Spilling the Tea: My Week 1 Results and Side effects on Zepbound

[@TT-dx6nc]

I took my first zepbound shot just this past Wednesday, i hadn’t got any side effects but tiredness next day after my shot, but no headaches dizziness or any feelings of vomiting. I had up my water intake as i was getting a little constipation. But just like you I’m not as hungry anymore. Even today when i woke up this morning,I wasn’t hungry but i made sure i ate just not as much as i used too. Your videos helps me a lot. We are doing this together ❤

[@KetosisMom]

exactly you aren't thinking about food. but it's making it really easier for me to just say ok I need protein and actually just get out protein and eat it and move on

[@KetosisMom]

I'm not thinking "ah man I wish I had ....xyxz ...instead" which IS GREAT!

[@fawnpate9223]

Have my consult appointment on monday. Came across your video and it’s so helpful. You have covered everything.

[@KetosisMom]

oh yay! that's great to hear. I am on week 34 now and have documents each week basically and in the news events too. Glad this helped!

[@shazanakhan9807]

9 days in and lost 12.9lbs. Im supper happy with that.

[@KetosisMom]

that's a LOT! are you on Zepbound?

[@Orangeorange_1]

Girl you are amazing just subscribed. I appreciate all of your information. Keep up the great work. I've been on Zep since Jan 30th. I'm on 5.0 I need to eat more protein and exercise more your tips were helpful greatly appreciated ❤

[@KetosisMom]

don't we all though haha Yes I figured out from the last WW call I was on that a lot of ppl don't realize why losing muscle is bad they think lbs are lbs lost period. I need to review that next video

[@BellaNicole88]

Omg I had no idea the neck and shoulder pain was from the shot. I’m so glad I saw this

[@KetosisMom]

hahaha Yes I was not told it was a thing either so when it happened I started looking at forums and asking and got a lot of feedback from it haha Definitely a thing!

[@Mel6.4]

im one day post shot (my first shot) and I totally having neck and shoulder pain!

[@katelynmarie424]

I’m on 2 months of zepbound and have lost 15lbs (which is way fast for me but slow in comparison to others). For me, I’m with you, I don’t necessarily eat less, I’m just able to make better choices bc my body isn’t craving food/sugar all day.

[@KetosisMom]

I have been eating so much more than I normally do. but it's whole foods. I used to think I could only eat low carb to lose weight but I'm seeing now that'd not the case. my favorite thing right mow Is baked potato and a picked of fish

[@marciadavis6330]

Hello’ just watched your video, you had some great tips ! I am in MJ right now I’m trying to stay on 7.5 , I have had the rest and the higher doses from 10-15 I was a zombie. But it will be a year next month and I’m hanging in there and trying to reach my goal. Glad to see you on here my daughter is starting the zepbound as soon as her doctor gets things together with insurance. Nice to see you you did a great job , good info!!

[@KetosisMom]

Yes I'm afraid to go that high in dose. so I'm taking it super slow! but documenting the whole journey!

[@marciadavis6330]

I just turned 70 and I thought with being older and a few health issues I was having a harder time. I’ve seen a couple people in their 60s but not so much my age .

[@debff1968]

Hi. Glad to meet u. I’m on week 3 of Zepbound. I pay $550 with coupon n doing good. My insurance doesn’t have it on the formallery. Hope so soon. I’m on ww too. I do the app not the clinic

[@KetosisMom]

I get the app with the clinic but it's laid out a little differently but I like it!

[@jc10907Sealy]

Factor in the reduction of grocery and eating out costs and that $550 gets reduced. Worth it as the medicine is life-changing!

[@KetosisMom]

@jc10907Sealy I was just reading a news article saying grocery stores are complaining bc ppl are spending LESS on groceries! haha so this rings very very true. Factor in the Starbucks and the Chickfila I don't go get multiple times a week now. Savings!!!

[@HelenBagnall-w8c]

In the UK we call that type of neck pain a 'cricked neck'. I've also had this since started Mounjaro. I didn't make the connection between the two things until now so thank you.

[@KetosisMom]

Yes on my week 2 video I show where I found a whole thread on Reddit with people with the same thing. Most say it goes away 24 hrs after the injection. but each time you up the titration it comes back. Also...haha.. in the "South" East US we call it a "crick in yer neck" I just didn't want to get that southern on the video LOL

[@carriewoodruff6675]

I'm just having clinic intake 9/17! Your video encouraged me to join! Great experience and need what milk or replacement for milk did you use in banna pudding..? Any other protein dessert tips ❤ God Bless you for sharing!

