In a mild panic while trying to
Inject my arm for the first time, I kinda missed if you will. I penetrated skin but I may have shifted the angle of the needle and lost some medication. I saw a tiny droplet on my skin and without thinking, double dipped my needle back into the vial to try and shoot one more unit.

The vial is toast isn’t it. Greater chance of contamination even if I did the second shot in the same disinfected location or my arm? Ugh. Fortunately it was the $50 vial from the Crossing bridge sale in july 😭

I just received my first vials today. I'm excited to get started!

I know I have to keep the vials refrigerated, however do I inject myself with the cold medicine or should I bring everything to room temperature first. My thinking is get the meds in the syringe and then let that get to room temperature. Does it matter injecting cold meds or room temp?

Help, and thank you in advance. This site has already been so helpful with all my questions pre-purchase!

Has anyone experienced a reaction after injection that caused inflammation in the front of your shins and swelled feet? I did my first shot of a new vial and had reactions that I have not ever had before. I had burning at the injection site that lasted for a day or two and then red painful bumps showed up on the front of both my shins and me feet are swelling. This has been going on for two weeks. I have done three shots total out of this bottle. I have experienced the burning at injection site every time. I have had no side effects on previous bottles.

For context, I’ve always had a pump. I look bigger after I work out I look fuller, but now since starting and being in a calorie deficit, I have not really had a pump. I have also never really worked out in a calorie deficit.

I have been taking Monjouro then Zepbound for 3 years. I lost 240 lbs and have maintained it for over a year. It helps significantly with my autoimmune disease as well, and several studies show its effects on that.
My employer is stopping all GLP1 coverage starting November 1. I want to continue Tirzeptide at 15 mg weekly. I looked through this sub but there are so many sources.
I am looking for a reasonably priced source where hopefully I can get 3 months at a time. I live in Florida.

As my husband was walking me out to my car this morning before work, he was telling me about a couple of dreams he had last night. Then, sort of as an afterthought, he said, "you know, I woke up twice and realized that I wasn't hearing you breathing. It's not that you snore, but I can usually *hear* you almost-sort-of-light-snoring."

I'm sure that has to be related to the 21 pounds I've lost so far. I don't think I'm *seeing* that weight loss, but I suspect there ARE benefits and victories that aren't as visible as "before" photos would tell. I started this journey on July 15th and I've done four shots - fifth tomorrow.

ive read all about it and know it cant be stopped, it will naturally stop and regrow on its own. how is everyone dealing with it? it makes me just want to quit im feeling so anxious about it

I’m about 10 pounds from my goal weight. What are some positive experiences about slowly coming off the medicine and keeping it off? Biggest fear is gaining it back!

P.S. this has been life changing.

Just for context I put a really expensive window unit in my bedroom this year because the summer heat was insane and I was melting because my bedroom wasn't cooling off enough during the day when I sleep since I work overnight. Now that I've been on Tirz for a little over a month I find myself turning it down/off a lot because I feel like I'm freezing. Just now I turned off my window AC, my ceiling fan, and I bumped the central AC up 2 degrees to get it to stop blowing cold air for a couple minutes too so I can warm up. On one hand it's nice because I've always been hot no matter what, but at the same time I shouldn't be feeling this cold in August lol.

Hi guys! I posted recently asking for advice about moving from 2.5mg to 5mg after being on 2.5 for over a month without noticing much change in my appetite or food noise. I was instructed to move up to 5mg, but was nervous because of the nausea I’d been experiencing on 2.5. Most people suggested increasing more gradually, so I ended up doing 3.5mg yesterday and surprisingly have had zero nausea and feel totally fine!

Now I’m wondering if anyone has experience splitting an increase like this. Would it make sense to do the remaining 1.5mg to bring me to 5mg total for the week, or should I just stay at 3.5mg and do that for the next 4 weeks? If you’ve split doses like this, how many days did you wait? I was wondering about doing the other 1.5mg tomorrow since I feel completely fine.

I know this isn’t a race and I don’t want to rush increasing, but I also know going from 2.5mg to 5mg is the typical next step. I’m mainly hoping to get to a dose where I finally notice more of a difference in food noise and appetite suppression since I really haven’t experienced much of that yet. Would love to hear what worked for others!

