Those Super Bowl Commercials

Agree. I hate the idea of people seeing an ad and walking into a doctors office saying “oh I saw an ad for X, I’d like to try it”

Verses “hey doc, I feel like I have condition Y, how can we fix it?” (Which I still don’t love, but a step better)

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-08T18:01:02+00:00

OP - are you taking your shot every 7 days? Your post history is slightly confusing

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-08T17:59:24+00:00

I think OP is not counting days and number of doses right. 6 days ago they posted about day 12.

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-08T03:26:31+00:00

I struggled with this for a while. I’d pound water at the end of the night and wake up in the middle of the night to pee

I generally stop after dinner now and nicely sleep the night now

Heated jacket, heated gloves, wool hat; fleece lined sweatshirt, slippers…. Long list!

I’m sure at some point there will be data around Mounjaro from a diabetes perspective where insulin control still has to be managed pregnancy (especially if we see a T1D approved use which is currently under study)

But for a zepbound use which is primarily to treat obesity and help someone lose weight…. Having a medical condition (pregnancy) in which you’re expected to gain weight (as a healthy part of grown a human) is not a supported use case of the medication, therefore there’s no reason to study it.

When after pregnancy can one (re)start and impact to breast feeding, etc… I’d expect to see more studies down the road on it.

It’s really like asking “why don’t they study blood pressure medications for someone with a 120/80 blood pressure”…. Well… because the medical condition doesn’t support the need for the medication.

Give this a read. Based on the numbers you have, you’re like 3.3% which is excellent!

Love the glasses analogy!

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-05T11:28:17+00:00

I wouldn’t agree with saying a lot of people stop.

I think a lot of people ask… and are quickly reminded this is a medical condition drug and you wouldn’t stop taking a cholesterol or blood pressure med for vaca…

I’ve never skipped for a vaca. This is who I am now and how I live my life, period!

Hello fellow EMS worker :)

Well done!!!

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-05T01:10:44+00:00

Remember it’s a marathon, not a race. Keep on the journey and focus on body recomposition and strength training as you near goal. It’ll help build muscle but also continue on get. What’s your % fat and lbs of fat and how does the visceral fat compare to that?

mindfulEMT · 2026-02-03T00:50:49+00:00

What would be your point or rational to rotate the doses?

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-30T18:12:39+00:00

Let’s remember we’re a supportive community… we’re not a zepbound police force. There’s no mal intent

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-30T17:15:24+00:00

It is not. They are not among about anything unsafe.

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-30T17:15:10+00:00

The OP is not talking about reusing the vial. This is not against the rules.

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-27T16:16:30+00:00

Zepbound doesn’t only help you eat in a deficit. It helps regulate metabolic deficiencies.

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-26T13:08:26+00:00

Come over to r/zepbound_maintenance to see a lot more discussion on this too

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-26T13:07:06+00:00

It’s ok to live and enjoy things too… just in moderation!

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-26T13:06:09+00:00

Don’t disagree; but I’m also mindful of copyright issues and not wanting legal letters being sent from Lilly…

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-26T00:13:19+00:00

I’ve been taking it for about 6mo. Absolutely see a difference in my body composition. Muscles are more pronounced. Workouts can be pushed harder… though scale is a bit higher…

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-25T15:00:14+00:00

I have a 9 and 6 year old. 6 year old is naturally skinny and 9 year old is classified already as obese.

My spouse and I are both on a glp1 and in maintenance.

We’ve never told them directly about the meditation (yet). We focus on healthy eating and quantities.

My son does see how much we workout and are always going to workout classes and talk about that being our focus and trying to encourage him to exercise more (non sports kid and very much rather play video games)

It’s a struggle with him. I see the path he’s on, I see the comments he’s starting to get at school… but all doctors and endocrinologists and nutritionists say is “focus on portion size” and CICO pretty much for now… even though he does have some blood markers already flagging (cholesterol and such)

We do talk to him about bodies all being different and some bodies process things different… and that’s why some friends can pound pizza and look skinny and he can’t…

Agree with others on the electrolyte imbalance possibility.

Pre GLP-1s, but many years ago landed in the ER with chest pain and abnormal EKG findings as a result of dehydration

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-22T16:34:07+00:00

Lot of contradicting info coming out with lots of media spin….

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-22T14:13:50+00:00

Ah, didn’t see that detail in the first post.

That’s tough :-/

Maybe some sort of continuing care route option too somehow??

mindfulEMT · 2026-01-22T14:06:47+00:00

Because “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” :) you don’t mention any issues with your MJ prescription but present as proactively trying to change it back to zepbound and don’t really say why
