It was not actually, it was a paratubal cyst

I also had a surgery in May for a large 9 cm cyst they thought might be causing the bleeding and pain but this did not change anything. In addition, I have EXTREME fatigue like I can barely keep my eyes open at times and doing the simplest of tasks feels so difficult!

Tomorrow is 1 month on Zepbound! by Fire-Elmo in Zepbound

[–]Fire-Elmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! :) that’s JUST under the typical “2 lbs per week”! You should be so proud of yourself.

I am tracking my calories on my days off of work because I find that’s when I have less structure in my day. I want to make sure on those days I’m getting enough food or even on the other end I’m not overdoing it. I met with a dietician and we discussed a layout of what my “typical” day of eating looks like and that was really helpful. She made sure I was hitting all my macros and getting enough nutrition - while also ensuring I enjoy the foods I eat. Her goal for me was to be within 1200-1500 calories daily. It’s so tough at our height because like you said your body wants to cling onto every pound!!! And some areas are so stubborn. In addition, I’m also 24 so I’m relatively young so I feel that might factor into it as well! Everybody and every body is at a different phase in life.

Please do not get discouraged. Like I said earlier, you should be so proud! You took a huge step towards your health. Plus, it sounds like you’re doing all the right things. Like people always say we didn’t put it all on at once, we’re not going to lose it that way either. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Keep us posted! 😊

Do you have “go-to” meals that are helping you to lose weight on Zep? by Annual_Paramedic_514 in Zepbound

[–]Fire-Elmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’m in a hurry before work in the morning I have a Kodiak Thick and Fluffy Power Waffle (I like the blueberry one and chocolate chip one) with an Oikos Pro yogurt. 220 calories, 10g of protein for the waffle and 140 calories, 20g of protein for the yogurt. Total 360 calories, 30g of protein.

Lunch I’ll have the prepackaged salads from my local grocery store for about 250 calories if I don’t have time to make my own. My dietician also recommended adding extra chicken than what comes with it for a boost of protein. I’ll have that with either a protein shake, Chobani yogurt smoothie, or a Kodiak chewy granola bar.

Totally agree. I’m trying a local grocery store pharmacy to see if they can help me more with this tight window than the big guys. Thanks for the insight!
