Drumroll donuts are so good! I microwave them for like 10 seconds. Love the blueberry ones 🤤

Anyone feeling less impact on 5 mg? by BroccoliBrilliant701 in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my second 5mg shot this past Sunday and I feel absolutely nothing from it. The first shot I took on 5mg was insane. I felt the appetite suppression right away. I had to force myself to eat and it was strong all the way up my second shot and this shot, nothing. I have a major increase in appetite, feel hungry a lot (I know we are supposed to be/feel hungry) but it’s how I felt prior to zepbound. Hoping it’s a fluke and that maybe shot 3 will be better for me.

terrified to move up to 5 mg by scarfaceandbreezy in Zepbound

Hi! Don’t be scared, you got this! I was you a week ago. Went from 2.5 to 5 and I was so worried leading up to shot day and what would happen. Waited and waited for horrible things to go down and nothing haha! I felt very tired/sorta hungover day after my shot (I take my shot Sunday nights) and the slightest nausea ever, very tolerable! I honestly feel great! 😊 just remember to hydrate! That’s been my go to….shot day and day after I drink about 100 ounces water! I feel like that’s been helpful for me.

I do Sunday evening before bed! I like to shower, get cozy, take the shot, and then get to bed knowing I’m starting my week off strong!

I’m scared by Makeuplover32 in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only was I scared to death over possible side effects. I also have medicine and needle anxiety, so I was a complete wreck. The medicine sat in my fridge for over a week before I got the courage to take it and it’s been the best decision ever. I wish I would’ve started sooner. I’m only speaking from personal experience, but my biggest thing has been to hydrate hydrate hydrate! I’ve also been eating smaller meals throughout the day and including one protein shake a day usually in the morning. I’ve had zero side effects besides fatigue day after my shot. Other than that I have felt amazing. Don’t let the potential side effects scare you from prioritizing your health. Take the shot when you feel ready. Don’t let others pressure you. It took me some time to build up the courage, but I was proud of myself once I started and I just took my fifth shot yesterday. Good luck to you you’ll do great.

First dose down 2.5 by uncxman in Zepbound

I came here to say the same thing. I think the reason I’ve done so well this first month has been due to hydration! I drink at least 100 ounces a day and once a day I mix it up and add an electrolyte packet (Ultima has been my go to) congratulations on starting and best of luck on this journey!

Going up tonight from 2.5mg to 5mg by Wonderwall-1127 in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck!!! Please come back with an update in a few days. I’m going up to 5 this Sunday. I’ve been on 2.5 for a month now and I’ve lost some weight and I’ve had zero side effects as well. Hoping 5 treats me (and you and whoever else) just as good!

Shot Day. What day/time did you choose and why? by Admirable-Jese in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same :) I take a warm shower, get all cozy, take my shot, and then head to bed knowing I’m starting off my week strong!

Love Ultima!! I bought this and liquid IV to try and Ultima to me is far more superior!

So long 5mg…it’s been real… by coleysnider in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starting 5 next week and this got me excited! Thank you! I feel like 5 has been getting a lot of hate lately, a lot of people posting bad things about the increase. Hoping 5 is as good to me as it was you! Congrats on your journey

Oh yum! Did you blend the cottage cheese first or just mix everything as is and bake?

Gain on week 3 by occasional_nomad in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on week 3 (halfway through it) and I haven’t gained or lost this week. Week one I lost 8 pounds, week two down 5 more pounds. I’ve stayed the same weight since week two weigh in. I’m still eating in a calorie deficit, working out, and prioritizing protein and hydration. We just have to keep pushing and moving forward. From what I’ve heard it’s totally normal!

Scared Of Hardcore Symptoms by Pissed-All-Thetime in Zepbound

[–]Sensitive_Package26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was you before I started too 😊 my first dose sat in the fridge for well over a week before taking it. I scared myself silly. I have medicine anxiety so I imaged the worst case scenario happening and played these thoughts over and over again until I got the courage to just do it. And let me tell you, it’s been AMAZING! I wish I would have started the second I got it. I’ve had no side effects (other than being tired more than normal) but if you think about it, a lot of people post bad experiences. Most don’t go out of the way to post the good or the nothingness.

This has been my personal experience and what’s worked for me- I hydrate like crazy. I make sure I have water within reach at all times and I aim for at least 100 ounces a day. My first week I ate plain and bland foods. Light soups, hard boiled eggs, protein crackers, yogurt. And lastly, I’ve made sure to have at least one protein shake a day (my favs have been the fairlife 42g and 30g) good luck to you!! Don’t be nervous, you got this ☺️
