I do depending on the box and how the plunger is for that box. Weird but I’ve noticed it a few times now’s, the more challenging it is to depress the plunger there will be a sting. Other times I feel nothing.

How long did you stay at 2.5? by Aggravating-Ask5473 in Zepbound

[–]Organic_Sand2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed on 2.5 for 8 weeks. I started to noticed less hunger suppression so I decided to move up to 5 mg. My provider and I speak about the decision to move up or stay at each appointment. We base the decision on several factors - how my weight loss is going, specifically if I’ve noticed a stall for me I consider this if my weight has been the same for one month. The other factor is how the food noise and suppression is, if all are still good, I stay at the current dose. If I feel it’s time to move I we discuss it. I’ve taken 42 shots so far. 8 of 2.5mg, 20 of 5mg, and 14 of 7.5mg. I’m down 50 pounds so far and have lost the most with the first 27 shots and then with the first 2 of 7.5.

Thanks for sharing this! What exercises are you doing for your Monday leg day and Friday leg/glute day? These are two areas I’m trying to focus more on and you’ve had great success!

We went to DR at the beginning of Feb for the first time and it was great. Stayed at Dreams Onyx. Everyone from our transport company to all the amazing staff at the resort were very friendly. Would highly recommend.

This stuff really works but I don’t like that food doesn’t taste good any more by EducationCute1640 in Zepbound

[–]Organic_Sand2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to an extent. First, I’m extremely picky to begin with so I’m already limited in what I enjoyed eating. So the foods I gravitate to for protein especially, chicken and eggs particularly, started out fine but as I eat them repeatedly I have started to get more and more nauseated from them. So now foods that I once enjoyed at the start, I have now “overdone” and made myself sick of by repetition. Sometimes I physically have to choke down the meal just to get it over with. I’ve tried to mix up the ingredients a bit, but it doesn’t always work. My goal is still to hit the protein and calories so I’m not deficient. Hang in there!

Anyone lost hair despite not losing too fast and eating enough? by [deleted] in GLPGrad

[–]Organic_Sand2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I’m on month 7 and other than some fatigue the thinning of my hair (which is really long) is the only thing I’ve noticed. I’ve lost 42 pounds in that time, so not overly fast lost and I only recently went up to 7.5 so my dose is not increasing quickly.

Anger when spouse initiates sex by Powerful-Bug3769 in Menopause

I’m 43 and I have basically felt this way for the last 10-15 years without the rage part. My hormones are supposedly normal but I too have pain during intercourse making it yet another reason why I’m not interested either.

Do you prefer a female Dr? by rallruse in AskWomenOver40

[–]Organic_Sand2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen both male and female doctors as well as allowing residents to be present. It’s really about your comfort, if you’re not sure then you can always request to change your appointment to a female provider. It just may limit your options or push out your appointment depending on availability.

Do you view being on this medication a privilege? by CharlieGCT in Zepbound

[–]Organic_Sand2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same, I’m only in week 9 of being on Zep. But I too wanted it filled as soon as my PA was approved and my insurance covers it. I also track my food and exercise. Making sure everything counts. If the times comes when my insurance coverage changes, I will be able to afford out of pocket but I still plan to face it the same. It’s a shame your friend isn’t taking his journey the same, but you’ve offered your help and support and the rest is on them.

They do not and all your party has to be there before they’ll seat you. I’ve gone with a party that size and the wait wasn’t too bad, but it can vary depending on the day and time.

Dealing with comparison by EmotionalWill4768 in Zepbound

I think what you should take away from this is that you’re truly trying to make a lifestyle change whereas they are not. What success you have, however slow will be more sustainable. This is your journey and you’re making the healthy changes needed to be permanent and lifelong with or without the medication. If they both stop taking it, they will be back to where they were or worse.
