This is my 6th week on zepbound I do my shot on Friday but I'm nauseated until the next Friday .I've not lost 8#. I eat very small meals 2 a day.i drink my fluids take my vitamins and my protein.but I'm ready to give up I'm sick all day all night
Hi ELizabeth- I'm in week 2 of 5MG. Lost 13 LBS at 2.5MG and had zero side effects on the 5MG. For some reason I hit the wall and thought I would lose more quickly on 5MG and exercising and decent diet. I am thinking at the end of this month to try to go to 7.5MG. If that works I will plan to stay on it as long as possible before the next TT. Great show, great to see you on it. You are an inspiration to all and glad to be part of this wonderful community!!! You make a difference!! Best~ Peter
I’m having the exact same experience. On 2.5mg, I lost 17 pounds. I’m on week 2 of 5mg and stalled completely with no side effects. (Rotating injection sites and drinking all the water with exercise) I thought for sure the higher dose would be even more effective? I hope 7.5 works better for you!
So incredibly glad I found you! Congratulations and blessings on all you have accomplished. I started last January with Meditation and life changes and then July 2023 began Tirzepatide. I’m down 76 pounds and have about 50-60 to go. I’m tall as well almost 5’10. So will probably still be in the overweight category when I hit me target but seeing how I feel. I was up to a size 26 an now in a size 16. I’m a total research queen…worked professionally in film and theatre. Now living and creating a life in the woods of WI and pursuing life as an artist. But this weight loss has given me the confidence to start booking again in commercial work. ❤🌲🏡🌳
I am currently on 5 mg since 11/08/23. I have been able to stay there thanks to your content in your RUclips channel. I have had 3 stalls but got through again thanks to your informative channel. You are amazing!!! Thank you and keep shining. 🎄🌴
🌴 good info. I'm 7 weeks on 2.5 zepbound and just called in for the next box. I'm losing about 1 pound a week and I'm good with that. I'm in this for the long haul 😊
The struggle is real. Very slow with weight loss! Just started 5mg. I'm tryin not to compare with others, but this is my last option for weight loss. Just can't do the surgery!! Praying the scale will continue to move. 🙏 I did have to increase my magnesium due to constipation, and that seems to be helping. 🤞Watching the Oprah show was so difficult...I so sympathize with everyone who has this under recognized disease.❤ The journey continues...thank you for sharing yours. 😊🌳
🌳Thank you so much for discussing this topic. I also see many people who are quick to titrate up. I've also seen doctors who are firm in the belief that a monthly titration is how it's supposed to work rather than considering their individual patient's needs. My original doctor was one of those, but I asked to stay on 2.5 longer. I was struggling with side effects at the time and didn't want to risk feeling worse. I only titrated up to 5mg when my side effects leveled off and weight loss significantly slowed/stopped. I've been on 5mg for over a year now and have lost >80 pounds. I still get a little bit of food chatter, but it's manageable and I'm close to goal, so 5mg is where I'll stay. I say stay on the lowest dose that works for you and don't let a less than knowledgeable provider tell you that you have to move up.
🌴🏝️for me I am on week 9 of Zepbound 2.5. I do occasionally have some food noise, but I continue to lose about 2lbs a week. I meet with my Dr in another 3 weeks, but I’m not sure I even want to move up is I’m still losing weight consistently. I also have had no side effects, which I could have if I move up. Thanks for your encouragement.
This was exactly the vid I needed to watch today. Thank you! I took my first 5 mg shot tonight. I lost around 2 lbs a week on the 2.5 mg. Is that slower than I was expecting? Yes, but it feels healthy to me. And losing at this pace is allowing me to gradually incorporate more exercise and become accustomed to the lifestyle changes without feeling overwhelmed. The loss is enough to keep me motivated, which is what I was desperate to find. Based on what you’re saying and I’m hearing, my plan is to stay on 5 mg as long as the crazy cravings don’t come back. Thank you again and congrats on the Oprah appearance!
I’ve been on 2.5 for 5 weeks and lost 17 lbs. The one thing I’ve noticed is how much my energy level has gone up. I absolutely feel like a new person. Thanks for all you do.
I switched from Victoza to Ozempic, and I stayed exactly the same way for the first three months. Really frustrating, but, now I’m losing again. I was ready to give up. I hope this helps somebody.
