Weight Gain
Hey all. I’m super frustrated. I started wegovy back in January of 2021, I think I was only the second patient that my dr put on the drug. I have done fantastic. I started at 212 and I was down to 145 2 years later. For the most part… about a year ago I did not feel like wegovy was doing much for me anymore so I asked the dr to try me on zepbound. I didn’t lose any weight but I hadn’t gained much I was up to around 154, and honestly 145 was pretty short lived anyway.
Fast forward to the past couple of months. I went to my physical and weight in at 153 and I was fine with that. Within a couple of weeks after my appointment I can’t really explain it well but I just started to FEEL heavy I jump on the scale and I’m 158, no diet change no med changes etc. I weighed today and I am 163, my stomach feels awful all the time and just heavy and my clothes are fitting more snug. I’m not over eating, I’m tracking.
I will mention I’m a 43 year old female so the age of peri-menopause I suppose but from 153 to 163 is a big jump since March with no diet changes and tracking. I’m at a loss. It’s making me super depressed. I skipped my pcp and decided to schedule an appointment with my obgyn just cause of the bloating and change in period. How could I gain that much while on zep? And in other news my insurance just cut me off from it. I will have to probably start paying out of pocket but who knows it might not be worth it. I feel like Cinderella when the clock strikes midnight/ I’m so scared to gain it all back.
