Six weeks into 7.5 and today was the first day I got through without the queasy stomach and food aversions that have been plaguing me. I'm down 38 lbs and honestly was starting to wonder if I'd have to bail on this dose. Curious if others found the rough patch just suddenly lifted around this point too?
Medications
Zepbound at 7.5mg - side effects easing up as of today
Mine got better around week five on 7.5, kind of overnight like you're describing. Down 40-some lbs myself and the queasy stretch was the worst part, but it really did just stop showing up one day. Hang in there, sounds like you're through it.
Down 67 myself, been sitting on 10 for a while since it's doing the job. The first day or two after injecting is when food noise basically vanishes for me too.
Glad the queasiness broke for you -- mine did the same thing around week six on 7.5, right when I'd almost convinced myself to drop back down. Down about 6 lbs so far and honestly the first few weeks felt like a lot of misery for slow numbers, so seeing it settle out gives me hope for keeping climbing.
60 down here and still on 10 like you, no rush to move since it's still working. My quiet stretch runs about two days after the shot, so your day and a half sounds pretty normal to me. Slow starts were my story too and it all evened out.
Down 29 and holding at 7.5, and I get the day and a half quiet thing - mine's similar, maybe stretching toward two. Interesting how the food noise window seems to shrink for some as the doses stack up. Slow start here too and it's still trending the right way.
Mine broke the same way on semaglutide around week five or six, like the queasiness just packed up overnight instead of fading slowly. Only down 3 lbs so far so I'm still in the slow-start club, but reading threads like this keeps me from bailing early.
Same pattern here on tirzepatide - the queasiness lifted almost overnight around week six instead of tapering off, and I'd been dragging through it on about 17 lbs of loss wondering if it was worth it. Hang in there, it sounds like you turned the corner.
Mine lifted around week seven on 7.5, same sudden thing - one day I realized I'd eaten a full dinner with zero drama. Down 48 lbs now and the rough stretch feels like a distant memory, so that corner-turning feeling is real.
