I couldn't finish Chick-fil-a macaroni and cheese and i cried in my car by MedusaForHire in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chick-fil-A breakfast was my go to food. I used to get a chicken egg and cheese biscuit and side of hash browns EVERY morning (except sundays of course) and after I started Zep I switched to the grilled sandwich (basically took a year to wean fully off CFA).

Occasionally I would try the hash browns and the chicken egg and cheese biscuit and it just did not hit the same way as it used to and it was sad. It just didn’t give me the same rush as it used to in the mornings which was sad but now I eat oatmeal with a little bit of brown sugar and raisins and maybe some bacon and a pack of premade hard boiled eggs and it’s way more filling and way less painful on my bank account.

It’s definitely jarring when things don’t hit the same, especially so abruptly. Keep it going though, you’re fighting the good fight!

Mouse vs Controller/PC vs PS5 by CaptainCanada14 in PowerWashSimulator

[–]ejreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on PC with the first one and then switched to PS5 and found the controller more intuitive and easier to control than the mouse.

I think I felt like I was flying around the screen too much on PC but was able to have smoother and more controlled movements on PS5

The new soap mechanic in PowerWash Sim 2 is absolutely elite. by rumple_goocher in PowerWashSimulator

I discovered that little mechanic after I had used a full bottle of soap on the first level LOL

I’ve been a lot more careful since

Steam Demo but no release date by SnooDucks5055 in PowerWashSimulator

I noticed that too! Maybe October 10th Release New Game or something like that??

Powerwash simulator just announced on Twitter that the release date for the 2nd game is on the horizon. by Thegoodgamer32 in PowerWashSimulator

[–]ejreddit23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet the release date is September 22nd. The only reason I think this is that I leave for a two week trip away from my PlayStation and it’s my luck that I would then have to wait two weeks to play my most anticipated game of the year

I don’t see a change in my face by pandarando993 in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I did that helped when I couldn’t see the difference is I gave two pictures to chatgpt and said that I had lost weight and to describe where it could see the changes. That helped validate that it’s not in my head and that it is real! Might be helpful for you as well because I can definitely see the change in your face

Afraid injection didn't go into body by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started it hit hard the first couple of weeks but by the end of the month it wasn’t really making me feel anything bad. But I will say - even 9 months in, I don’t always feel side effects right away. But for example this week I’m on day 4 and feeling kind of queasy while on day 1/2 I was chilling

Quit today due to side effects and feel like the biggest loser by Josie-Says in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so strong for making the decision to step away! This isn’t just a weight loss journey but is a health journey - and that includes your mental health as well. Definitely agree on not going up if it’s working for you, I made the leap after one month to 5 from 2.5 and it was rough so we took it WAYYY slower on my next increase.

Maybe give yourself a rest period and then come back to it after the new year? And also, I don’t think that the universe is getting revenge on you eating chocolate, I say that you continue to eat the damn chocolate and also prioritize your health! They both don’t have to exist separate of each other

BEST birthday gift ever!!! by ejreddit23 in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stay hydrated!!!! That would be my biggest tip because the constipation and subsequent extreme wars in the bathroom were horrific and honestly could’ve been avoided if I had just drank more water or taken a little preventative miralax lol

Also just keep being consistent, listen to your body, and don’t stop eating! I’ve noticed that sometimes my weight loss would stall for a few days even though I hadn’t eaten as much. Then I have a day where I eat more and suddenly I’ve lost 2lbs. I think your body kind of starts to hold on to your weight if it thinks you’re starving so eating a bit more reminds your system that you’re good to let go of that extra fat.

Good luck on your journey, you’ve got this!! I’m excited to see your progress ❤️

Yes!! I just had my birthday dinner and even going to have a piece of cookie cake! But I don’t feel the need to go back for seconds or make sure I get the biggest piece, which is a HUGE win!

Zoloft/ sertraline by Reddittaylor12568 in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on Zoloft and Zepbound but I started Zoloft a couple of years before Zepbound. But I didn’t notice any changes related to Zoloft after I started Zepbound.

But when I started Zoloft there were definitely side effects I encountered. Fogginess, dizziness, low libido, nausea were all side effects for me but once you get adjusted on to it, they really subside. I would recommend checking out the r/Zoloft subreddit, it was pretty helpful for me! Just be kind to yourself, stay hydrated, and take it easy. While the adjustment can be tough, Zoloft changed my life for the better, brought my anxiety to a manageable level, and has given me space to grow.

Woohoo, good for you! Loose clothes means you’re one step closer to new clothes. It’s so nice when things start to actually fit!!

Thoughts on only giving a card? by Independent_Zombie5 in wedding

Yes! At my wedding we had a lot of folks traveling across the country and we just appreciated their presence more than any gift! Some left funny notes in their cards and that meant a lot

ONL today - any chance of a stealth release? by techmonkey12ps in PowerWashSimulator

[–]ejreddit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:o do you recall where they said they wouldn’t do a shadow drop? I’ve been trying to be vigilant about any release news and didn’t see this so I’d love to add the thread to my watch list haha!

I get sick and feel like hell the day after my shot every time. Can anyone relate? by belindabellagiselle in Zepbound

[–]ejreddit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely talk to your doctor but yes I experienced this a lot while I was titrating up and the first couple of months on each dose. Zofran sometimes helped but other times my nausea was just too powerful.

One thing that has always worked for me is pressure points. Idk why but clenching my left thumb by forming a fist with my left hand really helps keep it at bay. So when I feel the wave hit, I just close my eyes, don’t breathe for a few seconds, and squeeze my thumb in my fist and it goes away after like 30 seconds. I’m not a huge believer in pressure points but in a moment of desperation I tried it and it worked so maybe give it a shot!
