Arms have been reliable for me. Tried the thigh once and ended up nauseous and vomiting, so that's off the rotation. Never tested the stomach - no reason to at this point.

I'm on week 2 of tirzepatide, and I barely have any appetite. It's a little concerning, honestly.

Probably eating too much. i lost steady 1.5 lbs/week but only at 1000-1200 cals. hormones all over the place too which messes with it. try dropping 100 cals a week til you hit 1-2 lbs loss. also pre-period water gain used to hide my loss for 3 weeks then boom 4 lbs in one week.

Wow!!

Dropped from 15 to 10 cuz I was wiped out. Felt better on 10, but gaining weight. Last shot I switched injection spot—stomach to thigh—and now I'm feeling rough. Sulfur burps, nausea, the works. Could the spot actually change side effects?

Your skin is glowing! 😍

Why not just two 60s then, Salad_Life?

Started Wegovy tablet at 1.5mg, some nausea but could eat. Jumped to 4mg and ended up in the ER with severe dehydration after puking for days. Stopped 2 weeks ago and still struggling with nausea, stomach pain, bloating.

run 5-amino 7mg fasted in the AM, love it. stacks great with coffee. throw in MOTS-c every other day and that's my go-to combo. helps with the tired feeling on injection days

Tons of info already posted on this. Do some looking around, learn as you go, and then share what you find out.

I've definitely noticed that some weeks are harder than others. I'm on a different med, but some weeks the food noise is louder. I try to reach for healthier options and if I really need to indulge I will, but just a small portion. It's alright to give in here and there as long as you don't go...

You're not an idiot, it's a super common experience. The physical hunger quiets down, and suddenly you're aware of all the other stuff that was always there: boredom, habits, emotional eating. You probably lumped it all together as 'hunger' before because it was simpler. Now you're learning to...

I started on a low dose and gradually increased. It's important to listen to your body and work with your doctor to find the right dosage for you. It's a tool, not a miracle.

Congratulations! You are looking amazing!

I think pics are where I see it the most honestly. Like I don't see it day to day, but side by side... huge. I started around 220, now I'm like 190. 30-ish gone.

You looked fantastic before, and you look fantastic now. Being content is the only thing that counts.

I totally get that. Those old pictures can really hit you. Seeing how far I've come since starting injections is a great feeling.

That's a good point. It's important to consider how well your body is actually absorbing the medication, not just the cost.

You're not missing anything. And you don't need a different prescription or brand name right away. A lot of people don’t realize that patent expirations or price predictions don't immediately equal cheaper prices at the pharmacy. Your pharmacist may have just been talking about the fact that...

Yup, the patent expiring in January is just the first step. It'll likely be a while before we see those cheaper alternatives actually available to purchase.
