Which ones do you like? I’ve tried several and so far Muscle Milk Zero and Owyn are my favorites. I didn’t like Kirkland Whey or Premier. I’m going to try Ensure next, I’ve heard good things about Ensure Complete.

WOW! Congratulations! That’s fantastic!

How did it go for you when you skipped your injection for a couple of days due to your colonoscopy? I recently had to skip a few days due to flight cancellations that prevented me from getting home. I noticed the change within 48 hours. On the second day after missing my injection, the food noise came back, my appetite…

So how’s your journey going so far? I too was very nervous in the beginning. I started 10/23/24 and as of today I’ve lost 25 pounds. My biggest problem is eating enough! Especially with all the water I’m supposed to drink to prevent kidney issues!!! I’ve had only one side effect, worsening constipation. I’ve always had an…

@shicas Thanks! Perfect timing as I am going to Costco today!

Hi @Chele2024! I started October 23. I haven’t weighed myself since December 9 because I am traveling. The day I left I was down 19.4 pounds. I amon Zepbound. I have no side effects. I l experience no food noise and have to remind myself to eat and to eat healthy. I too get my medication online and I worry about my future…

F*A*N*T*A*S*T*I*C !!!!!!!

@shicas I too, I was very worried about side effects. I’ve been fairly lucky so far. I started October 23 on Zepbound. Constipation is my only main complaint and I’m dealing with it by making sure I drink lots of water, get a lot of fiber in my diet, Benefiber every day in my coffee and occasionally add a scoop of Miralax…

Absolutely! @Cherri3770 My first MFP friend! I’m glad you’re trying a lower dose, maybe your body needs more time to acclimate before titrating up. My brother is on Ozempic. Over 6 months now. He vomitted a lot in the beginning, but now only occasionally. It took him a while to figure it out. They adjusted the dose but it…

Hi @Cherri3770! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m sorry that you’re experiencing unpleasant side effects. It might be time to consider one of the many other options that are out there. Maybe one of the others is gentler on your system. Originally, I wanted to go through WW too! From previous experience I know that their online…

I’m pretty much a newbie too. I started Oct 23rd so just over a month. I haven’t told anybody that I am doing this. Only my husband knows. I guess right now I don’t want to deal with the opinions that I already know others have. I have absolutely zero interest in food right now. I have to force myself to eat and I rarely…

I thought it might have been the placebo effect as well when I first started, but I am one month in now and it’s still the same! I don’t feel hungry, foods that used to tempt me no longer tempt me, I have to remind myself to eat and I’m now much more focused on eating healthier.

I use the online site called Shapely but they are expensive. Their compound pharmacy is in Florida. I’m in California. I pay 250.00 a month for Zepbound and “membership” Semaglutide is cheaper but Zepbound was a better choice for me after discussing it with my cardiologist. I really should look around and compare prices…

Ug 🥴 I gained a pound!!!!! 💦 Intellectually I know weight always fluctuates a bit, emotionally I’m sad. That’s definitely something I have to work on! It’s a stupid mind set to have!

@deewip 40 lbs so far! That’s fantastic!!!! Which compound are you using? I’m on Zepbound 2.5, the introductory dose. With my next injection I will start the 5.0. Dose. I haven’t had any problems so far. I’m absolutely amazed at how I have no interest whatsoever in eating. I was struggling to drink enough water in the…

I use Shaplie. They’re ok. Their food diary is a bit antiquated and their’s no-one reviewing it ☹️ I stopped using their food diary and came here. Once a month I have a video call with a representative but it’s not that helpful either. I know a few people who use WeightWatchers clinic and their are very impressed. (And…

I am a self sabotager too. I’m on Zepbound, just started my 4th week on the intro dose. Next week my dose will increase. I used to snack when I was bored, tired, happy, sad etc (you get the picture 🥴) I am absolutely amazed at how I NEVER think of food now. I have to remind myself to eat!!!

Hi! I’ve been on Zepbound for three weeks now. Just took my 4th shot to start week 4. I’m down 9 pounds and I have noticed my food cravings are gone! I actually have to force myself to eat. Spices taste stronger and some foods no longer taste the same to me. Tomatoes for instance taste off, very acidic or something.…

I agree with both of you. Urine color can be a great indicator of urine health. I say “can be” because in some cases it isn’t. I take med that causes my urine to be a bizarre shade of yellow. I fill several drink containers each morning that total my daily required water needs and that helps me keep track. I believe that…
