Starting Zepbound

Hi everyone 💛

I’m a 5’7 female currently weighing 286 lbs, and my doctor recently approved me to start Zepbound sometime in July/August. I’m excited, but definitely nervous too 😭

I’ve struggled with weight gain over the last several years due to a lot of life stress, and I’m finally feeling ready to make sustainable changes and improve my health long-term. My main goals are weight loss, improving my prediabetes/cholesterol risk, and just feeling better physically overall.

I’d love to hear from people with similar starting stats:
✨ What were your expectations vs. reality on Zepbound?
✨ How much weight have you lost and over what timeframe?
✨ What were your side effects actually like?
✨ Any tips for the first few weeks/months?
✨ Anything you wish you knew before starting?

I’m especially anxious about nausea/GI side effects, so success stories and realistic experiences would really help 🫶

Trying to go into this with a balanced mindset instead of extremes. Thanks in advance 💕