My food chatter came back after being on Mounjaro 15mg for approximately 3 months. My pcp added Phentermine for a couple of months. Now I’m on generic Vyvanse and that did the trick. So sometimes stacking medications may be needed. No food noise at all but I started losing too much weight. Now I take my shot every other week.
🌳 Just started on zepbound 2.5 and doing to do my second shot in a couple days! So excited for this journey. Thank you so much for your useful tips and knowledge. Your videos are encouraging and get me excited for my journey w weight loss and zepbound! 🥰
I’m on second 4 week round of 5 milligrams Zepbound. Still nausea, diarrhea and small volumes of food. The scale frozen but my fat pads on my back and tummy feel smaller. Wearing smaller clothes in my closet. Going to try to max the lower doses as long as possible
🌲 Elizabeth I want to thank you for being such an inspiration and going back to the beginning with a lot of your videos and giving tips for us just starting. I started in January, stumbled across your videos a little over a month ago and can’t get enough of them! I really was flying blind and I feel you’ve given me so much direction and so many excellent tools to work with! Thank You Beautiful Lady!
🌲🌴🌲 you are a fast talker! Like listening to Audible at 1.5 speed lol. That's cool cuz you pack lots of info without dragging things out. If you want to send me some of your positive energy I'll be grateful. Keep on being you Countess, you ROCK sister
Thanks for the videos. 🌴 I don’t have FB to join the group but I’m considering. Haha this journey is tough. I’m on week 3 with a 5 pound weight loss so far.
Muscle memory, never heard that term before. After I quit smoking, I used to use carrot sticks for my cigarettes. The behavior was as addicting as the substance. Not quite, but almost! Thanks again for your wonderful channel and information. God bless you.
Thank You!!!! Appreciate Your Guidance.. Opinions.. LOVE YOU!!!! you’re such inspiration !!!! You’re a beautiful person inside and out !!!! so happy I found your videos On my third week Moving very slow But forging forward 🥰👍🏼
I was complaining that my doc keeps me on 2.5 and now, 5, for 6 mths, but I guess, in the long run, that’s good! I’m down 61!lbs. in 8.5 mths. 75 more to go! I love your work, Liz! Keep going! 🌴
🌴🌳🌴thank you so much. I am on 5mg now and am going to stay as long as I can on the lower doses….as long as they are working! As always, so thankful for your videos!
🎄🎄 Amazing information so thankful I have not injected yet. Getting set up have Zepbound in fridge. Thanks to you I didn’t jump right in. I am watching all of your videos and getting the nutritionist first I already made an appointment for the virtual doctor as well. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experience. Chris
Another great video!!! Also I think I told you in the group but there is an oral semaglutide currently available. It’s Rybelsus! Idk if that helps the shortages but yes there is currently an oral glp….if I’m not mistaken it’s also more affordable.
🌳 tree for the Dollar Tree! This was such a great video! So much to think about. I know Truepill just quoted me that they are out of 7.5mg Zep with a get well date of 4/3. We will see if that date holds. I love how you focus on being accurate and keeping the information provided medically accurate and cite the sources! Reason you’re a top voice in this space. Always do some reflection before you just titrate to titrate, and the emphasis on working with a trusted medical provider. Like my Doctor has me going to 10 due to my personal body, and that’s a plan we are working. As always thanks for all you do! Side note loved the outfit today! Chanel always looks good!
🌴 Great advice. Got all my new cooking goodies, the cream and the lip Lange which I love. Oh my goodness the chopper is amazing!! I also got the tape measure and plan to measure tonight! TY Elizabeth❣️ Pink 🩷 looks great on you! I’ll always take the prayers 🙏🏻
I was shocked when I found out about food noise. It wasn’t until I started researching that I realized that I’m not alone with always thinking about food. I’ve had 1 injection so far. Not sure how long to stay on 2.5 but so encouraged. It was great grocery shopping and not wanting everything!
