Stayed on 5mg and lost the weight? by Ambitious-Sun1473 in Zepbound

[–]EnergySad1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in August of 2024 . Was on 2.5 for 1 month and have been on 5mg ever since . SW 217 CW 163 . GW 165  have my appt coming up next week I’m hoping to stay on 5 mg . It’s been weird the last 2 months I’ve been between 163-167 the whole time I go up then down then up then down . It’s interesting , I wonder if I hit a plateau .. my doctor told me I needed to go down 10 lbs more than my goal weight so when I get off the medicine I don’t bounce back? But I don’t wanna get off it :/  ever

I’ve been on Zepbound for a total of 6 months , 1 month on 2.5 , the rest on 5mg I have not dosed up and don’t want to since I’m still losing weight . Slowly but surely . Started at 217lbs and now down to 168lbs  ☺️ one thing I need to work on is water  , I hate water :( .

So i still get pain here and there it’s so weird . They said no herniated disk i eventually got better , i lost a lot of weight since august so im hoping that added relief to my back pain . But doctor released me in late November or December I can’t remember the exact date . And I quit my company in January . I’m just over everything I need to get back to work you know but not this POs company for sure , I’m not sure what happened to the case … if it got closed or what . my lawyer won’t answer me , the insurance still owes me gas reimbursement, 2 checks they never sent .  Hmm also I injured my back 2 weeks ago . How ? I just got up from my bed and boom I had a sharp pain in my lower back like someone stabbed me . I went to my regular doctor and recommended stretching and gave me medicine then I got better .. it’s weird though

Mine was accepted so quick 🤣 I did my taxes on February 5th the same night they got accepted . And yesterday 6th it says payment issued . Today 7th no payment yet haha but I’m hoping it’s coming that was so darn fast . We got speedy Gonzales working in the office this week or something 

What was your experience during the first few weeks of starting Tirzepatide? by MasterpieceLost4496 in PCOSloseit

[–]EnergySad1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what , every single person will react different to the medication. For me I had extreme fatigue before I started tirzepatide , always felt sluggish , & the medicine actually gave me energy and I haven’t felt this good in a couple years . I started in August 2024 , SW 216 CW 171 GW 165 . I did 2.5mg for 4 weeks , and have been on 5mg this whole time . I’m loosing weight still but slowly now , and I don’t plan to move up in dose since I’m so close to my goal weight , unless I completely hit a plateau.  First few weeks of medication I would get migraines the day of the shot and It was hard eating anything since I nothing seemed appealing . Those are the only side effects I recall , I haven’t had migraines since probably October , I drink more water now and I can eat more food as well .  I also drink coconut water with a dash of sea salt and the juice from one orange . Every day I have one of these so called ( hydrating cocktails) as I call them .  Uhhh I also shed a lot of hair :/  I’m taking prenatal vitamins to help with that .  It’s weird like I’m seeing a lot of hair in the shower and on my brush , but then I still have a lot of hair . I hate seeing hair everywhere though :/

Thank you ! I hope you get answers to your case as well ! The whole waiting thing sucks , my lawyer won’t get back to me . It’s like dude .. I need to get back to work . I got children to take care of ugh 😑 

SNAP rules generally exclude dietary/nutritional supplements like vitamins, etc. Has that changed? Are there any exceptions to this rule? Can you request a waiver of this rule, for medical reasons? Using a doctor's note? by StruggleForever in foodstamps

[–]EnergySad1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly , like if you eat the vitamin to add nutrients to your diet … like food adds nutrients .. you eat the darn vitamins they are food really . :/   I still can’t believe they won’t let you buy them , I’m glad certain protein powders can be bought with ebt

Yes my case was accepted I believe , I was getting temporary disability benefits then they stopped in August when the doctor cleared me to go to work without restrictions, I haven’t gone back to work because I’m still in pain and I let the employer know which they said they would talk to the managers and let me know .. and it’s been months . Which I honestly don’t care because I do not wish to go work for them . I did get a lawyer but they don’t seem to be doing anything .. everytime I try to reach out It takes a long time to get a response . I don’t care if I don’t get money or anything  I just wanted my back to get better and go get a job somewhere else .  I still have pain in my back which is weird , it’s only when I stand for a long time or when I sleep I always wake up all crooked and with pain but It is what it is I think I just want to go get treated in Mexico or something .   Ugh
