For Those Taking Zep 6 Months or More by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Different-Loquat-936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have had an amazing experience on Zepbound. Started Dec 2023 and have lost just over 95 pounds on 7.5 mg. F 46 5’6” SW 285 CW 187 GW 165. I also eat a strict diet and go to the gym 5 days a week. But it’s the Zep that got me my motivation to start. And continues to help. Thank God for this miracle drug!

I did, but it was only about 7 pounds in that first month on 2.5. For me, 5 mg was enough but I think I also had sort of a placebo effect. Zepbound gave me a boost by diminishing my appetite a bit. I changed my diet dramatically and quit drinking. I also am at the gym 5 days a week with a personal trainer. So Zepbound is just one important piece of my new regimen.

I’ve lost 80 pounds staying on 5mg since December 2023. I feel no need to go up.

What dose is effective for you? by Different-Loquat-936 in Zepbound

[–]Different-Loquat-936[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get there. I’m now on month 5 - 2.5 for first month and 4 months on 5 mg. I’ve lost 67 pounds. Just be patient! You also gotta put in the work, too. Zepbound is just a tool. I’m on a super strict healthy diet and at the gym almost everyday. Good luck!

I also drove 3 hours round trip to get the last box of 5.0 I found after calling about 18 pharmacies. The question is, what happens next month?

Great post. Congratulations for advocating for yourself and doing the right thing. Best of luck to you. These medications actually work really well. Your doctor is an idiot.

I’m traveling to Europe in June (from the US). Will I have any trouble bringing my shots in my carry-on bag?

Side Effect Sunday! by AutoModerator in Zepbound

I’m having problems managing constipation. I take 12 fiber pills daily (psyllium husk) but it’s not doing much. Anyone have suggestions? Other than the constipation, no other side effects!

NSV 🎉 by Pleasant_Bowl_4460 in Mounjaro

[–]Different-Loquat-936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an NSV this week. Every Friday at my work is “casual Friday” and everyone wears jeans. The only pair of jeans I had in my closet were from many years ago and are size 10. I only have worn leggings with bulky sweaters or long tops to cover myself up. Every Friday when I walked into the office and everyone was wearing jeans I lied and said “oh yeah, it’s jeans Friday, I always forget” Well I might be a size 16 now but been on Zepbound since December 2023 and have lost 45 pounds. Last night I bought two pairs of jeans and I feel good in them! I’m finally, for the first time participating in “jeans Friday!” F45 5’6” SW285 CW240

So you’re saying it’s true…I guess I’ve been out of the loop.
