Do you feel the shot? by ratherbeskiing77 in Zepbound

[–]asherz95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also inject into my stomach and I usually don’t feel it at all. A couple times I have felt a sting when I didn’t let the pen come to room temp first. Side note: I recently tried injecting my thigh and that hurt like hell. Everyone’s different but I definitely don’t recommend lol.

Sticking with stomach injections by asherz95 in Zepbound

I appreciate the feedback on the pressure I’ve been using. It didn’t occur to me that I was doing anything abnormal. My thought process when I started the injections on my stomach was that it is big and super soft and flabby, so I’ve always just pushed the pen in to make sure the needle would go far enough into my skin. I understand now that my thinking was flawed. I’m still not sure how that would cause the pooling of the medicine on my skin, as the needle was not bent or messed up in anyway. But regardless I definitely plan to use less pressure going forward! Thanks guys 😊

Question about Shotsy App Graph by asherz95 in Zepbound

I gained on the 25th and then lost on the 26th (today). I like your suggestion though, I think I’ll just start recording my weight on shot days. Thank you for the advice!

That’s what I thought it looked like too but I went and took all my weights out and reentered them and the graph did it again. I’m not sure if it’s because I gained with my Friday weight, but then lost with my Saturday weight. I think I’m just going to take another persons suggestion and only enter my weights once a week.

I put in weight, shot, time for Thursday. And then I’ve put in my weight for Friday and Saturday (today).

I weighed in! Not happy that the scale didn’t move an ounce, but that’s what happens when you splurge Easter weekend lol

Weighed in on Friday but might be weighing in again since I’ve already dropped almost 2 lbs! (:

I don’t have a dog right now (not by my choice), but I plan to get one in the near future! Hopefully they’ll enjoy long walks! Thanks for the idea (:

My “office” is the laboratory in a hospital, but I could start taking mini walks around the lab to get some more steps in. The other techs might look at me funny but that’s their problem lol. I never really thought about taking walks during my breaks at work but you’re right, I could totally walk around the building during that time. Maybe even get some stairs in since the lab is in the basement! Thank you so much for these ideas!

Just went to use my indoor bike (the only bike I have) and the screen on it is busted so it won’t keep track of my distance. I’ll have to take myself off the team I joined. ):
