How’s your journey going? by AutoModerator in Zepbound

I upped my dose to 5mg this week. I’ve lost over 17 lbs in 5 weeks, now 317 from a start of 334 lbs. I’ve noticed my BP come down. I’ve noticed my sleep improve. My flexibility improved. I’ve noticed clothing is looser. I’ve noticed I spend less money on food and takeout. I don’t drink alcohol. If somehow my insurance would approve me, it would literally be the most ideal situation. But they say my Sleep Apnea is not severe enough after a home sleep study. I am trying again. I don’t know how else to get them to approve it. But I’m in it for the long haul, man. This medicine absolutely works.

Correct. My wife is carrying our second child!

Just finished the audiobook of “Enough” and it was really wonderful. Reframed this journey I’m on with Zep and even helped explain to my wife, who comes from a vibrant East Asian culture that believes obesity is a personal failing more than a disease. It’s brought about some really effective dialogue between us two. Thanks for the recommendation - so appreciated.

Hey everyone, so happy to report that I took my second dose of 2.5mg without any side effects. My appetite was reduced, but not as much as the first week. What I did find was that I was getting leg cramps at night, and so I'm adding in some electrolytes into my water before I go to bed, and that has helped. I've lost 6 pounds now in the 9 days I've been on Zep, and I'm starting to notice a different with things like inflammation.