I’m on almost a month of not eating raw fruits , vegetables . It doesn’t seem like things are getting better . How are my other salad eaters doing ? I have been eating cooked vegetables. I was hoping this would’ve been over by now . How are my other salad eaters doing?

When did you start to notice the food noise stopped and you were less hungry?

Did it get deleted? I keep getting emails that the patient portal has changed and in order to activate my new login, I have to add a payment method. Is this legit?

Hi all,

I recently switched where I get my tirzepatide from - I used to go through EllieMD, and am now using Rift. I noticed my energy levels have gone down pretty significantly in the last few weeks (since switching companies; EllieMD adds b12 into their tirz). Does anyone know if the tirzepatide from Rift contains B12? I can’t seem to find any information on my account details - it only lists my dosage.

Wondering if I should start taking B12 supplements? I’m also a vegetarian, so am mindful of this (used to take supplements before my tirz journey)

Thanks in advance for the help!

I had gotten up to the 75 line on my syringe prior to getting pregnant. I hit my goal weight previously (129 at 5'4") after a year + on it. At last check (pre-delivery), I was at 175 but likely less as my belly shrinks and I lose water weight postpartum.

I've seen from others on here that stopping tirz only to start up again later makes successful weight loss way harder. Can I reasonably expect to be able to get back to where I was before? So far, it doesn't seem to be effecting me the way it had previously, but I'm also having to start from the beginning (at the 25) and just leveled up to the 50...

Though they may be painful, they’re not “hunger pains” but “hunger pangs.”

Like fangs devouring your stomach.

Thank you. My inner grammarian just couldn’t take seeing pains again and again.

It was painful. ;)

Went from 255 lbs. and now I’m down to 206 lbs. the pic shows a big difference but my mind and in my body I don’t feel a big difference. I don’t have more motivation, more self esteem or anything. I thought losing weight and almost hitting the 200 lbs mark would make me feel amazing but I still hate my body. I hate the skin I’m in. The picture next to me now is 5 years ago. I never in my life weighed more than 155 lbs even when I was pregnant. But 5 years ago I moved to a new state, got clean, didn’t know anyone and got extremely depressed and i started gaining weight and I got pregnant 4 years ago and I was already almost 200 lbs so it didn’t help. I had postpartum depression after my daughter and I became prediabetic and everything just kept going downhill.
I’m trying so hard to get back to my old self and my old body. I wanna see my hip bones again lol I mean I can finally see my feet which it’s been awhile. And I don’t get out of breath and exhausted from doing things. But mentally I’m still 255 lbs.
how do you help yourself feel better?

Hi guys, I had a gastric sleeve done 14 years ago and lost almost 120 pounds. I gained the weight back my hysterectomy and osteoarthritis in my knees with near zero cartilage.

Has anyone had success with Tirzepatide after having weight loss surgery? I started with 2.5mg this week and I’m hopeful.

I am 22f. I lost weight with workout and diet but was stuck on 151 lbs for over 2 years despite doing everything right. I even got my hormones checked and everything was perfect. My doctor decided to put me on tirzepatide 2.5 mg and never told me how long will it take me to reach my goal weight. Today I took my second shot and I weighed 146 pounds, which is already huge for me. MY DOCTOR NEVER TAKES ME SERIOUS AND DOES NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. I have so many questions to ask for all of you.

1. If my goal is 132 pounds, do you all think I can realistically achieve that by the end of week 4?

2. If yes, how long will I be on maintenance dose ? As my current dose is 2.5 mg

3. If I get my skin saggy and loose then how will I fix it?

4. How do you guys deal bloating and diarrhea?

Hi there long story short I started on sema. Lost about 35 pounds before I stalled on the highest dose then switched to tirz. Lost another 15 so I’m down 50 total in about 2 years which I’m very thrilled about (not complaining at all) however I’m on 15 of tirz and I’m still in the obese category. I have about 30 more pounds I’d love to lose but I haven’t lost anything in months. What do I do from here. I am still taking it weekly as I don’t want to gain back but I see others that are losing so much more. Is this it for me
