I just began my second month on compound Semaglutide. I've lost 12 lbs so far. The nice thing for.me.is I'm not dieting. I did take one week off the shot as I wanted to be 100% sure that my intestines were working. I'm a little scared of intestinal paralysis. I'm that week things were functioning just fine. about mid way through that week I noticed that I began to start thinking about what food I might want to eat. By the time I finally took my shot, it was nearly immediate that I noticed a difference in my thoughts..I was in the grocery store that evening, walked down the ice cream aisle, and realized how habitual it was of me. I looked at the ice cream and cookies on the other side, shrugged my shoulders and thought to myself. Nah, I really have no desire to have any of this. I believe my grocery bills are going down. Mainly, because I'm not buying as much. On another note, I'm also spending less on other goods outside of food. It's pretty amazing. Has anyone else noticed this?
ah yes the food noise being gone is one of my favorite parts of being on these medicines. And less shopping is something I have heard from other people too. It can lessen any addictive behavior. I dropped to one cup of coffee a day and I was drinking 2 or 3.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thanks to you and all the information you give, I started my journey today. Thank you for all the tips and for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the information. I’m on compound Tirzepatide and I’m on week 4 of 2.5. Everything is going good so far not many side effects just a little nausea. I’m down 12 pounds so far and feeling great about it. I was shocked today because I am 2 belt loops back on my belt and that’s amazing. You look great I don’t know if it was the camera but you had a glow to your skin and I know you’re happy I can see it in your smile. Thanks again.
@@szilviamore8963 I use JoinFridays telehealth. One of their providers sends in the prescription to a vetted compound pharmacy and then the medication is shipped to my house
@@MadisonLoethen I m interesting in signing up with Join Fridays may I ask what pharmacy thru Joinfridays ,did you get yours from Hallendale pharmacy like Loraine ?
@@MadisonLoethen YAY thank you for your response. I just signed up with your code 😊 How long would it take approximately for the consult to be reviewed?
I take my 4th shot of sema tomorrow night. Seeing my doc tomorrow for a follow up and going to ask her to switch me to tirz since I've had zero effect with the sema...I've gained 2 lbs on it...ugh. At my initial appt. I had asked her, after much research, to put me on zepbound to which she replied..."I rarely prescribe that!" I never got to ask her why so will be asking her tomorrow. If she doesn't prescribe the zepbound I'll also likely go the route of the compound through telehealth. Does Fridays add anything to the compounded tirz like b12 or anything?
So weird she wouldn’t prescribe zepbound! The vials I’ve gotten from JoinFridays are not mixed with anything but they work with 5 or so different pharmacies on a contract bases jn order to keep the prices so low so I’m not sure if all of the pharmacies do or don’t
I had some joint pain on my 1st dose. On the 3rd day it was fairly intense. Have you heard anything about that? I'm on compound Tirzepatide. When did you get the best help with food noise? I'm just starting, but I have done quite a bit of research as well. Just hearing others journeys has helped a lot. Also, did you notice any difference when you injected into your abdomen area as opposed to other areas?
I haven't heard about joint pain as a side effect before! The food noise is almost non existent for me days 2-4 after my shot. It's wonderful. I've noticed less side effects when I inject into my legs vs my stomach. I haven't tried anywhere else.
I'm using Compound. It's from a pharmacy in the USA, regulated by the FDA. I have a Dr. who I meet with every month by phone. I had to send her my.most recent lab work before she approved me to move forward. What would be dangerous about this? It comes mixed, you just draw the amount into your syringe and then inject it. It's very simple and you don't need a degree to do this.
Thank you for the information. Im on Mounjaro 5mg and have been for a few months now. Do you mind me asking how much that would equate in price for the compound? Im fearful my insurance will be stopping coverage.

I lost over 6 lbs in my first week too! It was so motivating 🎉
Yay!

5:55 "I want the good stuff" same here. definitely choosing Tirzepatide. just need to do more research on the best provider.
Tirzep was great to me! I was also happy with my provider JoinFridays. (My code with them is “Madison” 😉)
I'm so glad I found your channel. You must be a Dr. You explained all this so well. Thank you so much ❤
Aw so glad it was helpful!
I’ve been on Zepbound since Feb 12,2024. I’m down 49 lbs. 55 pounds to go. I get nauseous every once in awhile but I do get dizzy when I stand up.
Congrats on your success! The dizzy thing happens to me sometimes too. A sugar free electrolyte drink a day can help ❤️
May I ask what pharmacy have been using ?

Good job 👍
Thanks!
Very good explanations
Thanks so much!
Very helpful
O thank you!
I love 😊the way you explained!! Is there trusted websites that you do recommend to get the prescription for??
Yes!! I use JoinFridays and have had a great experience. Code “MADISON” will get you some $$ off your first month membership ❤️

@@beaVargas20 yay! You need to make an appointment and then they will order your meds that day!
Im on wegovy 0.25 i haven't noticed any side effects nor appetite loss in taking my 2nd dose friday so hoping for better results
It sometimes takes people a few weeks or even months to notice a difference. Hang in there!
I'm on my second week of Tirzepatide and no weight loss at all! 25 dosage, so frustrating!
@@jeanchensmith4570 some people have to titrate up to start loosing. hang in there!

@@MadisonLoethen Thanks! :) Ya, anxious to ask her tomorrow the reason why she doesn't prescribe zep/tirz. So frustrating.
Just curious what was your dose of sema?
@@BrensBoutique did you find out why she rarely prescribes it?

Zepbound 2.5mg lost 26 pounds in 10 weeks so far, no side effects. Wegovy made me really sick nauseated 🤢
amazing! glad you are feeling better too!
Semiglutide made me moody and depressed. I’m starting Zep soon
Hope it goes well for you! Best of luck!
What is food noise?
When you can’t stop thinking about food 24/7
My daughter won’t use compounds- she’s afraid. Any links to these coupons. I am having hard time finding the tirzepatide. Thanks.

(partner) check out my video on the safety of compounds ❤️
that doesn’t make sense. compounds are just combined with b vitamins usually. there’s literally no reason to be afraid. sounds like a skill issue…
I'm dumb.. why is a compound so much cheaper?? Are active ingredients the same?
Yes! They’re just made fresh at compound pharmacies and sent in vials.
How much did you weigh when you started?
My BMI was 27 🥰
This compounding stuff seems very dangerous to me. Injecting something that is quite unregulated is not a good idea.
It comes from a licensed government regulated facility ❤️
