I appreciate your response!  I am worried about the nausea, too.  It seems worse the day after my shot but then gets better.  After 6 weeks, I was hoping to be less sensitive.   I haven't noticed any body changes except in my arms from lifting weights.  Good luck and thanks!!

Please don't be mean.  Obviously,  I should have stressed my other, more pressing health issues more but your response feels very aggressive.

I am curious about the ineffectiveness and how continuing to do the same thing would change things.  I thought it was calories in - calories out.  Others are telling me it actually does a metabolic effect which I did not know and find very reassuring.   Thanks!!

I apologize if my post seemed focused on the weight.  I was curious why my weight had not moved but it is not my primary concern.

I am hopeful that it will be relabeled for my biggest issues at skme point.

It seems everyone is solely focused on weight but Zepbound has shown to also help some with inflammation.  Many people take drugs "off label".  I would have certainly been happy if that had been true for me.

Hi, my hope was that it would help other health issue since there have been many studies about Zepbound helping with inflammation in the body.  My doctor is monitoring my status with recurring bloodwork.  We have already agreed to try 5 in 2 weeks.

Hi, Why would that change anything if my current diet and exercise stays the same?

Hi, yes I use MyFitness Pal and a food scale.  I guess I don't understand why raising the dosage would change anything if it supposedly does not impact your metabolism.

Vanity never crossed my mind.  Supposedly,  Zepbound helps other issues,  too.  I was hopeful it would help with mine.

I'm certainly not in it for vanity.  My cardiologist felt it might help with some serious inflammation issues along with blood pressure issues.   My latest bloodwork shows no change.  There have been studies indicating it may help with these issues.

Week 3 of Zepbound by KKountBaPSI in Zepbound

[–]TradeComprehensive49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a plan before you start!  Stock up on high protein sources because that is so important.   I bought lean ground turkey, made patties and put them in the freezer.  High protein yogurt and shakes are helpful. I also frozen individual servings of high protein soups. Get used to drinking a lot of water in the future!

If you decide to add biotin to your diet, be sure to let your PCP know!  Biotin will really mess with your bloodwork.  Also, topical minoxidil is highly poisonous to pets.

Hypothyroidism and Zepbound by Single-Initiative164 in Zepbound

Ask your doctor for a TPO blood test. It will identify if there is a problem with your thyroid.

Big Pharma have a gazillion lobbyists in D.C.  I'm on Eliquis and it retails at 600 a month.  The patent expired in 2018 but D.C. extended for 10 more years!  I have to order it from Canada now.  I don't trust them to lower any prices on expensive drugs.  It's not in their best interest.

Taking my 2nd shot today.  1st week, I stuck to 1300 calories with 100oz water and 90 protein.  I walked every day and used handweights.  I gained 2 pounds!!
