My 1st week on Foundayo

I just wanted to document my 1^(st) week on my starting dose of 2.5 Foundayo.

Back story – 68/M Switched to Foundayo 2.5 for the ease of traveling internationally.

Starting weight 210lbs May 2025 – Started Zepbound (self-pay LD), reached goal weight of 150lbs January 2026 (highest dose of 7.5).  Dropped to 5.0 for maintenance and maintained current weight of 150lbs since then.

After one week I have gained 2lbs.  Food noise started to creep back on day 4 with hunger starting around noon each day.  No other side effects, although I do take stool softeners daily and drink plenty of water.  Since I started to snack more in the afternoons/evenings, I’m trying to make smart choices but I’m afraid that the salt content is catching up with me.

I go see my DR this week for a checkup and grab a new prescription for 5.5mg.

This is just my journey and not meant to be suggestions or recommendations for others.  Always keep your PCP informed.
