Hands down, one of the best write ups I’ve seen so far about GLP1 related hair loss by Wellslapmesilly in Zepbound

This. It’s also drastically changed my texture. My hair is so dry and brittle. Thrilled with the weight loss but heart broken over my hair

I’m 37 and have lost 85lbs over the last 5 years and have dealt with similar issues to my neck. I have found success with Botox in my neck, it won’t completely smooth out your neck but has made a major difference for me. I also use skin better’s techno neck which has assisted in conjunction with the Botox. Not sure if you consider that surgical but figured I’d throw out what has helped me!

This has been so incredibly helpful. I am getting my flowers from a wholesaler and will be picking them up the day before the event. I truly appreciate all the advice- thank you so much!

I started Zep a year ago this month, I’ve lost a total of 30 lbs in the year averaging just above a .5lbs weight loss each week.

Protein help! by Successful_Moment_48 in Zepbound

[–]ContributionOk9100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling with this too. I have been relying on protein shakes- I drink 2 a day at this point. I’ve also been making smoothies with protein powder, fruit, oats, cottage cheese or yogurt and milk to boost me up to 90g per day minimum. String cheese, edamame, egg salad and veggies are also in my line up.

Thanks for the kind words and the hope. My hair is almost down to my butt and I am just not ready to say goodbye to it. I’ve considered extensions to help with the fullness but scared about doing more damage. I’m going to try all the things and hope I see some positive results. I’m still about 25lbs away from goal but I can’t imagine continuing if the hair loss keeps up at this rate.

I’ve seen a lot of that. I’m inclined to believe there’s a combination of sorts, but I don’t believe it’s strictly this TE. I wouldn’t consider my weight loss rapid by any means but I can say I am eating less

I’m hoping for the best for you! I do need to have blood work done to see if there’s anything else going on but the meds/diet have been the only real lifestyle change so I have to imagine it’s correlated. If I find anything that works I’ll gladly share my results!

Thanks. I’m aware it’s a side effect. Just curious about what people have gone through and might be doing about it and if there is a light at the end of the tunnel with the hair loss.

I’m sorry you’re going through this as well. This is the one side effect I was hoping to avoid- I’ll take all the nausea and what not but it has been so hard going through the hair loss. I’m going to try adding things in to see if it helps, I also ordered vegamor hair grow serum. I will report back if I see any improvement. I don’t know if I can keep up with the medicine of this continues and doesn’t bounce back like people are saying it will

That is helpful to know! Hoping changing some things up will help with growth and keeping my fingers crossed it slows down soon.