🌴🌴 Hi Elizabeth, you're videos are very informative , and I thank you for all of them. My journey with monjoro started about 2 years ago. I have lost 75 lbs. OMG I feel 100 % better. I have a bad knee and it is no longer hurting. Anyways, I'm on 7.5 and have been for 7 months. still losing 1 - 2 lbs. a week. So yes, please give it time and not be in a hurry to move up. The only side effect is constipation. UG
I listen to a video on Soft white Underbelly RUclips channel from a recovering drug addict talking about the drug chatter. For me food is my drug. Praying for the chatter to quiet. Restarting on 2.5🙏🏻 Elizabeth you should send in a video of your story to that channel. Spread the word
Hi Elizabeth! I just wanted to let you know I had side effects moving up to 5mg of Monjauro. My doctor first moved me back down to 2.5mg because my heart rate went up to 159. BUT He's so genius he figured out that if I take an antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg x 6 daily my side effects disappeared. He started me a week before he moved me back up to 5mg and I had no side effects the second time. YAY! Monitoring my heart and no problems. Even the headaches on the second day after my shot disappeared. Consult your docs and ask if it will work for your side effects, hope it may help anyone else struggling with them. ;)
@@veegee8088 👋 Hi, I take 3 of the 10mg Citirizine in the morning and another 3 at bedtime. Also, the allergy doc has me on Ketotifen 1mg same schedule one morning one bedtime. Remember to consult your doctor before though. Hope it helps u like it did for me.
@@veegee8088 Hello, I thought I answered on my phone for you yesterday, but see it's somehow disappeared. Sorry bout that. I take 3 pills of 10mg Citirizine in the morning and 3 additional at night. I have not had any side effects from Monjauro since. Hope it helps you too... but please before you try consult your doctor first. ;)
🌳 2 great things to add to your shakes. Unsweetened macadamia nut milk by Milkadamia - great flavor and low calories. Another really good option is to add frozen cauliflower to your shakes in place of ice! Cauliflower takes on the flavor of what is mixed (or cooked with) - so you can add frozen cauliflower to your shake, it will make it super thick like a milk shake, give you some extra veggies in your day without changing the taste of your shake or adding a ton of calories or sugar.
I stayed on 2.5 for 2 months and only went up to 5 when the food noise got loud. I am on week 5 of 5mg. and just got my next box and doing great. Hoping to stay on 5 as long as possible. Great video, thanks. Happy to see you on the Oprah special. You are very inspiring 🤩🌴
You mentioned theropy. Do you have an on line therapist? I live in a small town and have had trouble finding someone who specializes in eating disorders. Also, you said you listen to audio… Anything you recommend? Your content has been amazing… One thing that I really hold onto when I get the food chatter is something you said in one of your videos about how incredible an opportunity this is…it’s so true!! I don’t want to squander it. The knowledge you share has just been amazing!! You are a girls girl through and through… just trying to help another girl out😊 and it is SO appreciated and noticed!!! Thank you!!! ❤
🌴 I am just finishing the first month on this Zepbound journey and running into supply issues. If I can't get my prescription filled in the next few days, then I will probably not continue. It's not a magic solution, and you do have to do the work, but just knowing how it works and how it helps makes a big difference.
🌴Thank you so much for saying it’s okay to stay at the 2.5 mg dose. I tried to go to 5 mg for week 5 of my journey My weeks 5 and 6 were horrible, I couldn’t tolerate the 5 mg so I skipped my week 7 dose and went back to the 2.5. I still have the side effects and I am still losing 1-2 lbs a week. My doctor wants me to move up to the 5mg again soon. I believe I am still making progress so not sure why I would do that. Your video has made me feel so much better about my choice.
Love SimpleModern :) I love my primary care doctor. I have officially hit the overweight category 🥳🥳took 15 months. I hope to be moving up to 15mg to see how things go and I hope I don't have bad side effects. 🌴 here is hoping for warmer weather here in the DMV.
Can you elaborate on what was shared on the Oprah special regarding compounds. The pros and cons. I feel it was cut short. I only heard one doctor who felt they weren’t safe.
I went up prior to my symptom ideal place, because my glucose numbers were still to high. I wish I could have stayed lower longer. Best advise ever, Countess- follow doc advise with facts and data. 💕
I can only eat “normal” on days 5-7. Sometimes only 6&7. So this was very helpful. I feel better about doing somewhat OMAD on the other days because I can’t absolutely get more in. I’m meeting with the dietician on my clinical trial so I hope that helps.
