[@exo1998]

This is so practical. I love your advice on injection day

[@2.0mommy]

Yeah I didn’t realize that till after but it was too late, so Thursdays it is! 😂

[@myotheraccountonothe]

Thanks so much for your videos, I am starting to feel more confident about stated my Zepbound journey. Love your kitchen.❤

[@2.0mommy]

I’m so glad it’s helpful! You’re going to have amazing success! Slow and steady, but you’ll get there!

[@emjaylhr]

I’m about to start my Zepbound journey. Thank you for your tips!!

[@2.0mommy]

I’m sooooo excited for you!!! When do you start? The main thing is to keep up with water and be careful with constipation so you don’t end up feeling uncomfortable. Also, avoid greasy foods as much as possible. A lot of people run into problems with that. Please reach out with ANY questions!! So happy for you!!

[@emjaylhr]

@@2.0mommyI’m picking it up from the Pharmacy this Friday. I’m being wise on my start date since I work in office Mon/Tue and don’t want to be have any side effects if I get it. I’m officially starting it next Wednesday. I’m scared yet hopeful it will work. I’ll continue to watch your vids as I go along. Thank you!

[@2.0mommy]

@@emjaylhr smart! Very smart! I seriously am so excited for you!! I can’t tell you how much it’s changed my life as corny as that sounds lol 😂 🙈

[@thesleevednana]

i took my first 5 mg shot this past Thursday. I can feel the "magic" in comparison to the 2.5 for sure!

[@2.0mommy]

Amazing how it works, right!!! So happy you’re finding success with it too!

[@thesleevednana]

@@2.0mommy thank you!

[@bibidestin]

Love these videos! 🤍

[@2.0mommy]

Aww thank you! 🙏🏽 💕💕🤗

[@margueritevoigt2827]

Thank you for your videos! I just took my fourth 5 mg shot so I think I am two weeks further than you. I agree nausea like you are 6 weeks pregnant lol. But I think, well, it’s keeping me from eating lol You give great and sound advice ❤. You have a beautiful kitchen!

[@2.0mommy]

@margueritevoigt2827. Yes, the nausea definitely kept me eating less 🙈😂 I love how effective this medication is and it’s amazing that it’s helping so many people. 💪🏼👏🏼🎉 Also, thanks for the compliment on the kitchen!It was a lot of work, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. 💕

The best protein powder is Sun Warrior. Plant based and pretty clean.

[@2.0mommy]

I’ll check that out, thanks! I buy premier because it’s cheap, but you get what you pay for. 😅

[@germaninsider7890]

I had brutal side effects for 5 days couldnt eat or even drink and needed infusion, when going from 2,5 to 5mg to fast after already 4 weeks. I went back to 2,5 for another 4 weeks after that i never had any problems anymore. Im on 7,5mg now, lost 30kg, hb1c is 6,0 and i am feeling great. (6 months in)

[@2.0mommy]

That’s awesome!! I agree, staying on each dose as long as possible is the way to go. That’s been my game plan from the beginning, the goal is to stay on the lowest, effective dose. So happy you’re doing great on 7.5! Congratulations on your weight loss and better health!! ✨👏🏾💕💕👊🏽💪🏽

[@germaninsider7890]

I really think you need to give your body and brain time to adapt to the new situation, especially with being able to do training, build up muscle again, change daily habits (like using the stairs again instead of an elevator). Besides, when building up muscles, you will naturally lose less weight in the beginning until your metabolism jump starts. I had 2 months without any weight loss but kept doing my exercises and training etc. And boom after that, I was back to 1 to 2 kg weight loss per week. 7.5mg seems a good sweet spot with enough wiggle room later. I am more driven by my sugar figures than the weight loss though. The latter is a great side effect though hehe.

[@2.0mommy]

@@germaninsider7890 yes, totally agree. 😊 and getting your glucose in normal range is amazing! The weight loss will follow after that. Good job!!👏🏽🤗🥳

[@Terence_317]

Thanks for the advice 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@2.0mommy]

Absolutely! Should have mentioned that Fridays are a good day to start because you’ll have the maximum appetite suppression for the weekend which is probably when we eat the most! 🙈😅

[@Terence_317]

Oh ok I always been doing Sundays maybe I’ll try that I’m on 15mg started MJ last may 28th I was 523 pounds now I’m 358 pounds and I’m not even a year in yet been going to gym 5 days a week this medicine has changed my life!! Only side I have is the constipation and yes I have plenty on miralax and Metamucil lol been thru it all and of course stay hydrated gotta keep up with water I found out to 😊

[@2.0mommy]

@@Terence_317 165 pounds!!!!! Congratulations!!! 🥇👏🏼⭐️🤩That’s incredible. It’s great that you’re already making a habit of going to the gym. Your heart is thanking you for that and all the hard work you’ve put in! Keep up the amazing work!! 💪🏼

[@mw8634]

Great job!​@@Terence_317

[@Mommaslew]

Only one shot in….but probiotic and magnesium have me at status quo!😊

[@1hotshon]

4 injections down and my side effects were pretty minimal... Honestly only constipation (which I'm already prone to), so miralax every few days keeps me flushed! I wonder if it will get worse when I titrate up 🤔

[@2.0mommy]

You should be fine, even if you don’t feel 100% the first couple of days after injections, it’ll only last a couple of weeks until your body gets used to it. I dealt with fatigue the first 2-3 days after injections once I went up to 5mg. But it was short lived! I think you’ll great especially since you haven’t had any issues so far. ☺️🙏🏽💕

[@maryd7081]

How long should I stay on 2.5. I’m on my 3rd injection & have had some D in the mornings but otherwise feel ok. I’m nervous to go to 5mg.

[@2.0mommy]

Hi! I’d say to stay on 2.5 as long as it’s working. Typically most stay on it 4 weeks. But if it’s still working, there’s no rush. I was only on it for 2 weeks because I was using the samples the dr gave me, but then the shortage happened and I had to go to 5mg. I’ve been on 5mg since April. I had no trouble moving up to 5mg. I had more side effects with my first injection.

[@lancewalker207]

Just took my 3rd injection and I’ve had no side effects at all! 8 pounds down…

[@2.0mommy]

Yay!!! So excited for you!!! Are you on 2.5mg? 8lbs in 3 weeks is awesome!! I say it all the time and I feel so corny, but this medication has changed my life. I’ve lost 58lbs since February! I’m so happy thing are going well. 🤗🙏🏽💕Thanks for watching!!

[@CompleteMisc]

Does everyone get nausea? I have only done 1 injection so far (6 days ago) and had no nausea or other negative reaction. Should I expect it to come?

[@2.0mommy]

Hi! No it really just depends on you. I felt the most nauseous the first two injections, but none since then. Sometimes people are fine with the loading dose of 2.5 but feel a little more effects for 5mg. For me it was the opposite though. Are you happy with it so far? I hope you’re finding that it’s helping with food noise and appetite suppression. 🙏🏽💕

[@germaninsider7890]

If you increase the dose to fast.

[@ontherunjg]

My Dr prescribed me anti nausea medication. Have not needed it so far.

[@2.0mommy]

@@ontherunjg That’s a good point. I’ve heard others say the same thing. ☺️

[@rubybayan4334]

Great multitasking😂

Thank you! 😂 Thanks for watching, hope you found it helpful. 🙏🏽💕
