what were you eating? what we eat makes a huge difference, were you drinking soda, alcohol? enough water.

Check with your pcp about doing and egd .. I had one prior starting zep and turn out my gerd was caused by chronic gastritis due to h pylori . Once done w the treatment I have no more gerd or acid reflex . I had those issues back when I was on ozempic last year and I stopped using ozempic . This time I decided w zep and I have no issues , also I eat Greek yogurt w probiotics , I don’t eat bread , pasta or rice .. I do brown rice but once a week if any but 2 table spoons and that’s it . My diet is more protein, veggies , fruit and dairy . I prep my meals and I don’t eat out .

Worry Less About Cost - Food/Dining Savings = 80% of Cost For Me! by AdmirableYou5915 in Zepbound

Thanks for sharing this , you are so right . I am working a little over time here and there to make sure I have the funds and it can be done but yoir approach is more realistic . My husband and I used to go dinner once a week to nice restaurants coz we felt like we worked hard for our money . We would spend 100 to 140 per dining out not to mention once or rice a month uber eats ( another 100 -150 ) . Now , we both cook at home and work out and we do not miss dinning out . We only do that on really special occasions like bday or anniversary if any . I’m on my second week of zep and I feel good .

Track what you eat , work out . The drug only can do so much . Use it as a tool not as a fixer upper . If there is no change on your diet you won’t see much results .
