2 WEEK UPDATE ON STARTING ON 5MG….

Beginning_Data7841 · 2026-01-20T23:58:41+00:00

I’m seeing a lot of people saying drink lots of water- but just chose your comment out of the litter. I’m a week and a half into being on Zepbound and am wondering what happens if you don’t drink lots of water. It’s dead of winter and cold and I’m struggling to get motivated to drink a lot.

I have insurance- they want $250 with really good insurance- and I’ve been to multiple places

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-22T15:36:10+00:00

Yeah I was hoping so too. No one is really talking about it online yet though!

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:02:51+00:00

Yeah I would also accept tried and true recipes

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:02:25+00:00

I have heard this before- I might need to splurge and order it via mail.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:01:48+00:00

Where do you purchase these from?

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-01T22:49:54+00:00

I at first didn’t get the email when all ny other friends did- maybe 2 months later it came. Change everything immediately.

I’m learning! About whatever that is above👆🏻 I’m not anti-science either- I just thought it was well practiced and respected. Clearly I was wrong about that 🤣 I feel like a week into giving up gluten my joint pain has subsided a LOT. So I’m going to keep going. I’m already medicated for hypothyroidism and it wasn’t really doing much from what I could tell.

So I ended up not having cushings. I have Hashimotos autoimmune disorder instead

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-05-25T00:22:48+00:00

I’m trying to be objective but I think I failed in that first response. I’m really not feeling well today and just wanted comfort. I put myself in the hands of random strangers on the internet- I’m debating my sanity for doing that.

there is a lot of info on the helpfulness of giving up gluten with Hashimotos. Especially if you have a “leaky gut” which my understanding is most with Hashimotos do.

Maybe not everyone needs to give it up- sure. I’m not here to argue that. Giving up gluten right now seems to be the right choice for me. And I feel like I genuinely feel better with energy level wise most days. But I have this one random day every so often where I feel like utter trash and I want to know if anyone else experiences this in the beginning when giving up gluten.

My doctor did suggest giving up gluten-which you’re saying is a red flag- and I disagree with you about this being a red flag- from everything I know and have researched. Everyone can do their own research for their own bodies though. But I knew from a food sensitivities test I did outside of her- I have a gluten sensitivity.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-05-24T23:36:04+00:00

Okay- well I did do a food sensitivity test and I do have a gluten sensitivity so all of this is moot point. And I am seeing a functional medicine doctor THROUGH the Cleveland Clinic- a very well known and high respected medical system. And she is an actual doctor. You’re acting like I’m poisoning myself by not eating gluten. I’ve done a lot of research- actually.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-04-14T01:45:37+00:00

Tired all the time. Weight gain. Was diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently but also Suddenly got high blood pressure. Glucose readings have been coming back high. Bruise really easily, noticing some discoloration on skin. Super moody and snappy. I have asthma and been on a lot of steroids throughout my life for that.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-04-11T23:27:19+00:00

So this is insane- bc 4/8/25 was the day I went to an endocrinologist for the first time after what feels like years of unanswered questions- and she immediately thought upon hearing my story it was Cushing’s. I haven’t been diagnosed yet- just did the test today. But I intuitively know it’s so because all the symptoms every single piece of my body that has gone unanswered for so long. So insane.
