Same thing here at day 4-ish, hunger definitely creeps back even though I'm still trending down a few pounds, so I try not to read much into it. Swapping between thigh and belly didn't seem to make any difference for me on how long the effect lasts.
Zepbound injection site rotation tips?
Day 4 hunger hitting me too, and I'm down 45 lbs so it clearly hasn't stopped my losses. Rotating thigh/belly/arm never changed how long the effect lasted for me either, so I wouldn't stress over it.
Nice milestone, congrats on the 50-something. I got lazy about rotation too until a sore spot showed up, so now I just use belly one week, thighs the next, and a note on my phone keeps me straight. Thighs work fine for me, just a touch more of a sting going in.
A phone note has been my savior too, otherwise I genuinely cannot remember what I did last week. Thighs worked fine for me on Saxenda, just a bit more of a sting than the belly, so now I go belly, left thigh, right thigh in a loop and the tenderness went away. Congrats on 55, that is a big drop.
Same here, week-long fade around day 4 even though I've only dropped 14 lbs so far. Tried every site combo and it made zero difference for me, so now I just expect the hunger back late in the week and plan meals around it.
Thighs have been my go-to on Trulicity since the belly started feeling tender too, and I just alternate left/right leg each week so I never need to think about it. A calendar note helps but honestly the sore spot itself reminds me where not to go. Congrats on the 55, that's a huge drop.
Congrats on 55, that's awesome. I'm only 13 lbs in but found the same thing with my belly getting cranky after too many shots in one zone, so I started mapping my stomach into quadrants and moving one quadrant each week. When I run out I use thighs, which sting a touch more for me but work just as well.
I just do left thigh one week, right thigh the next, back and forth forever. Only a few pounds down so far but thighs have never given me the soreness my stomach did after back-to-back shots there.
Keep showing up for yourself. That update just made my whole day. That's a huge win, enjoy it. Take it with a grain of salt, every body reacts differently.
I do stomach left, stomach right, then thighs, cycling through like that and it keeps the soreness away for me. Thighs hit a little slower in my experience but the shot itself is easier to reach. Congrats on 55, that is serious progress at 7.5.