🏝 Hey Countess. NSV- I'm using our treadmill. I'm not going to say I like it, but I sure am glad that I do it anyway! Your face looks thinner in a really good way. It's working..keep on keeping on
🌴 I’m new. I didn’t get my prescription yet because the insurance company kicked the preauthorization out of the computer when the pharmacist tried to apply the zepbound coupon (which doesn’t work because of that pharmacy outage 3 weeks ago). I am having this whole emotional roller coaster about starting at all, scared of side effects and then bashing myself for not being able to lose it myself. Having autoimmune hypothyroid disorder for 25 years weight loss is just no longer possible for me, or it seems. I’m happy I came across this channel, and we’ll see what the pharmacy says today and if I can even pick it up. Sorry for the long-winded comment but my question is, were you or anyone here unable to pick it up and had to temporarily stop and if so, what happened?
🌴 Where did you find a GLP1 dietician? I’m on week 2 of 2.5mg and I’m finally able to say no to sweets! It’s an AMAZING feeling! I am struggling with constipation and getting in enough protein. Thank you so much for all of your videos. You have been such a gift to me. 💕
Thank you so much for this video. I keep questioning if I do my second month on 2.5mg, and your advice has really helped me decide I will give it a go for a second month before jumping up. I am paying out of pocket, so the longer I wait to get to 15mg, it would be better right? Your videos have really helped me so much, thank you for taking the time to do them. Much love, Shontele 🌳🏡🌲🌴
🌴🌴🌴. I got the crepe erase, love it and the biocare is a staple now. I also started the Mary Ruths nighttime mineral liquid. It has magnesium and other minerals plus vit D which im always low. The coconut dream taste amazing (like a pina colada shot 😂 before bed) its sugar free and doesn't even taste like it. I even have the hubby on it as he has sleep issues. Ive shared this before, but since taking a tirizeptide compound, my menopausal symptoms have almost 💯 stopped. Thats been a huge win. No more waking up sweating or bathroom multiple times a night. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so not sure if its just me.
🌲 Girl I could use some extra prayer and positivity. I’m on this journey to get my body healthy and just figured my mental health would get better bc of it. In some ways , it definitely did. But other things are holding me back from preforming my best at work. I don’t know if it’s a mid life crisis or burn out or something really wrong with my brain. But I can’t force myself to do what I KNOW needs to be done. It’s so frustrating! I finally have control of my body health and lost control of my mental health 😢
🌳 Afternoon! Please pray for me. I am on week four on Tirzeptide. I have experienced appetite suppression and food noise suppression. I assumed because of this I would easily lose weight! Wrong. I am eating within my calorie deficit, exercising, and eating 110 and 140 grams of protein everyday. I have not lost anything. On the Oprah special the lady research doctor talked about set points, but they did not dig into it in depth. Because I was losing weight before going on Tirz- at a sluggish 3lbs a month since September, I am concerned I might have hit a road block. Apparently, losing weight at this point is not about calorie deficits, getting a good night’s sleep, eating enough protein, or exercising. I feel like my body is broken. I meet with the physician Monday. I thought there was hope. I should know better than to hope. “Hope deferred makes the heart grow faint.”
Where are you guys finding Zepbound? I’m on the .25 of Wegovy and about to take my last shot Monday. I have been calling around for the .5 dose and I cannot find it anywhere! I was surprised I found the starter dose. Zepbound is finally covered by my insurance and I would need the 5mg dose and I can’t seem to find that either. Two pharmacies had it but I’ll need the PA first and I see my doctor this Saturday. Is there a specific pharmacy everyone uses? Please help! 🙏🏽
Okay, so I'm just now realizing what seems shattered a request for chatter hills. I thought it was just please thinking about what I was going to eat next and how delicious and happy hours going to be after I had it. I don't have any certifications but Boyle boys and I enjoyed my fifth period I just have my first shot. Yesterday and just now realize that I haven't thought about cooking or eating anything sense? Last night it is now 3 PM.And I am about to Drink a protein shake
QUEEN, I begged, pleaded and offered 10 million treats...this he's a stubborn mule LOL! I had my lighting system suitcases near my couch and he refused to come over after being outside. Next week's videos I'll move back to his turf if he don't come on the couch LOL!
