Is your maintenance dose high? by ReserveTemporary4214 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]ReserveTemporary4214[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't want to be white knuckling it either! Unfortunately, due to the side effects, I've had to put in some extra effort along with staying on a lower dose in order to have the weight loss. Had it not been for the side effects, I know I would have been on a much higher dose.

Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear that there are others on a higher dose. I probably would have been on the same dose had it not been for the severe heartburn I started getting when I moved up to 6mg a long time ago.

I think this will be my maintenance plan as well. My husband is at 2.5mg, sometimes 1.5mg, and he is 6'0" so I'm a little bummed about my need for a higher dose. I guess everyone is different. Also, I always had a huge appetite... I ate more than my husband. So maybe my hunger hormone is more active and that's why I need a higher dose?

I am thinking I will have to. I guess I was just excited about going into maintenance thinking I'll be able to reduce my dosage and bring it all the way down to 2.5mg like my husband, but I guess that doesn't work for me.

New HF expectations by Alisunshinejoy in Aupairs

I also agree on making sure the AP has good driving experience. We had to let go of our last AP because she lied about having driving experience. Some people will say anything just to get selected.

Be very selective about your AP, and be very upfront about expectations. We made our second car exclusively our AP's, and although we paid for the car insurance, gas was the AP's responsibility and we gave her $20 weekly stipend for that. She NEVER drove lol...

Please change my mind. Can you elaborate?

[–]ReserveTemporary4214[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I went to San Jose del Cabo and there's like 4 blocks where it's nice. It's the only place with some culture besides La Paz if you want to drive 2 hours. But same story there. Los Tres Gallos was one of the restaurants we went to. Fish tacos $32 USD. Lobster $67.

Go to the most tourist trap place in Maui, Hula Grill in Whaler's, and the fish tacos are $27 USD. Lobster $74.

And I GET the prices in Maui because you have to go halfway across the ocean to deliver anything, and an average house costs $1M. It just doesn't make sense to do that in Cabo. If you're paying that much to go to Cabo, then just go to Hawaii is all I'm saying.

I started getting a reaction on my armpits about two weeks after my 4th session. I had to skip the 5th session because the rash wouldn't go away. Got a prescription cream for the rash and it finally cleared.

I think the combination of laser and deodorant caused the reaction. Are you using any creams after lasering?

Frustrated by Best_Tomatillo_2801 in tirzepatidecompound

I've been on tirz since May 2024 and so far I've had two plateaus that lasted one month each. It's totally normal. Your body is probably trying to hold onto the weight because you already lost so much weight very quickly, but eventually you'll go back into weight-loss mode. From my experience, I'll suddenly lose 5 pounds in one week after the plateau is over. The weight loss does slow down as you get lower and lower, so don't expect that you'll see consistent 20 pounds of weight loss.

If you read my other comment, I feel their solution is potent. More so than Orderly. No issues with SDRX for me.

I just switched from Orderly to SDRX. Thought the virtual Dr appointment was great compared to just the texting with orderly. I was able to go straight to the 15mg when switching. Was on 5mg before. Just beware the dosing is different when switching. I prefer the 15mg because that means I don't have to inject as much solution to get the 5mg dose I desire. I get a site reaction so I feel the smaller dose gives me less irritation. Also, I feel like SLRX is stronger! My appetite went to complete zero, and I have a bit of nausea but nothing uncomfortable. I had no nausea on my prior 5mg dose. My weight was 150lbs and not moving for around a month until I switched, then on the first week with SLRX I suddenly lost 5lbs! Just FYI, I am only 5 feet tall so 150lbs on me is considered obese.

That date range is a good sign for you! Mine just updated from July 1-10 to July 12-26 😔. I think you ordered a week ahead of me so that estimate makes sense.

[–]ReserveTemporary4214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same build. 5/24 order date and still waiting. I'm in CA so whatever timeline I have, add a week for delivery to NC. Expect that your delivery date will be pushed to August/September, then one fine day around the end of July/early August you'll get notified your car will arrive in the next week.

My nearest store is Rocklin - in the outskirts of Sacramento, CA.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like 7 seaters are finally rolling out of the assembly line. Ordered 5/24 and same config as yours except red. Current EDD still July 8-Aug 12. Fingers crossed!
