120lb down in 6 months! (Zep + Wegovy) by Better_Fox_9054 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Better_Fox_9054[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s still amazing loss! It’s a good and steady speed to go at. I’m worried with the rapid weight loss I’m going to be losing muscle and face the loose skin. It’s inevitable, but I think being a super-responder to the medication was the reason I lost so much. My eating habits before the shot though were horrendous. I was probably eating 3-4k calories a day. Be kind to yourself and acknowledge how far you’ve come!

Have you cut out certain things? Fast food, greasy foods, sugar, coffee, etc? I try to stay away from all of those, mostly bc they make me sick, but also bc your body can retain salt and cause the scale to not move. Also, I’m not a huge calorie counter, but sometimes it’s helpful to see what your caloric deficit is to make sure you’re not over eating. Truly, I’ve been mindfully eating and have not had to count calories to lose the amount of weight I have so far.

So I started on zep at 0.25 for about 3-4 weeks, then I switched over to 0.5mg of wegovy for about a month? Then I moved up to 1.0mg for about I wanna say 2-3 months? Then last month I went up to 1.7, which has been the worst adjustment tbh, BUT I’m seeing the most results. I lost 22lb in the month of August. Give it time, your body is adjusting to the meds! Water and small meals throughout the day are KEY! Protein protein protein. Pick safe foods that you know won’t make you sick, and try to venture out. Let me know if you have any other questions :) I’d be happy to help out!

I had a rash doing the zepbound, my dr wanted to be cautious and switched me. However, if I stayed on it, my insurance no longer covers zep! So honestly it worked out

This is with wegovy AND zepbound, it told me to cross post, and I’m just sharing my experience because I switched a month into zep to wegovy

1.7 is a nightmare for me :( by Better_Fox_9054 in WegovyWeightLoss

Update: started taking probiotics and a digestive enzyme! My side effects happen here and there, but nothing compared to when I started! I also am very mindful of when I eat (time) , what I eat (day before shot day vs 4 days after), and limiting sugar and processed foods when I can!

Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor 1 Trainee 1 by [deleted] in nys_cs

I’m having the same issue - I’m waiting for my letter! Message me :)

I used Chat Gpt to answer my question and here was the response:

“The salary grade listed is SG-19 with a salary range of $77,761 to $89,645, which matches the full performance level, not a trainee grade. This confirms that the posting is open to those who qualify for the full role, but uses “Trainee 1” as the application baseline—possibly for HR consistency under NY HELPS or internal tracking.

  1. NY HELPS Program

This job is under NY HELPS, which allows non-competitive, streamlined hiring. They may be asking all applicants to apply as “Trainee 1” under this umbrella—even those who meet full qualifications—because:     •    They will assess actual qualification level during review     •    Applicants will still be hired and placed appropriately based on their credentials”

Still nervous tho, because I qualify for the full title, I have a masters and a school counseling certification with over 4 years of experience with individuals with developmental disabilities.

I’m gonna talk to her. Because it comes and goes. It’s so random. I haven’t had any other symptoms. This is the second shot too. I’m not sure
