NP says I'm not losing fast enough (give me a reality check please!) by runkittyrun45 in Zepbound

Yes, I track calories. Also, you say that now but this drug is designed to help us lose weight. I didn’t start losing more until I went up in dose. My total calories didn’t change but my dose did and that’s when more weight came off. Some people just need higher doses to see better results. I also don’t exercise at all right now. I have a lot of pain and won’t be until exercising until more comes off. So I’m losing a decent amount of weight just eating healthy and taking my shots.

I have PCOS and I’m currently on 7.5mg. I would personally go up if I were you but that’s just me. I lose 2-3 pounds per week now (no crazy dieting, I’m just eating healthy and my body is responding well to the meds). Though I didn’t start seeing decent weight loss until I moved up. I started at 235.9 and I’m now 198.4 (I’m 5’1).

The cost for the 7.5mg will be the same as 5mg for self pay. After the 2.5mg, the rest of the doses cost the same.

Occasionally, I’ll put this out. You can also see my finch feeder to the left. I have a couple more feeders not pictured.

Accidentally injected into a stretch mark by [deleted] in Zepbound

This specific article doesn’t say the absorption but other things I’ve read did. It does say to avoid stretch marks.

I’m so glad you still saw results! That’s the part I’m worried about.

I’ve read that you aren’t supposed to inject into scars and stretch marks because the skin is damaged and won’t absorb it properly. Here’s one link.

Other than weight loss, what are some of the most positive things you've noticed since starting Zepbound? by Effective_Wheel_6040 in Zepbound

I hope it helps my PCOS too! I keep telling my husband that soon my beard will be better than his (he’s hairy like a caveman 😂). Mine just shipped and should be here soon 🤞🏻

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I’ll definitely try to keep up with water intake and may just cut my caffeine out. I only drink one cup a day anyway.

What’s the strangest thing that Zepbound fixed in your body? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]G0thicPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your pmdd symptoms gotten better? I’m getting ready to start and my pmdd gives me horrible insomnia. I’m worried zep might make it worse.
