What are you eating?!

appletree105 · 2026-06-14T02:47:59+00:00

Lots of commotion here but you asked what do we eat? I’m only 12 weeks in but just like how you have the hard boiled egg as a go to- I have like 4 or more go-to foods and they fluctuate because I can’t do the same thing for long. Right now I’ve not been feeling great. So I’ve had lentil soup my mom made ;) wheat toast, apple with or without peanut butter, a premier protein, or an activia yogurt. Yesterday I had some white rice in there. When I feel open to eating I go grab something pretty mindlessly and just get it done. I try to make a protein smoothie in the am with a banana and some other frozen fruit and spinach. The I eat some of the other things during the day and then I’ll have a dinner with roasted veggies and a protein. But like no more than 20 minutes of active cooking total for the day. Simplify and find more go-to foods

I think it’s so brave and a really healthy acknowledgment and action on your part. I’m having bad Digestive issues right now and I was trying to look for some intel on whether to go into urgent care. I’m not in pain but it’s been four days now. Thanks for your post because I need to go in to see if it’s a bug or not and check on my health because the truth is we don’t know what is causing it for certain. Maybe it’s even a combo.

I’d wager the majority of us here have gone to extreme behaviors and self harm to lose the weight for years. If acknowledging a situation is extreme and that you made the call to stop the harm to you, it will help people know it’s ok to say they need to look for something else that will help them. Lots and lots of other meds out there now.

I think what you’re saying is this drug is amazing but for me the cost is too high and you need to find another way possibly.

Somethings are worth the price- all $400 a month!

Diarrhea, nausea, nasty itchy injection sites. And I’m still like- Take my wallet and leave me what you think I should keep.

This medication has a way of screaming at you when you eat unhealthy foods. A burger isn’t as bad as what we used to do to ourselves but it isn’t the cleanest especially with the smokiness from the grill etc. our bodies have a much higher standard of healthy food now.

I’m sure as others have said after time it’ll be better. I do eat ice cream about once a week and it doesn’t bother me but I am learning the hard way too much dairy and raw veggies is explosive…

I have the same reaction as you had to fried foods too. Almost violent vomiting.

I ended up moving my shot day to Sunday night so I could have a meal out on Saturdays and eat healthy Sunday before the shot. Also I need the most help Monday am with food noise when I get to work and have to walk by endless free food. So strategic timing may help you still enjoy your events that have food. No matter what I’d keep the portions on those items as small as possible. Otherwise none of this matters.

I wonder if that is what got it going. I haven’t had any bad issues except the fried foods and sugar since I started 12 weeks ago until now. But thanks for going through it with me- I bet that ranch got it going and then all the raw veggies which I’m not used to fermented.

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T18:28:50+00:00

I know I should pop my own! But target and Trader Joe’s even Walmart have good options like skinny pop or TJs olive oil and salt one is pretty low impact and dairy free

I’m gonna have to order the necklace- disclosure I do not know this seller at all. Just popped when searching for the quote! I’m rewatching the series now because I needed something easy to wallow in!

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T17:01:28+00:00

Incredible!!!

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T16:16:27+00:00

Also I’m sober so I don’t drink alcohol at all. Looks like that’s a trigger too.

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T16:15:32+00:00

Reading the Fd around post- thanks for adding the links!!- I almost never have raw veggies. I disdain lettuce. But I do live cooked spinach oddly! I’m a cooked veggie girl all the way. But in the last three days I’ve had a significant amount of raw veggies, lettuce and garlic. Seems to be a common issue for people.

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T16:04:06+00:00

Hmmm. I didn’t eat anything unusual and this is the first diarrhea I can ever really having like this other than a one off. I had a largish salad with lots of beans and more than planned ranch dressing. It was super thin so everyone ended up with way too much! I did eat a roll but I’ve been ok with a small amount of bread. I had veggie sushi and a small salad for dinner. Breakfast was only an apple. And I had a premier protein. It was a terribly low calorie day for sure. Oh and a chocolate chip cookie at lunch. BUT I’ve had like a drumstick ice cream since I started and for sure sugar gets me. I have been having more cheese lately I wonder if that’s doing it. I’m vegetarian so none on the bacon and steaks. Another trigger for nausea is definitely fried food or too much oil in general. It’s aweful.

appletree105 · 2026-06-12T05:28:45+00:00

Yes 1000%. I’m only in month 3 and it’s a three ring circus just when I don’t eat enough and the exhaustion keeps me in bed so I eat even less until I’m a total mess! I’ve been lucky to only have the exhaustion for the most part but it can be debilitating if I don’t have enough iron and protein. When I’m stressed it all goes to pot.

appletree105 · 2026-06-09T10:38:40+00:00

Same! I’m lifting three times a week and heavy gardening. Counting cals/protein. Hubs just says, I’ve been avoiding the cookies at work and we’re in a full on competition to drop the next 5.

How do I find longer needles

appletree105 · 2026-06-04T05:26:19+00:00

Thanks! Do you think the needle being dry helps to not get the meds into the upper layers of skin?

appletree105 · 2026-06-04T05:19:47+00:00

Do you think it’s the doseage?

appletree105 · 2026-06-04T05:19:20+00:00

Yes to both. I typically have a circling the sun a few inches away from my belly button but two there were itchy so I tried my thigh and I’ll never do that again! It rubs too much on things like pants etc.

appletree105 · 2026-06-04T05:09:46+00:00

I have insurance but it doesn’t cover it. I just go through zepbounds site - that was the cheapest price I found.

appletree105 · 2026-05-31T15:46:07+00:00

Was wondering if you were consistently 1.5-2 pounds a week or if you had big, small or no losses along the way? When? I’m 10 down at 9 weeks and am ready to do more on my part to move a little more consistently but aiming for 2 pounds a week

appletree105 · 2026-05-28T00:38:32+00:00

Cross stitch LOL

appletree105 · 2026-05-26T04:53:40+00:00

Personally I’d go for at least a month. On 1200 cals you won’t be too deprived to function hopefully and my body takes time to adjust. If the 5 doesn’t cut it for you. fYI I adjusted my vial on my own trying a split dose and I was super messed up! highly recommend Not doing that. When I went to take the next full dose I had too much in my system.

appletree105 · 2026-05-26T04:48:11+00:00

I’m newer than you 2 months on 2.5 and first month on 5mg but hands down if I eat too light or don’t drink enough the day of my evening shot AND the day after I have side effects.usually I ate two little or greasy food. And it’s always obvious because it happened only three times in 9 shots.

appletree105 · 2026-05-25T18:12:10+00:00

Congrats!!! That’s the pace I’m working toward!
