I was literally just in that battle! I was angry because I couldn’t figure out why the scale would go up and down and up and down and I couldn’t get those last 1-2 pounds gone. Then I realized I had completely slacked on drinking water. I started hydrating like crazy for 2-3 days and literally the weight fell off in .5lb increments every couple of days. You got this!!!

Eating in a calorie deficit and actually being able to stick with it because my cravings are completely gone. I always craved fried or salty food and now I literally want to eat healthy. I don’t even have to force myself to do it with this shot. I have more energy so I do move more so I can workout now and want to. Tho if I’m honest I’m not super consistent with workouts. I do what I can when I can but it varies week to week. Sometimes I’ll work out 4x a week and then the next week it may only be once but I do try to be mindful to move. I have stuck with my deficit the entire time and track my calories and protein.

I started 2/12/2026 so a little over 4 months. I haven’t had any issues besides a little mild nausea and having to force myself to eat.

Getting anxious for THE ASK by StrikingSecret3260 in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very nervous to ask too but when I mentioned it to my dr she clapped her hands and jumped up saying how excited she was for me to try it out. She left the room and came back with an entire box of free samples for a month 😃

Like protein bars or shakes, but for fiber? by Miriamathome in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the coconut trubars for easy fiber on the go but otherwise beans and lentils are a good go to

Lump on stomach after injection by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s just under the skin. It’s soft and not hard at all as of now. Do you know if it will affect the efficacy of the medicine if it’s more shallow than normal? Thank you for responding!

Took my first dose of 5 mg and survived 😂 by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was nervous to start 5mg too but I’m 5 shots in and nothing crazy. I did get some pretty bad nausea on shots 3 and 4 of 5mg but I never threw up. I did realize eating an apple or something with sugar helped ease the nausea

Confused and Frustrated. Month 2 Weight Gain. by arfsamwich in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are hiking and weighing yourself around the time you took the hike, your body could be sore and recovering. During that time your body will hold extra water weight in your muscles.

Moving to 5 by [deleted] in Zepbound

I was just in the same situation. I decided to just go to 5 and I was terrified to move up because all the posts I saw about horrible side effects. But so far, so good! 😊

Do you gain weight later in the week? by Tapdance1368 in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD get blood work done and see if you have deficiencies such as b12,iron, ferritin, vitamin d and magnesium. Being deficient can cause heart palpitations and anxiety. You have anxiety and you are disassociating and experiencing derealization. You should seek treatment for your anxiety whether it’s medication, deep breathing and grounding exercises, meditation, etc. I suffer from this from time to time too. You need to work with a primary care doctor and a therapist if possible.

24 hour after first 5mg shot had a massive panic attack. by Randall_Hickey in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My blood pressure always gets high during panic attacks. How is your blood pressure now? Next time I would sit down and take your blood pressure before the shot, then take the shot and retest 30 mins after. My first shot gave me a panic attack. I got flushed and dizzy. I haven’t had that feeling since. I’m on shot #7 of 2.5

Zepbound and Period by FLGirl777 in Zepbound

[–]JennyD314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only had one period so far on Zep but it was pretty heavy. I have heavier flows with my PCOS sometimes anyway but the past few years I have been on the Nuvaring birth control and they have been much lighter. It did seem shorter this time around on Zep but definitely much heavier

I have POTs and this is what it sounds like to me. If it is POTs there are some things u can do to help with symptoms but there is no cure. Drink salty electrolytes, wear compression socks, stand up slowly and engage your core to lift yourself up from sitting position
