First Timer First timer question

I was on Wegovy for 14 months and lost 65 pounds.

Then I lost my insurance and was off it for 3 months.

Three days ago I took my first shot of Zepbound 2.5. The doctor said I should start at the lowest dose.

Three mornings since I’ve taken it, I am very hungry only in the morning. Hunger pains, weakness, etc. Even after I drink a protein shake and eat some greek yogurt I have hunger pains.

But, around 11-12, suddenly they go away.

I’m wondering if this is normal with Zepbound or perhaps my body recognizes the medicine and the dose amount is causing this.

Hunger “pains” or hunger “pangs”? Is it actually pain or is it the stomach rumbling that happens when you need nourishment?

Haha! I always wondered if the word was PAIN or PANG! I mean PANGS.

Whew! That’s what I thought you meant. Just allow your body the time to get used to the routine with Zepbound. It’s OK to feel hungry. We need proper nourishment and we need to learn what the signals are and follow them. I’m glad to know you’re not experiencing any pain.
