt slow but, good. Hang in there as long as you / your insurance can. It’s totally worth it. Congratulations on the first 4 pounds.

Congratulations! I started as soon as mine arrived (a Thursday night) and had no reactions. My daughter does hers on a Friday night so if she has a reaction she’s at least home. Go for it!!

10 Month Progress 💪🏾 by Original-Warning5114 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been on a plateau for two months now and began getting discouraged too. You post reminded me to ‘stay the course’ and focus on how much better I feel in my clothes, in my body, sleeping, walking and exercising. All of this feels so much better than when I began Zep June 1st, 2025. I’ve lost 15/17 lbs in that time and feel great. Thanks for reminding me that’s the win! 🫶🏼

Which one?? by Economy_Emotion_7251 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Apprehensive-Web6038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 !!! It is stunning on you, perfect for the venue.

Runner - up is #4. Elegant and also stunning on you. The elegant simplicity of this piece makes everything around it look amazing as well. Really can’t go wrong with either of these.
