Feeling frustrated

Started on tirz/b6 at the beginning of May. Just did my last injection of 5mg. I keep losing and gaining the same lbs. It's been 8 weeks and I've lost 7 lbs, or at least I did, but it keeps jumping around. I know I shouldn't expect a linear progress but this is simply making me feel defeated. I keep reading about these huge losses in a month and wonder what's wrong with me? I eat carefully, work on protein, water, lift weights and/or bike or walk at least 3x a week. Has anyone had such slow progress with the two steps forward, three back kind of thing? And do I hope that maybe 7.5mg might be more rewarding?? I do feel the food noise suppression but I think me and my flab are just really good friends at this point and don't want to part! 😝

Seattle in September

Visiting Seattle from MD in mid-Sept, will just have two days before we make our way up to Vancouver. Was thinking of doing an Argosy harbor tour but since we will be taking the ferry to Bainbridge on our second day does it make sense to do the tour as well? Also, wondering if it's worth it to do a food tour of Pike Place? We are two seniors and the size of Pike Place seems a little overwhelming to just wander! Thanks!

Stopping/starting for surgery?

I'm currently on 5mg, doing my 7th injection today. I need to have surgery within the next month and was told to stop the tirzepatide two weeks prior. I am wondering if anyone has experience with starting again after surgery? I'm not sure if I need to start all over again with 2.5mg or if I can just pick up where I left off? Had a bit of mild nausea periodically the first month but seem to have adjusted to that and concerned if I start back where I stopped (would be 7.5mg at that point) that the nausea will really get me. I also have only lost about 7 lbs so apparently I'm a slow loser, was hoping at 7.5mg things might kick in a little more so kinda hate to start all over again...

Traveling in Vancouver

I hope this is the right forum for these questions. My husband and I, both seniors, will be spending two nights in Vancouver in September. Right now our only plans are to explore Granville Island and spend some time in Stanley Park. Hotels are crazy expensive but I think I'm leaning towards the Granville Island Hotel which includes parking (we will have a rental car). If I'm understanding we can leave the car and take the Aquabus downtown if we want to wander around there as well? Then we would drive to the park, is that right? I've only just started looking into this so just trying to figure out the plan. Thanks

I am excited! But at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up. Nervous about side effects...have never handled nausea well and hoping that's not a given. I've fought my weight for years, will be 67 on Monday and believe me, after menopause that fat doesn't wanna budge! I am allowing myself to hope that what I've seen here called "food noise" will fade...here I go, wish me luck!

I am new to Pomegranate, chose them because of reviews here. Had my initial telehealth visit on Friday 4/17, meds prescribed, and got a text from Pharmacy Hub to expect delivery by 4/22. Received repeated messages from UPS, changing delivery date. I called UPS on Friday 4/24 and they said it was suspected to be lost and they opened an investigation, which could take 8-10 days. I went into the Charm portal to message the provider who did my initial visit but now her name is gone so I don't know who is in charge of my care. I sent an email to Pomegranate asking if I should reorder meds or what I need to do at this point but haven't heard back. I was so excited but now so disappointed and frustrated and not sure what the next steps should be. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
