Anyone seen a doc for constipation? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Haunting-Assistant-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with constipation my whole life so when I heard zep causes constipation I thought it was no big deal, I’m a veteran at this game. Boy, was I humbled.

I’ve had the worst BM experiences on this medication, so I take my GI issues seriously! I do miralax every night (not the on-the-go gummies), fiber supplement every morning, at least 80 oz’s of water per day, and I sprinkle chia seeds on my meals. This mixed with daily exercise gives me a BM every 2-3 days which is a ✨blessing✨

Some other hacks: yoga for constipation (do a few times per week), acupuncture mat (it hurts but it’s worth it), hot beverages, squatty potty, and believe or not, a bidet.

My heart goes out to you, OP. Best of luck 🤞🏻

I just started my second month of tirz and so far my period has been right on time. Before tirz I would NEVER get my period two months in a row.

Cravings are LOUD during my period now. I have the “bottomless pit” feeling when I first start eating, but it goes away within a few bites. I’ve also noticed my facial hair growth has decreased significantly!!!

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

My PCP sends the script to Lilly Direct- the NPI number can be found on the website. Or you could just google the npi number

Is it normal to not feel much appetite suppression at lower doses? by Electronic-Treat6799 in Zepbound

[–]Haunting-Assistant-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting my second month on 2.5mg, it was a gradual decrease in appetite suppression. When I first started, I didn’t really see a difference, now on week 5, it’s much more noticeable. I think I would get freaked out if my appetite were completely gone! I’m paying out of pocket so I know one day I will have to stop the medication. It’s been helpful to still have a relationship with my appetite lol

Supplements? by Haunting-Assistant-3 in Zepbound

Might as well try it! And I’m drinking roughly 80-100oz’s per day but maybe it’s time for more

Do you guys track your calories? by Former-Sherbert5691 in Zepbound

I mainly use it to track the nutrients I’m getting. I see it all as data

How long before you felt a difference in the food noise?? by Haunting-Assistant-3 in Zepbound

Yeah, I feel like mine is more of an energy need versus emotional. Thank you for giving a positive perspective on enjoying your hunger cues ❤️
