After waiting over 2 months, I finally got my starting doses! Any tips and advice you’d give a first timer?

So I live overseas and had been on the waitlist for either WeGovy or Zepbound to be available, and after over 2 months, I finally got Zepbound! While waiting, I’ve been working on lifestyle and diet changes and have lost 10 lbs naturally, but I’m so ready for bigger changes!

But I’m also so terrified. Just the thought of injecting scares me. And the horror stories of nausea and possible side effects is a little scary too, though I rather take my chances than deal with the future problems of obesity.

I won’t be starting until next week after I’ve had a phone consultation with my doctor to go over how we’ll be moving forward once I’ve started and hopefully order my next doses since my fear is that I won’t have my next doses by the time I finish these four.

Guess I’m just looking for encouragement, and would appreciate any and all tips and advice for this journey. Looking forward to be an active member in here!