Great information as always! ♥ I am inspired after watching every one of your videos. I do have an off-topic comment, though... I was wondering if you've made some adjustments to your sound lately? The past few days, I've noticed that the volume of your videos has been lower, even while having my volume turned up to the max. Commercials and other RUclips videos seem fine, but yours has been harder to hear, and I don't want to miss a word of your advice. Thank you in advance.
Thank you! I so appreciate you telling me! Mic issues the last few weeks we are continuing to fix but not quite there yet...ty for telling me! WIll you let me know in upcoming videos if doens't sound right or is improved? Many thanks
absolutely love your videos!! huge inspiration for my journey!! i need a recommendation if possible.... i am on 7.5 mg of zepbound and the shortage finally caught on to me :( is my only option really to keep calling pharmacys and hoping they get it in? id appreciate any feedback :)
I just got titrated up and I’m still on my first month taking 5mg. I wish I could stay at 5mg for another month because it seems to be working fine🌳 Month 1: 2.5mg Month 2: 5mg Month 3: prescribed 7.5mg starting April 1 Weight loss: 12lb
Hi love! It's in the description....click the "... more.." hyperlink to show description. I can't put into comments or YT will hide my comment back to you.
I would go through CVS. My original insurance didn’t pay but I had a secondary insurance card that CVS gave me is called Caremark and then there was good RX which they will approve you through. Try those.
Just spitballing. I have no idea but are their food and or supplements that help your body make more GLP1? I say this because you’re at the highest. I don’t know where you would find that info, but worth a try. Also, the shortage list means nothing to me. I have a very hard time finding zepbound and it’s not on the list. I changed from s as compound to name brand and it works better. Compounds work, but for me zepbound works better. It’s just frustrating.
To love you is to love YOU. Keep on being yourself. You have invited us to your channel and we are here because we like you ❤ and your content.
I appreciate you beyond words Keisha! 🙏 Thank you so much sweet friend! 🙌❤️

🌴🌴 Hi Elizabeth, you're videos are very informative , and I thank you for all of them. My journey with monjoro started about 2 years ago. I have lost 75 lbs. OMG I feel 100 % better. I have a bad knee and it is no longer hurting. Anyways, I'm on 7.5 and have been for 7 months. still losing 1 - 2 lbs. a week. So yes, please give it time and not be in a hurry to move up. The only side effect is constipation. UG
🎄🌲🎄 Completed 3 walks today for a total of 3.32 miles 😊 and almost at 12,000 steps for today! Yay! 😊 and also did a 10 minute arm workout!
I listen to a video on Soft white Underbelly RUclips channel from a recovering drug addict talking about the drug chatter. For me food is my drug. Praying for the chatter to quiet. Restarting on 2.5🙏🏻 Elizabeth you should send in a video of your story to that channel. Spread the word
Hi Elizabeth! I just wanted to let you know I had side effects moving up to 5mg of Monjauro. My doctor first moved me back down to 2.5mg because my heart rate went up to 159. BUT He's so genius he figured out that if I take an antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg x 6 daily my side effects disappeared. He started me a week before he moved me back up to 5mg and I had no side effects the second time. YAY! Monitoring my heart and no problems. Even the headaches on the second day after my shot disappeared. Consult your docs and ask if it will work for your side effects, hope it may help anyone else struggling with them. ;)
Hi! You mean to say to take 6 pills daily? How does the antihistamine schedule look like? I am very interested to know. Thank you!
@@veegee8088 👋 Hi, I take 3 of the 10mg Citirizine in the morning and another 3 at bedtime. Also, the allergy doc has me on Ketotifen 1mg same schedule one morning one bedtime. Remember to consult your doctor before though. Hope it helps u like it did for me.
@@veegee8088 Hello, I thought I answered on my phone for you yesterday, but see it's somehow disappeared. Sorry bout that.
I take 3 pills of 10mg Citirizine in the morning and 3 additional at night. I have not had any side effects from Monjauro since. Hope it helps you too... but please before you try consult your doctor first. ;)
🌳 2 great things to add to your shakes. Unsweetened macadamia nut milk by Milkadamia - great flavor and low calories. Another really good option is to add frozen cauliflower to your shakes in place of ice! Cauliflower takes on the flavor of what is mixed (or cooked with) - so you can add frozen cauliflower to your shake, it will make it super thick like a milk shake, give you some extra veggies in your day without changing the taste of your shake or adding a ton of calories or sugar.
