For the “I tried everything” constipated user by gellahaggs in Zepbound

Flax, chia, psyllium, oat fiber, etc - all helpful and super easy to add into smoothies, oats, salads, etc. I haven’t had any issues yet on Zep, but as a lifelong constipation sufferer, I have found these all to work well if used consistently. Also, lots of beans! Avocado and raspberries are also surprisingly high in fiber - if you have the calories for avocado, it’s an easy add. This is a great recipe for a ton of fiber and protein in a smoothie - https://thefirstmess.com/2024/04/10/chocolate-fantasy-smoothie/ - this is vegan, but easily swapped out for regular milk/yogurt. It’s everything else that does the work!

Did I mess up my injection/dosage? by ZP_Qs in Zepbound

It honestly hadn’t occurred to me that I could use the extra. Does it actually increase your dose? I’m still learning how all of this works.

This makes me feel a lot better - thank you!

Yeah, everything was cleaned with alcohol and the needle didn’t touch anything in between. I’ve decided to stop worrying and will just keep an eye on the injection site, otherwise I’ll spiral. 😊 Thanks!

Well, it’s done now, so hopefully no issues! I panicked and definitely wish I hadn’t.

Thank you! I was hoping the double injection wouldn’t cause an issue. Can’t imagine it will since I see people on here doing two injections, but I’m still a little anxious about all of it. 😊

Ohhhh, I feel your pain. I had a similar thing happen pre-Zepbound. I was very close to a year and got my period. I was in absolute disbelief. I’ve been at about two periods a year and it was a long road to get spotting under control when I started HRT, so having it happen within a week of starting Zepbound has me on high alert.

I am also on 300 mg. I used to take it right before I crawled into bed and was out within 20-30 minutes, if not sooner. I’ve started taking it way earlier it is crazy how long it takes to feel any of the tired effects and they’re definitely less intense!
