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

Headache help I don't know if this is a specific side effect of Zepbound or if it's because of the changes to my eating habits, but I've had really bad headaches (including one migraine) multiple times over the past week. Today is my 3rd headache day in a row! I take another medication that has headaches as a side effect. However, the headaches had mostly stopped on that med well before I started Zep. But I do think it makes me much more prone to headaches, if that makes sense. What are some tricks and tips for headaches? I am hydrating and drinking electrolytes, but I am curious if other people have dealt with headaches and figured out ways to curb them, dietary-wise.
