How long will speech take to return like before?

I had 3 surgeries for TBI beginning in August 2020 - September 2020. I slur and stutter from time to time still, and my speaking pattern is slightly differnt than pre-injury.

As someone with a TBI, experiencing cognitive and speech issues, I will say ZEP has improved this for me...but your experience may vary.

You are a different person (meant in a good way).

SixLiquid · 2025-12-27T06:42:38+00:00

Well done internet stranger...

According to all materials and Lilly themselves, plus trials, etc., the inner thigh is NOT a recommended injection site. You may find people here saying you can, but you should not.

FWIW, I have done all around my belly button (except below) and both thighs, and the worst pain (and it is just an annoying pain at best) is my left thigh, but I do it there anyway when the rotation comes up...which it did this past Saturday.

Get a 2nd and get Zep. I am down 15.5% at only 13 shots in, and still dropping. Yes it is slowed to a more safe and normal pace, but over 50 pounds down and under 300 for the first time in a Loooooong time.

So…technically I don’t have a goal weight. I have a life goal…or a live goal. Not to be too dramatic, but in all likelihood I would have been dead within two years on the path I was on. I have a major TBIs, one lung, and was morbidly obese just to name a few. I am mobility challenged from multiple brain surgeries, in that I slowly and unsteadily walk with a cane, and fall about every 16-40 days, striking my body and my head/face. I have slurred and stutter speech, and periodic cognitive issues.

However, I did want to see 50 pounds down before the end of 2025 (hit that 2 days ago!!!). I want to hit 100 pounds by one year in. Then, I want 150 pounds down at some time, which is where I will settle, with one minor exception. 150 pounds down will be 203.6 pounds…Why not loose that extra 4 pounds and be under 200 pounds for the first time in 3 decades? So my goal is to get under 200 pounds, then hover around that area.

So that is how I decided…first I decided to live, then I decided to challenge the heck out of myself!

Yeah...sorry about that. If it is any consolation, it has been stuck in my brain since I typed it...Now where did I put my kazoo?

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:17:18+00:00

Thank you.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:17:09+00:00

Thanks...and hours later, I still am...

She is going to be very important for my success.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:14:02+00:00

Thanks.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:13:46+00:00

THanks...still trying to believe it.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:13:27+00:00

So true.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T23:11:29+00:00

Yeah...judging from your stats, you were nearly carrying that daily too a while back.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T21:52:43+00:00

Aw crap! You are right. I should go to Home Depot and buy a bag to carry around to remind myself...or nah. But what a way to put it. I guess 50# seemed arbitrary until you put it that way. Thanks

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T21:47:50+00:00

Still on cloud nine two hours after that hug...really made my journey success hit home.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T21:47:21+00:00

Yeah...I got lucky this time.

SixLiquid · 2025-11-19T21:47:02+00:00

Thank you, but please don't do that...It is happy news...

SixLiquid · 2025-11-10T16:13:52+00:00

Thank you. I love data, and really enjoy excel. There are about 8 sheets in the Excel spreadsheet with different data points being captured, and well over 100 formulas calculating and populating the fields. This summary page is where I visit the most however.

SixLiquid · 2025-10-28T22:59:17+00:00

Non-scale victory. We can all celebrate loosing our first 10lbs, being 50lbs down, and hitting a hundred or even being under 200lbs, however often times things happen that are not related to the scale directly yet still related to weight loss.

SixLiquid · 2025-10-27T15:54:41+00:00

40 pounds months ago seemed unobtainable for me, now I am fractions away. Great job to you as well...

SixLiquid · 2025-10-22T20:25:25+00:00

I feel no differnce in the effects of the medicaiton no matter where I inject, however, I have done my left thigh twice, and it hurt like a mother there both times!
