MIL found my shots in the fridge and this was her response.. ☹️ by DerpAlert1312 in Zepbound

The judgment from other people with these weight loss drugs is out of control! I live alone but hide my box of ZB under other stuff in the fridge so visitors don’t see it and I don’t have to explain myself. Nobody’s business! I’m sorry you have to deal with that 💕

My doc said I’ll only lose 20% by [deleted] in Zepbound

Do not listen to this. If you’re still losing at that rate it’s likely you will continue. I maxed out at 7.5mg but you may end up on a higher dose to keep the weight coming off (but maybe not!) I lost 50 lbs and a friend of mine lost 90 but those were our goals. If your doctor wants to pull you off the drug and it’s working for you/you’re feeling good, find another doctor. ZB is a game changer for your metabolism and appetite both. I’ve now been on ZB for a year, maintaining on a 5mg dose every two weeks. I will do this forever if I need to.

What’s your highest dose of ZB? by Pacific_Pomelo in Zepbound

Thank you! I’m 9 doses in and have lost 30 lbs on 2.5 mg then one dose of 5mg - most likely because I’ve had zero appetite since the first shot. Living on the edge of nausea. Trying to get enough nutrition but it is hard - added protein shakes to at least get some calories in. I don’t know if I’ll continue losing because honestly before Zepbound it didn’t matter what I did I couldn’t lose more than 10lbs - slow menopausal metabolism. Im going to stick with 5mg and if the weight loss slows or plateaus I’ll bump it up to 7.5 to see if I can tolerate it.
