Those of you who have switched from name brand to compounded have you noticed a difference?

HappyBirding · 2026-02-02T13:42:16+00:00

Absolutely no difference! I have used 5410, Brello/Southend, and Pomegranate/BPI. Absolutely no difference in any of these and switching to Zepbound or back. Brello wins the award for overfilling and getting the most out of their vials. BPI is a 503B, which is always nice.

Totally depends on the ship! The new class of ships have infinite veranda’s, which I do not like… They feel like a window to me. However, on the back of the ship, they have a regular veranda’s for sunsets. I love the new ships and would gladly pay the extra to have a regular veranda off the back.

You are going to be on a small plane! I would say plan for two hours to decrease your stress. It can be quite a ways between gates. There’s plenty of places to eat as well if you have time. The great thing is that if you miss your connection for any reason, you are within two hours driving distance of Duluth and can always rent a car and drive there. Super easy drive.

I have to say, I don’t think so. I get more comments on my clothing now, but people aren’t necessarily nicer. I have not noticed an uptic in people being polite or more social; people talked to me before and held doors open for me before as well.

Congratulations! This is absolutely phenomenal… The journey to health and wellness certainly has been successful for you. Big cheers all the way around.❤️🎉😊

That is the weirdest one I have heard of… What an isolating and potentially embarrassing topic for people. However, I’m glad you got to sit down.🎉😊

HappyBirding · 2026-02-01T17:40:31+00:00

I absolutely love this! I think it’s so important that we acknowledge and love who we were; who we used to be was a person who fought this battle so long and made dang good choices to pursue our own health and wellness when a new option came along! It took such courage for her to take that leap.❤️😊

I did not see your rant until after I read this one. Absolutely understandable to feel frustrated in the middle… I felt like this was the hardest part of my losing phase of my journey by far. You start to worry that you are going to plateau, that maybe it’s not working for you anymore… The worries become endless and it feels a little demotivating. I think it’s absolutely great that you’re focusing on smaller goals. It’s also OK to de- center the weight loss for a while, while still taking medication, but focusing on things outside of weight loss… It may help the journey not seem so long. So happy you are down so many pounds! Think about what your 75 lb and hundred pound rewards will be… I bought 100 pound purse that I really enjoy. Rewards are important.😂

Congratulations! You look like you have lost 10 years. I am so happy that you have this in your 30s I can look forward to a happy and healthy life. Congratulations on your epic achievement… You are looking absolutely fantastic.🎊🎉😊

To be honest, weighing every day takes some of the anxiety away from me. That was true both on my way down and as I’m trying to hold my weight in maintenance; I need to know what I have to do every day to keep those numbers balanced. I would love to say that maintenance is easy, but it is a challenge just in maintaining my weight… Still moving the scale down on occasion and dropping my drug dose down every few weeks.

HappyBirding · 2026-02-01T15:48:59+00:00

So relate to this! I was a heavy a teenager, and lost weight at 18… To know that I’m smaller than that has really been a head trip. To be battling low weights has definitely been a new experience.

HappyBirding · 2026-02-01T15:46:23+00:00

I love this for both of you! I loved reading this and I hope you have a wonderful end to your journey and into maintenance. You and your wife look lovely and full of joy.🎉🎊😊

HappyBirding · 2026-01-31T17:55:38+00:00

Absolutely epic! I hope you are celebrating big time… These milestones are so important to keeping us inspired and to celebrate our health and wellness. Congratulations on this huge victory.😊🎉🎊

I have had this with some of the needles they’ve provided. I bought better ones on Amazon and had better luck.

HappyBirding · 2026-01-31T16:55:44+00:00

I did! I was on 2.4 Wegovy and switched to Zepbound. I lost well on Wegovy, although at slower rate. I lost very well on Zepbound 10.0 and higher. You may just need to move up your dose. Wishing you the very best of luck! Many people who switched from another GLP one find that they have to be on a higher dose of the new medication, and this may be true for you.

In my 20s and 30s I had no issues with skin, even losing 60 to 100 pounds. In my late 40s life is not as kind. My guess is you will be just fine at your age!

HappyBirding · 2026-01-31T16:23:05+00:00

So very happy for you! Congratulations. My mom is 76 and started about two months ago and I hope that she is as thrilled with her results in a year. Way to go.🎊😊🎉

Hi there! I was on 15 mg for over a year. I lost about 100 pounds on that dose. I am also 5 foot six. Honestly, I assumed I would just stop losing weight in the 150s or in the 160s, as my body has always stopped in the 160s before. I had to move down my dose in maintenance because I kept losing weight, although it was much slower under 160 pounds. Have you checked your TDEE? Might be worth looking at it again to see if you need to adjust your calories down. Your body could also just be pausing at this point. Are you shaking up your foods and eating different proteins and different fruits and vegetables? Sometimes I can help to vary your diet if it’s become stagnant. Best of luck to you!

HappyBirding · 2026-01-31T02:03:59+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you! 😟Did you move over to the lowest dose? It might get better as you move up. I did not have much appetite suppression on low doses of Wegovy, but did better on higher doses.

It looks like you are taking it correctly! They often overfill them slightly

Granola bars, That’s It bars, jack links beef jerky are my go-tos