[@KetosisMom]

I actually don't use milk. So, I do this "easy" haha I take the Dairy free Yogurt I get from Kroger (you can get individual ones or a larger one) and I get it in vanilla. You can typically find almond milk, coconut milk etc for dairy free yogurt but look at the labels bc some are HIGH Protein. Those are what I aim for. ❤ *so delicious, silk, oui taste the best* then oikos and ratio (at walmart) I think are 25g of protein. All I do is take sugar free banana pudding mix... sprinkle just enough of that to FLAVOR the vanilla yogurt. Mix in a scoop of cool whip (bc its not real cream) cut up banana slices and I use the Mini Nilla wafers! I typically only make 1 serving portions at a time but now my daughter loves them too. and wants to make it also (she's 5) ... if a 5 year old thinks it's delicious... It is!

[@KetosisMom]

I will make one for you tomorrow and film it and include it in a clip on my video upload this week! Deal? It's my week 31 video so look for it to post either Thurs night or Fri! ❤that way you can see what I do!

[@guzzogina2654]

Thank you for sharing all the information !

[@KetosisMom]

absolutely! I just posted an update for week 3 just now as well :)

[@Josh-Stewart]

I just prescribed Zepbound. I’m waiting on a prior authorization as well. Hopefully my insurance will cover it. I have health issues and this help be a tremendous tool for me to lose weight

[@Rough-Crocheter]

Once in a while I will add sliced fruit. Thank you for all your great advice.

[@KetosisMom]

I have to keep reminding myself to eat fruit. I went so many years not eating fruit on keto unless it was a handful of blueberries or maybe 3 strawberries. I'm just trying to be better overall with eating!

[@CP-hj9wu]

I started in November 22. 2.5 worked 3 months for me. I went to 5 mg and have been on that dose until recently. I just moved to 7.5 mg. I only moved up if it wasn’t working for me.

[@KetosisMom]

you mean if you weren't losing... or it was not controlling appetite ?

[@CP-hj9wu]

@@KetosisMom both. The food noise returned and I wasn’t losing any weight or inches. I was on 5 mg for close to 1 year. I had a pretty good run with 5. I waited about 3 months to see if anything changed and it didn’t. My doctor agreed it was time to try 7.5. I just started a few days ago. The food noise is gone and my appetite is suppressed.

[@KetosisMom]

@@CP-hj9wu I was actually wondering how long ppl were staying on each level

[@CP-hj9wu]

@@KetosisMom I wanted to stay on 5 as long as possible. If it is working, why go up 🤷‍♀️

[@KetosisMom]

@CP-hj9wu I saw on the clinical trial chart they moved ppl up every 4 weeks to get to the 15 then tampered them back down after the weight was lost. but that kinda makes me nervous

[@jamicarpenter8760]

My sweet…be very careful with tropical fruit. It’s a sugar bomb. I LOVE THEM, but I limit to 1/4 cup a day and I’m pretty sure it’s messing up my weight loss 😞, but I love it with cottage cheese. I’m probably going to give it up for a few weeks and see if it is effecting my scale dancing around.

[@KetosisMom]

I only ever do pineapple bc it helps break down protein! bromelian

[@carriewoodruff6675]

How do I get to all of the items you use..teas.. recipes. Weights.. I don't see links? Thank you

[@tiffanyaris]

I had head and neck pain as well, although my neck pain was gone by day two my head was still hurting all day the next day. I don’t know if this is a good side effect, and I’m hoping it doesn’t happen when I do my second shot.

[@KetosisMom]

I know this is going to be an annoying question bc I always find it to be as well haha But are you excessively drinking water? I noticed I had to try and overdo my water the first few weeks especially!

[@tiffanyaris]

@@KetosisMom Yes I’ve been crazy about drinking water, the third day and now the fourth day I’ve had absolutely zero side effects so should I be worried about the neck and headache the first two days?

[@KetosisMom]

@tiffanyaris I had the exact same thing and I never had it again. I would say that if it returns you need to bring it up to your prescriber!

[@tiffanyaris]

@@KetosisMom Okay I definitely will, I’m hoping it doesn’t because this has been such a good tool for me to have and it’s working! Thank you for replying and answering my questions. 😊

[@KetosisMom]

@@tiffanyaris I never had it again after my very 1st. so fingers crossed for you to be the same

[@sandrar9608]

Did they put you on medication for Sibo? I can eat all that stuff after I was treated 3 times. 6 months apart.

