54 lbs down since Jan 2026
If someone told me it would take for me to get breast cancer and be told I have to have a delayed reconstruction because my BMI was too high to be a wake up. Call that I was too fat. Every time I will go to the doctor for my annual checkup basically my primary doctor she was like oh your BMI it’s like 32 your AC levels and blood pressure is good. But in 2024 I lost my mother to breast cancer and during that time I was stressed so I went from From 190 pounds to 273 by the time I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025 so before I had my double mastectomy I had to go see the plastic surgeon and he told me there was no way I could have reconstruction because my BMI was too high.
Then after I had my double mastectomy medically induced into menopause, that’s when my primary doctor stepped in. It was like OK I’m gonna put you on Zepbound because you’ll never get reconstruction being 273 pounds. I’m 5 foot 10 and I was like OK I hope it works and I started at 2.5 and I was at 2.5 dosage for the first like four months but my weight stall then I went to the next dose that was like 5 mg and then didn’t do anything so then she put me at the 7.5 that I am on now and that seems to work and now I can get my reconstruction 1/6/2027.
Even though people told me girl you’re losing weight is it because of the breast cancer? I never said anything about me being on Zepbound because I know how people look down on you or whatever I just never said anything because I stay in the house basically but I do exercise. I run on my treadmill four times a week and I walk my dog two times a day. I still can’t believe the difference makes from 273 to 219 still in shock that I’ve lost 54 pounds and I’ve never had any side effects from the shot never any constipation or nausea the whole time.
My ultimate goal weight is 165.
