-Starting off strong! B12 + Zeppy 💉 today! #zepbound #b12

Today is my first day on Zepbound! I took my first shot today after months of waiting for insurance to approve it. I am hoping to see results once I start adding it to a routine! My starting weight as of this post is 325 pounds. I have sleep apnea and I wonder if that will change on my journey. Seeing other people's journeys is very inspiring. I am very nervous but I am also excited! (I also just hate shots.)

Not Weighing Self Y'all were so helpful last time I asked a question, I thought I'd try another one. Here's my dilemma: I haven't weighed myself since 2014. I have an eating disorder history, and I find the scale extremely triggering. I'll obsess over the number and get into some bad habits. So I typically step on the scale backwards at the doctor's office and just ask them not to say the number out loud. Never been a problem. I started Zepbound about 5 days ago, and as much as I don't want to weigh myself, I'm wondering if I should start so I can keep track of how things are going. My doc has my starting weight, and I have a 12 week follow up, so is it okay to just trust the process and let her tell me if I've lost weight? Or should I push myself to get a scale, even if it might impact my mental health? Not sure what to do here. Edited to add: I am tracking my calories daily, prioritizing protein and fiber, and exercising six days per week. So other than weighing myself, I feel good about my other habits.

I just took the plunge, and had my first shot today It wasn't scary. It was pretty anti climatic. I was waiting all day for the needles to come in the mail, and they were delayed. And I was annoyed because I just wanted to get started. So I just went to the pharmacy and bought some with some prep pads. I use the zepbound kwikpen, and i used it against my leg, but it said to vary the injection site week to week. I thought I could do it between my legs week to week. Is it more effective if I do stomach injections? I don't know if it matters at all. I unscrewed the needle, and I've got a sharps container coming to put it in, so I'll be able to take care of it. I'm going to drink water tonight as per advice. Is it OK if I drink water with zero sugar flavoring like mio. I say people were drinking things like liquid iv. Is there a problem getting electrolytes on glp1 that i should know about? Some dieting advice says I should eat about 1200 calories a day while on it, but that the biggest struggle is getting enough nutrients, and staying hydrated. We'll see how the next couple days go. I'm ready.

Bud Question My 3 month supply of Tirzepitide will be delivered tomorrow. I still have 2 weeks left on my zepbound quikpen. Will the compounded be ok if I wait 2 weeks before I start using or will it go past Bud date potentially? I didn't anticipate it being delivered so quickly, literally only just had 1st consult today

Quick question for anyone on Community First / UH **Quick question for anyone on Community First / UH:** Now that they’re starting to charge to cover GLP-1s, does anyone know if there’s a workaround or trick for getting Zepbound approved? Without the copay? Also, does the employee weight loss program cover it, or is there any way to bring the cost down below $200/month? Appreciate any insights or tips!

Nausea 8 Days After Shot Hi guys. I started Zepbound about a month ago, and took my 4th shot (2.5) last Friday. The first 3 shots were totally fine, but the 4th shot messed me up so bad. The day after my last shot I ended up being admitted to the hospital for nonstop vomiting and nausea, but got a bit better and was released the next day. Since then (a full week) I’ve continued to have symptoms every day and haven’t yet gone a day without throwing up. I can hold down liquids an some small food for the most part but have still thrown up 1x the last 2 days. My primary care doctor says I just have to wait for the medicine to get out of my system but this is so awful and I have this impending feeling of doom that I’ll never get better. Does anyone have similar stories of continued bad nausea for over a week after their last shot that eventually did get better? Help me pls
