I can’t believe how delicious these are!! Just bought 2 huge boxes at Costco. I put each one in the freezer for 10 minutes before drinking…. Woooooo Hoooooooo!!! And 20g protein in each cute bottle. Mixed Berry Vanilla is my fave 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼🎉🎊…. Better than any Greek yogurt and a lot easier to get down. Go Go Get These 😋
I’m struggling with insomnia for 7 weeks now and seems to be getting worse. I’m not interested in getting on prescription meds. Not a big tea person either. Can anyone help?
I bought 2 4’ oleander trees in July, planted them, and they're doing fine. I'm excited to be able to grow a green wall to keep nosey neighbors from gawking. How long before they get like 8ft tall? New to oleanders and I live in California.
It’s like I can feel myself feeling a little nervous and anxious every month when my Zep script is due to be filled. I haven’t paid that much attention because I just started 3 months ago, but today after my doc appointment I just felt so vulnerable. I have built my life around being very independent and not having to rely on anything so it’s really giving me the creeps that I’m so dependent on my insurance company continuing to cover Zep and the pharmacy not making any mistakes when they send it through their billing process. For sure I know that A LOT of this feeling I have is because my Insurance Company cut me off cold turkey last January. I found myself so relieved when the pharmacy told me that it was covered and that it would be ready for pick up tomorrow (My shot day). I think it just sucks ass that we are literally at their mercy. Just wanted to share that and so glad I have because I know other people are feeling similar as well. Share if you’d like because as a Counselor I think it’s important that we process shit like this. Ty 😁. Edit: I’m not freaking out or anything lol
So, this is my second time around on Zep so I knew I’d be a slow responder until I got past the tolerance level I had at my sweet spot at 7.5. Well, I restarted on July 14 and I titrated up quickly. I started back at 5.0 for 2 weeks and lost nothing, then 7.5 for 4 weeks and again lost nothing. Then, I went to 10.0 (this dose was too high the first time around so I decreased back to 7.5), and I still wasn’t losing. Feeling crushing discouragement and frustration I decided to do my second shot of 10.0 at 5 days instead 7 days and HALLELUJAH it kicked in and I’ve lost 14 pounds in the past 3 weeks and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping!!!😁😁😁😁😁!!!! After that one time early shot I resumed the 7 day schedule and still kept losing. At doc appointment today I decided to stay at 10.0 starting my second pen tomorrow. Just wanted to share my experience since we all have our individual choices on this journey and I’m glad I made this one lol 🎊🎉
How was your experience and how is it going in regard to weight loss? Did you have to reach higher levels to see success or progress this time around?
So, I did some research (not on Reddit) and I found over and over that the medication’s strength is not much above 10.0. I read that trial studies it not targeted, but more of a “stepping stone” to 15.0. I read the medication levels (yes ‘strength’ for all the haters that attacked me yesterday). I’d like to hear from those that have been on 12.5 and if it was more effective for them or basically the same as 10.0. No science speeches or lectures please. Haters stay away. Thank you in advance 🌻
No lectures or science bologna please. Just a question 🙋♀️
Took it at 5 days instead of the 7 days….Got me past the stall (In a big way). Wooo hooooo!🎊🎉
So, here’s me… this is my second time on Zep and I was eventually successful the first time. I had to stop (Ins. Shit) and I regained 34 lbs back in just a few months (pure fat too), so now I’m back at it and losing slowly again. I was like this last time and I feel like this again… because the scale fluctuates a few pounds up and down normally, I always feel like I need to see a solid 20 lb loss before I’m convinced it’s working for me. Weird as it may sound that’s what I do. It’s not a negative or a problem to me, I’m just curious if anyone else feels that way about their progress? One more thing, I usually weigh myself daily (always have regardless) and it doesn’t give me a Mind-F because I know it’s not going to change the bigger picture.
So, I manage my journey fine, and just looking for new ideas. For those of you who shop at TJs what’s good that’s not too heavy. I’m not really concerned about calories because I don’t eat that much of anything anyway. I’ve got my protein and fiber covered as well. Care to share?
Hi, I restarted Zep in July and did 5.0 (2 weeks), 7.5 (4 weeks) with zero weight loss or side effects. I took my 3 shot of 10.0 yesterday and woke up with some feelings of nausea this morning. It was no big deal at all, but definitely enough to notice (familiar to the exact nausea I had felt on the first round of Zep but minimal). It lasted about an hour and then completely went away and hasn’t returned. Not that I wanted to feel nauseous (obviously), but it kinda feels like at least I know that the medication is finally reaching a higher level in my system. Note: My weight loss the first time around was all on 7.5 and I was fully aware that I would take a higher dose this time to reach the same level of weight loss due to tolerance. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced zero side effect whatsoever and Complete delay until 10.0?
Restarted zep 7 weeks ago tomorrow. I titrated up quickly due to no results on 5.0 (2 weeks) and 7.5 (weeks). I'm now on my second shot of 10.0 and FINALLY broke through my previous tolerance level today!!!! 6 lbs overnight!!I Not poop and water either lol🎉🎊
Inquiry ⬆️
Hi, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing not only euphoria, but also an increase in creativity, motivation, problem solving, organization etc? This is my second round on Zep and I had it the first time too and it never went away until I stopped, and now it’s back this time. Any similar experiences you’d like to share?
I’m on Zep for the second time around and as expected it’s A Lot slower this time. I did 2 weeks on 5.0, 4 weeks on 7.5 without any weight loss. Doc says I’m doing “everything right” and I know from experience that I need to stay the course until I find my effective dose. I’m now on my second jab of 10.0 and although I have great appetite supp., in a calorie deficit, meeting water, electrolytes, exercising, Blau Blau Blau I’m still plugging along like a drunken snail. I know it may take until 15.0 and I’ve read the studies, and heard all the play/record lectures too many times. I’m strictly interested in peeps experiences at 12.5 if not making much progress this time around. No need to mention the comparison-thief-joy recording either cuz that’s worn out too. Look for simple straightforward answers only Please. Thank you in advance 🌻😁
Thank you in advance
So, last couple of shots I had no negative side effects, but very strong appetite suppression so I’m just having shakes;I make my own in my blender), water, electrolytes, and a fiber supplement. Gawd I feel like a million bucks. I asked my doc about and she said if I’m not hungry then don’t eat, but make sure I get my protein and what else I mentioned. I addressed it with her because for the life of me I can’t force food down my throat that doesn’t sound or taste good. Anyone with similar choices? Just curious. Please don’t lecture me on a ‘Record/Play’ scientific explanation, I’ve read it all too many times lol.
For only those who have RE-started Zep and your experiences please. I was on Sema and Zep previously and this time I’m struggling to see weight loss. Yes, I know all about the tolerance issue so please don’t lecture me with stuff I all ready know about needing to get to higher levels this time (everyone knows that). Labs are great and Doc says I’m doing everything right. Just interested in how long it took you to get things clicking along again. Thank you