🌲on week one. Appreciate all of your encouraging advice! Congrats on your weight loss!
I stayed on 2.5 for 2 months and only went up to 5 when the food noise got loud. I am on week 5 of 5mg. and just got my next box and doing great. Hoping to stay on 5 as long as possible. Great video, thanks. Happy to see you on the Oprah special. You are very inspiring 🤩🌴
Happy to hear this! Started 5 mg tonight and hoping to stay on it a while.
Where are you guys located? I’m in California and can’t find it available anywhere
🌳🌲🌳 I'm only day 2 on my journey but I love your videos. I'm definitely gonna see how long I can stretch lower doses before titrating up. Thank you!
I love your videos and was even inspired to start my own RUclips blog. Thank you for always being so informative and real.
I really enjoy all your videos Elizabeth. I look forward to seeing them. Thank you for all that you do. God bless you and keep you is my prayer ❤
🌲Thank you so much for sharing this information! These tips, tricks, and inspiration have been so incredibly important to me.
🌳 I love your channel. Thank you for all you do!
🌴 I got my 1st shipment of LMNT today! I'm so excited to try it. Thank you for all your encouragement!!❤❤
Ohhh! Keep me posted
I ❤ the animation!!
Agreed! I'd get bored if she just recited the info without some pep haha
So much good info! Love this channel!
You mentioned theropy. Do you have an on line therapist? I live in a small town and have had trouble finding someone who specializes in eating disorders. Also, you said you listen to audio… Anything you recommend?
Your content has been amazing… One thing that I really hold onto when I get the food chatter is something you said in one of your videos about how incredible an opportunity this is…it’s so true!! I don’t want to squander it.
The knowledge you share has just been amazing!! You are a girls girl through and through… just trying to help another girl out😊 and it is SO appreciated and noticed!!! Thank you!!! ❤
🌴 I am just finishing the first month on this Zepbound journey and running into supply issues. If I can't get my prescription filled in the next few days, then I will probably not continue. It's not a magic solution, and you do have to do the work, but just knowing how it works and how it helps makes a big difference.
🌲🌳 Hi from Minnesota! I ❤ your videos and group! Thank so much for sharing your experience with all of us!
🌴Thank you so much for saying it’s okay to stay at the 2.5 mg dose. I tried to go to 5 mg for week 5 of my journey My weeks 5 and 6 were horrible, I couldn’t tolerate the 5 mg so I skipped my week 7 dose and went back to the 2.5. I still have the side effects and I am still losing 1-2 lbs a week. My doctor wants me to move up to the 5mg again soon. I believe I am still making progress so not sure why I would do that. Your video has made me feel so much better about my choice.
Love SimpleModern :) I love my primary care doctor. I have officially hit the overweight category 🥳🥳took 15 months. I hope to be moving up to 15mg to see how things go and I hope I don't have bad side effects.
🌴 here is hoping for warmer weather here in the DMV.
Can you elaborate on what was shared on the Oprah special regarding compounds. The pros and cons. I feel it was cut short. I only heard one doctor who felt they weren’t safe.
Yes! I need to do follow up - thank you for reminding me!
I love your content! I did have to change the playback speed so I could catch all the info. 🙂
Good! Love technology
I went up prior to my symptom ideal place, because my glucose numbers were still to high. I wish I could have stayed lower longer. Best advise ever, Countess- follow doc advise with facts and data. 💕
I can only eat “normal” on days 5-7. Sometimes only 6&7. So this was very helpful. I feel better about doing somewhat OMAD on the other days because I can’t absolutely get more in. I’m meeting with the dietician on my clinical trial so I hope that helps.
🌴🌴🌴Bansky and I love you and the pink bodysuit! (And the notebook. 😂) I’ve been on 5 mg for 10 weeks and plan to stay as long as possible! 🩵🩵🩵
How’s the weight loss going for you?
