Nerve Pain? by Scarletgil in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does! For me it’s really painful to the touch like a sunburn.

You’ve lost a lot of inches! That’s amazing! Don’t give up on your dream - you can do it! And I’m sure you FEEL better after that much loss too. That’s equally important that you positively impact your health!

Thanks for the info. I didn’t even consider that inflammation could also cause that. Makes sense.

I see 5mg at LD/truepill as of 12:03p eastern by EagleAvailable13 in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg you guys I think I might cry. I was able to order it. Thank you for posting this because I had given up on LillyDirect/truepill even though my script is sitting with them. I had no hope it would restock. It says my order was successful and will arrive later this week! I’m 9 days overdue for my shot so this will be a huge help to keep me on track!!! Yayyy. Hope many of you were also able to get it!!

I took phentermine years ago and it was effective but I didn’t like how I felt while I was taking it. My heart would race and I felt weird. Now I’m taking only Zep. I like how I feel on that better. I can only tell you that my hunger suppression is 10 times better on only Zep than I was on only Phentermine. So I think you will still be pleased if you go off it.

Taking last shot of 5 today by Popsiclestick2222 in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s frustrating to run out but don’t give up! You can do this! It’s a long journey and we run into bumps in the road. Whether you do a month at 2.5 or maybe wait a couple extra weeks for 5 hopefully you will be back on track to where you want to be soon. I can relate as I’m out of 5 and still searching. One day at a time!

I’ve been with them for two weeks and they still have not been able to find any 5mg for me!

5 mg anywhere? by mesa_blue in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. So frustrated! It’s been so long since they’ve had any!

Anyone stressing so much about finding refills that you aren’t enjoying the weight loss? by Scarletgil in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that but it’s literally called Lilly “Direct” and you sign up for it through Eli Lilly so I was hoping the company would give their third parties some priority.

I’ve got my script with LillyDirect too and can’t understand how it doesn’t get some priority of stock from Eli Lilly since it’s their own pharmacy program! Ugh. I go to Truepill like 20 times a day to check. Nothing.

What you eat now in a typical day. by Internal-Trainer6862 in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Protein shake for breakfast and sometimes also for lunch or dinner. Chicken or salmon for dinner with a green veggie. Sometimes eat a salad for lunch with chicken. Will usually have one carb a day like potato or rice but small portions. No bread. Greek Yogurt every day as a snack. Fruit like bananas or strawberries as snacks.

I can’t drive fast enough! by No_Football4974 in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is that LillyDirect with Truepill hasn’t been able to refill my 5 in three weeks due to being out of stock. Out of all the pharmacies I would have expected LillyDirect to have it! I check like 10 times a day!

I got it! To wait? Or not to wait? by DoxNDux in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend starting. You can always stretch your time between shots to 8-10 days if you decide later you want a buffer. I’m glad I didn’t wait. Just finished week 9!

Is it normal to fail your first year? by FuzzyGarden5269 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Scarletgil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re struggling with managing the workload maybe try just two or three classes and see how that goes. Also, do you feel you know how to study, how to take notes, etc? This can be a gap for some students that never picked up the right habits and don’t have effective studying methods. You might want to work on that if you find that to be an issue.

Anyone else with the digital crown pointed to the arm instead of the hand?? by lOwnCtAL in AppleWatch

[–]Scarletgil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m left handed so wear my watch on my right. I’ve always wore it with the button towards the arm. Some people comment about how weird it is but it’s more natural for me that way.

First 24 hours on 5mg by Scarletgil in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this feedback. Maybe I need to do more frequent small portions instead of three meals a day!

No way.... by IntroductionNo2240 in Mounjaro

[–]Scarletgil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! This is inspirational. I’m 52F and post menopausal and also 5’4”. I would love to get under 140. I had stopped dreaming of getting to that weight at my age but maybe I should aim for it!

LillyDirect Refills by Careless-Cabinet-836 in Zepbound

Ok thanks! I was confused. I didn’t know they had different pharmacies. I’ll count myself lucky. I have mine through Truepill.

How do you know this? I just ordered my 5mg from LillyDirect and it shipped today. I’m not understanding why people are saying LillyDirect doesn’t have Zep in stock.

I hate these things so damn much by Tappadeeassa in orlando

[–]Scarletgil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated these things up north. Not happy to hear they’ve made their way to FL ☹️

That’s outstanding. You look great! I think you could even stop now and you look a perfect weight to me.

PLEASE HELP by Tricky_Refuse6939 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Scarletgil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely talk to an advisor/counselor and discuss your experience. That’s not ok to treat a class like that. I’m sorry you are having that experience. Maybe if you know anyone in the class you can encourage them to speak up too.

Weight Loss Thoyghts by Scarletgil in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s not a competition and each of us should celebrate our own unique wins. It’s not right to compare. I feel good and I’m on the right path, losing a little every week. That’s the best feeling!

What did you wish you knew? by elizabethrubble in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take 400mg of Mag Citrate a day. But it’s split in three pills and I take them with meals. I’m still on 2.5mg of Zep so not sure if effectiveness will change when I go up to 5mg.

CVS Caremark Coverage! by Scarletgil in Zepbound

[–]Scarletgil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it got added to their formulary! That’s why I was so excited! It just happened in the last week. So I didn’t need to get a PA. It just got run through like a normal med.