[@KetosisMom]

I have been on 2 rounds of antibiotics now but I have not seen it helping TBH

[@tyhoward1315]

Thanks for the info and sharing your experience

[@KetosisMom]

I had a hard time finding anyone doing videos like this outside of "experts" that weren't even taking nor have they ever taken the drug. 😂 Other than that it was just ppl sitting on shorts saying small tidbits but not suggestions on how they handled it or what they did..I hope to keep making videos that help and give some insight into the actual experience. Like right now I cannot even obtain the drug

[@jessicacotton1833]

Those aches were real the 1st 48hrs after my 1st injection. i took my second injection last night and i have aches again. It feels like ive been lifting weights or sleeping on the floor. its such a weird feeling.

[@KetosisMom]

you got those aches again after your 2nd shot? have you made your care team aware?

[@jessicacotton1833]

@KetosisMom yeap I did n no not yet my follow up is next week. I'm Journaling everything I feel. But I joined some fb groups today n there's alot of others talking about this. Just glad to see others r experiencing it because youtube dsnt have lots of ppl rakkjng about it especially to the extent I have the pain. It's like 3 ppl including you that's even mentioned pain

[@KetosisMom]

@jessicacotton1833 just make sure you're paying attention and listening to your own body. These work for some people and not for others. there are plenty of other options coming out soon in the pipeline. If you cannot take how this makes you feel, you may want to hold out for one of those. I actually found that most ppl were doing nothing but singing praises of these drugs and never discussing what was actually happening to them, and when, and how long it lasted etc. I also feel like in clinical trials a lot of the patients don't mention things like this bc they don't want to miss out on participating in the trial. Keep me posted on of it clears up, or continues, and what your Dr says. Are you on zepbound (brand) Injector?

[@JtLadawnn]

Hi 👋🏽. Enjoying your vids 😊 Does having access to the WW tracking app come with the monthly Clinic membership or is that a separate subscription to pay for?!

[@KetosisMom]

Yes you do! It's one of my favorite things bc it automatically updates my protein g each time I update my weight so I don't even have to think about it! I also saw that the points is now an option with the clinic side as well of you prefer the points but honestly I have REALLY enjoyed the protein circle and then the fruit and veggies circle (and they track your water too) it also tracks your fitness you can either wear a tracker ...i.e. fitbit , garmin, apple watch etc and it will auto track your fitness or you can manually log it in as well. I find it REMINDS ME I need to eat more and drink more water! that alone I would probably pay for lol 😆

[@MaiseyMoo13]

I’ve seen the Starbucks egg bites at Costco.

[@KetosisMom]

that's exactly where I get them! I have been trying to make a coffee with protein powder at home and heat those egg bites so I think I'm having Starbucks haha The veggies made great muffins are also at Costco right now (or there were at mine) also a great way to meet veggies goals!

[@NPAMike]

@@KetosisMom the egg bites are pretty easy to make, i make them in a muffin pan.

Hi! What veggie muffins at COSTCO?

Zepbound Odyssey or Pilgrimage?😊

Did that happen to you again after your second shot?

[@ddtaliaferro1]

For those of you using WW clinic did you pay an additional fee for that service?

[@KetosisMom]

I believe it's $86/month to have the virtual Dr and Careteam plus the App to log food - nutrition and fitness team. To me it's work it for all of that

Congratulations on your weight loss! What was your starting weight?

I've gotten this question a lot in the past few weeks so I'm going to go into what I eat on a daily basis next week and show everyone what I lost during keto prior to this as well to show the comparison! I am still losing and posting the week 19 video this AM

[@SemperUbi_SubUbi]

I feel like all credibility is ruined once people start peddling products: stanley, tea, massager, etc. Why should we believe Zepbound is just another product you're pushing.

[@KetosisMom]

Bc I'm actively taking it and have 24 weeks of a vlog documenting my journey lol I don't really get why it matters that I show products I am using or trying along the way. if you don't like it ... you also don't have to watch. im a full time content creator for my work, and sells FUND my staying home to do creator work instead of going to sit behind a desk. I dont find it any different than the pll who ask you to just venmo or cashapp them for their video today. I'm trying to build a community of people also on this journey and seeing what they're going through, buying to help, or giving up. Not to argue with people who want to criticize someone showing what mug they use. Seems a little hyper focused. And... as if another creator is asking people to come and make comments on products I show instead of listening to the weekly update or participating in conversation (again).