Pls send my love to Banksy! I was telling Mr Freddy about about sweet Banksy today lol! :-D
I can't do much physical activity I have a bad hip awaiting hip replacement in the near future
🏝 Hey Countess. NSV- I'm using our treadmill. I'm not going to say I like it, but I sure am glad that I do it anyway! Your face looks thinner in a really good way. It's working..keep on keeping on
Prayers appreciated, seeing an Endo. Next week i hope for better communication then i get with my PCP. 🙏🏼
COVERING you in prayers, peace, wisdom and love!
🌴 I’m new. I didn’t get my prescription yet because the insurance company kicked the preauthorization out of the computer when the pharmacist tried to apply the zepbound coupon (which doesn’t work because of that pharmacy outage 3 weeks ago). I am having this whole emotional roller coaster about starting at all, scared of side effects and then bashing myself for not being able to lose it myself. Having autoimmune hypothyroid disorder for 25 years weight loss is just no longer possible for me, or it seems. I’m happy I came across this channel, and we’ll see what the pharmacy says today and if I can even pick it up. Sorry for the long-winded comment but my question is, were you or anyone here unable to pick it up and had to temporarily stop and if so, what happened?
🌲Thank you for posting information!
🌴Thanks for the great advice!
🌴 Where did you find a GLP1 dietician? I’m on week 2 of 2.5mg and I’m finally able to say no to sweets! It’s an AMAZING feeling! I am struggling with constipation and getting in enough protein. Thank you so much for all of your videos. You have been such a gift to me. 💕
I am so sorry! She changed her link and I just updated today in the description
Thank you so much for this video. I keep questioning if I do my second month on 2.5mg, and your advice has really helped me decide I will give it a go for a second month before jumping up. I am paying out of pocket, so the longer I wait to get to 15mg, it would be better right?
Your videos have really helped me so much, thank you for taking the time to do them.
Much love, Shontele
🌳🏡🌲🌴
So you switched to zepbpund? Is it working for you?
🌴🌴🌴. I got the crepe erase, love it and the biocare is a staple now. I also started the Mary Ruths nighttime mineral liquid. It has magnesium and other minerals plus vit D which im always low. The coconut dream taste amazing (like a pina colada shot 😂 before bed) its sugar free and doesn't even taste like it. I even have the hubby on it as he has sleep issues. Ive shared this before, but since taking a tirizeptide compound, my menopausal symptoms have almost 💯 stopped. Thats been a huge win. No more waking up sweating or bathroom multiple times a night. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so not sure if its just me.
You rock Suzi! So humbled you took my recommendations. And so grateful you are enjoying them as much as I do!
I drove two hours to find my 7.5 mg. I say there is a shortage. Luckily my husband had a dr.s appointment in that city. I’m in southeast Georgia.🏝🌲🌳
🌳 just found you and I'm binge watching!
🌲 Girl I could use some extra prayer and positivity. I’m on this journey to get my body healthy and just figured my mental health would get better bc of it. In some ways , it definitely did. But other things are holding me back from preforming my best at work. I don’t know if it’s a mid life crisis or burn out or something really wrong with my brain. But I can’t force myself to do what I KNOW needs to be done. It’s so frustrating! I finally have control of my body health and lost control of my mental health 😢
Praying over you and covering you in wisdom for next steps...
🌳 Afternoon! Please pray for me. I am on week four on Tirzeptide. I have experienced appetite suppression and food noise suppression. I assumed because of this I would easily lose weight! Wrong. I am eating within my calorie deficit, exercising, and eating 110 and 140 grams of protein everyday. I have not lost anything. On the Oprah special the lady research doctor talked about set points, but they did not dig into it in depth. Because I was losing weight before going on Tirz- at a sluggish 3lbs a month since September, I am concerned I might have hit a road block. Apparently, losing weight at this point is not about calorie deficits, getting a good night’s sleep, eating enough protein, or exercising. I feel like my body is broken. I meet with the physician Monday. I thought there was hope. I should know better than to hope. “Hope deferred makes the heart grow faint.”
Low carb helped me so track your net carbs
I didn’t see the weight watchers app for protein?
