This Might be Anecdotal…

Tips/Tricks

When I first started Zepbound, I was a loyal stomach injector. It worked as intended for the first 8 months and then the effect started to wane. The food noise crept back, along with hunger pangs and some weight gain. After waiting a few months for a rebound, I then decided to shake it up and inject into my thigh.

The thigh was the answer! I had to remind myself to eat, the weight dropped off, and I was satisfied with salad. Salad! The only problem is, I bruise like a peach. I have a cruise coming up and plan on being in a bathing suit a lot. Not wanting my hubby to be suspected of man handling me, I decided to go back to the stomach for the short while.

My shot day is Sunday and since then, I’ve gained 2 pounds. All of the food noise and cravings are back. I haven’t had a sausage McMuffin with egg in months but this morning I had to drive a different way to work in order to avoid temptation. Has anyone else had a similar experience or am I attributing my recent struggles to something arbitrary?
