How's the appetite holding up on 2.5? I stayed there a while myself, and the food noise coming back mid week was the first thing I noticed.
Medications
Trizeptidedan
how's the lifting going now that you're a month in? I found my strength dipped a bit early on before it came back around.
What's helped you most with cravings at night? Did anyone warn you about the fatigue before you started?
Nighttime was my weak spot too and what actually helped was eating my last real meal earlier, like before 7. Did anyone tell you the first few weeks can come with some tiredness?
Night cravings got me too, and for me it was mostly habit. I started leaving the kitchen after dinner and it faded after a week or so.
Not on tirzepatide myself, I'm on saxenda, but the lifting part is what I'd lean into. Are you tracking your lifts at all? Mine stalled out for a few weeks when I wasn't eating enough to support the work.
You're already ahead of where I was at one month. The dose climb is what surprised me most, not the food side.
how are you handling the lifting while eating clean? I found my strength dipped for a couple weeks early on and had to dial the volume back before it came back
The lifting is the part I'd keep an eye on, my energy on injection day was garbage for the first couple months and I had to move my sessions around it. Curious whether you're noticing that yet.
The fatigue hit me hard on shot days for the first month or so. I started lifting the day before instead and it made a big difference for me.
curious how the lifting has held up for you. My squats tanked the first month until I started eating more before training.
Curious how your lifts have held up, mine tanked the first month until I got more protein in.
Curious how your lifts are holding up, mine dipped a bit the first month even with extra protein.
I was around your pace early on and the lifting took a hit for a few weeks before my body adjusted. My appetite on shot days was basically gone so getting enough food in before the gym was the tricky part
Did the appetite drop hit your lifting at all? That was the part I didn't see coming, eating enough got harder before the weight even started moving.
How's your appetite holding up on 2.5? Mine faded fast that first month and lifting got rough until I started front-loading protein at breakfast
Curious how the weightlifting is going now that the appetite is down. My lifts got shaky until I started timing protein around workouts, and that was the piece I had to figure out myself.
