Eating

Only eating when hunger actually hit made a big difference for me too, my first month on tirzepatide was slow like yours. Protein first has helped my numbers stay steadier -- I usually do eggs or Greek yogurt early, then something like chicken and veggies later. As a fellow insulin user, small consistent meals were way easier to match doses to than big ones.

Half a pound at two weeks was my pace too, and it picked up around month two without me changing much. I'm on the pill version and just stick to small protein-heavy stuff like eggs and leftover grilled chicken, which keeps my numbers predictable. Being careful with type 1 on top of this sounds like a lot, but slow starts seem pretty common here.

Slow start here too on Trulicity, and things picked up around week five without me doing anything different. Living in Tucson I basically live on eggs in the morning and grilled chicken with pico later, which keeps my portions small and easy to eyeball. Half a pound at two weeks sounds like the normal story around here.

Slow starts seem to be the norm based on this thread. I'm on Saxenda and my first weeks were barely moving too -- protein first like eggs in the morning made a big difference for keeping my blood sugar steady, which I'd guess matters even more for you with type 1.

You're crushing it honestly.

Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. My last check-up came back looking great.
