Can I just vent for a second about i missed my shot day by?
I know this forum is evidence-based and I love that about it, but sometimes you just need to let it out. I hit another plateau and I am frustrated.
Not looking for a fix necessarily — just solidarity. Anyone else going through this right now?
tammy_FL's experience with I missed my shot day by 2 resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I titrated faster. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 44 lbs in 9 months.
One thing I would add that tammy_FL did not mention: the relationship with food fundamentally changed.
Thanks for sharing this, tammy_FL. A few questions about your I missed my shot day experience:
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on I missed my shot day by 2.
To answer GenomicsKate: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.
Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Relevant to I missed my shot day by 2 days — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 197 → 97 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 13 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