Where are you guys finding Zepbound? I’m on the .25 of Wegovy and about to take my last shot Monday. I have been calling around for the .5 dose and I cannot find it anywhere! I was surprised I found the starter dose. Zepbound is finally covered by my insurance and I would need the 5mg dose and I can’t seem to find that either. Two pharmacies had it but I’ll need the PA first and I see my doctor this Saturday. Is there a specific pharmacy everyone uses? Please help! 🙏🏽
Okay, so I'm just now realizing what seems shattered a request for chatter hills. I thought it was just please thinking about what I was going to eat next and how delicious and happy hours going to be after I had it. I don't have any certifications but Boyle boys and I enjoyed my fifth period I just have my first shot. Yesterday and just now realize that I haven't thought about cooking or eating anything sense? Last night it is now 3 PM.And I am about to Drink a protein shake
🌳 thank you always
on wegovy and highest dose and it is no longer working waiting for ins to cover Zepbound
🌴 Thank you. (Love that you pray for everyone).
🌳 Hey girl, I like supporting your channel and I am cheering you on 😊.
Peace and love, Leita
I appreciate you so much sweet friend ❤️😘
I’m going on month 3 of 5mg because of the shortage. Hopefully my pharmacy will get it for me. ❤
You are just so beautiful
Thanks for informing and enlightening us
Thank you for the kind words. Grateful to be on this journey w/ you!
Wonderful information! 🌴
The GLP-1 dietitian link? 🎄🌲🌴🌳🏝️
I am so sorry! She changed her link and I just updated today in the description
You’re the best!!!❤ 🌳
🌳 Love your videos!!
Mr Freddie we miss you 🥰🥰 Day 6 and 7 some weeks are kinda hard but I’m learning to do things right
QUEEN, I begged, pleaded and offered 10 million treats...this he's a stubborn mule LOL! I had my lighting system suitcases near my couch and he refused to come over after being outside. Next week's videos I'll move back to his turf if he don't come on the couch LOL!
Great information as always! ♥ I am inspired after watching every one of your videos. I do have an off-topic comment, though... I was wondering if you've made some adjustments to your sound lately? The past few days, I've noticed that the volume of your videos has been lower, even while having my volume turned up to the max. Commercials and other RUclips videos seem fine, but yours has been harder to hear, and I don't want to miss a word of your advice. Thank you in advance.
Thank you! I so appreciate you telling me! Mic issues the last few weeks we are continuing to fix but not quite there yet...ty for telling me! WIll you let me know in upcoming videos if doens't sound right or is improved? Many thanks
Great video thank you! 🌴
Which pharmacy do you guys use? It is out of stock everywhere😢
absolutely love your videos!! huge inspiration for my journey!! i need a recommendation if possible.... i am on 7.5 mg of zepbound and the shortage finally caught on to me :( is my only option really to keep calling pharmacys and hoping they get it in? id appreciate any feedback :)
Could you show us a full body side by side current before/after?
It is in the video babes
🌳Just started my journey 2 days ago. 😊🙏
I just got titrated up and I’m still on my first month taking 5mg. I wish I could stay at 5mg for another month because it seems to be working fine🌳
Month 1: 2.5mg
Month 2: 5mg
Month 3: prescribed 7.5mg starting April 1
Weight loss: 12lb
Ask to stay on unless you already picked up.
🌲🌲🌲🌲 i usually dont comment on videos. Very glad to found your videos and looking forward to this journey with your insight
Grateful to be on this journey with you! 🙌
I can't find the link to the join fridays thing
Hi love! It's in the description....click the "... more.." hyperlink to show description. I can't put into comments or YT will hide my comment back to you.
@CountessofShopping thank u so much I'm switching over lol
🌲🎄🌲 On my 2nd walk of the day today to get in 3 miles 😊
How are people getting zepbound approved by insurance?
PAs
I would go through CVS. My original insurance didn’t pay but I had a secondary insurance card that CVS gave me is called Caremark and then there was good RX which they will approve you through. Try those.
Am I just missing the link to the dietitian you are using?
My apologies! She had an updated link and just added today!
🌴🌴🌴 Pray is always appreciated!
Just spitballing. I have no idea but are their food and or supplements that help your body make more GLP1? I say this because you’re at the highest. I don’t know where you would find that info, but worth a try. Also, the shortage list means nothing to me. I have a very hard time finding zepbound and it’s not on the list. I changed from s as compound to name brand and it works better. Compounds work, but for me zepbound works better. It’s just frustrating.
What kind of audios suggest some plz and thank you
Do you weight every day or once a month?
