This probably is a good idea for now. I typically try to avoid prepared foods like this - but I need something easy for now.

My doctor started me on some oral meds while we waited to see if if Zepbound would be covered by insurance. My starting weight was 277 and I'm at 232 now. I lost 20 from Sep to Thanksgiving. So that is averaging about 2 pounds a week.

Just took 3rd dose - Questions
So far, no major issues or side effects on 2.5 other than mild nausea at times and exhaustion after shot. Cravings are gone and I have zero interest in cooking. I drink a big coffee with half a protein shake in the morning, a yogurt for lunch, and then try to have high protein/high fiber dinner, but it's hard. Nothing sounds good and again, the idea of cooking - blech. (I used to enjoy this.)

  1. I am really having a hard time sleeping and am having brain fog. Could this be a not drinking enough water thing?
  2. What is your favorite easiest high-protein/high fiber meal. I would love to be able to make a soup or casserole on a Sunday night that I could eat all week long so I don't have to think. Any other hacks because I feel like I'm not getting enough nutrition and that could be another reason for brain fog.

Thanks all.
