4 month progress update- met goal!

I’ve been on Tirzepatide 2.5 mg weekly for 16 weeks now and officially met my goal of 130 yesterday. That’s 27# down! I’m 48, 5’4”, starting weight 157#, perimenopause. I lift 5 days a week with the ladder app. I used to be a big cardio queen but don’t do much anymore (besides walking at work as a nurse, and walking my dog at home). My originally goal was 130-135. Then when I got to 135 I thought maybe if should be 125-130. I’m going to work on sticking with 130 but building muscle. Will need to decrease the med at some points since my appetite is still so low it’s hard to meet my protein and calories.

8 week break for surgery?

My surgeon wants me to stop 4 weeks before surgery and stay off 4 weeks after. I’m in maintenance and currently take 15 mg every week. Any else told they needed so much time off? My surgeon wasn’t super happy about the glp1 in general and said I should get off it. My primary doctor and oncologist are supportive of continuing indefinitely.

NewLife Rx, Apothecary, Hyalo, HealthWealth. Different pharmacies, one common connection. Why aren’t more people questioning it?

Everyone keeps discussing Apothecary, Hyalo, and Healthwealth as if they’re completely unrelated pharmacies. But there’s one company that keeps showing up in the middle of it all and it’s NewLife Rx.

These aren’t just random pharmacies being mentioned together. There are documented business relationships connecting all three to NewLife’s fulfillment network.

I spent some time looking into the public records and statements, and here’s what I found…

\*\*1. NewLife Rx and Quaker Community Pharmacy\*\*
Quaker Community Pharmacy openly identifies itself as operating under the NewLife Rx name. NewLife is also a pharmacy fulfillment platform that contracts with other pharmacies to supply compounded medications.

\*\*2. Apothecary Pharma\*\*
Apothecary was previously compounding medications distributed through NewLife. In December 2025, the FDA issued Apothecary a warning letter documenting serious sterile-production deficiencies, labeling problems, and other regulatory violations.

This isn’t speculation. It’s an actual FDA warning letter.

\*\*3. Hyalo Technologies\*\*
In August, telehealth providers announced that NewLife would stop fulfilling Apothecary products and transition to Hyalo, another 503B pharmacy, with a similar formulation.

Now we’re seeing numerous patient reports of visible particles and fibers in Hyalo vials. NewLife has acknowledged these reports, paused Hyalo shipments, and announced an investigation.

\*\*4. Healthwealth Pharmacy\*\*
Following the Hyalo problems, NewLife publicly identified Healthwealth as another pharmacy partner and replacement option.

Meanwhile, patients have also reported particles in Healthwealth vials, including orders fulfilled through VitaScripts rather than NewLife. That’s an important distinction, but it raises additional questions about the manufacturing and supply chains.

\*\*5. FDA inspection records\*\*
As of the FDA’s September 30, 2026 list:
Apothecary had been inspected and previously received a warning letter.

Hyalo was registered as a 503B but had not yet been inspected by the FDA.

Healthwealth registered as a 503B on July 21, 2026, and had not yet been inspected.

At what point do we stop treating these as isolated incidents? We have documented business relationships, an FDA warning letter, and now reports of visible particles involving multiple pharmacies connected to the same fulfillment network.

Being separate legal entities doesn’t mean these companies have completely independent supply chains. Are they sourcing ingredients from the same manufacturers? Sharing formulations or manufacturing resources? What role does NewLife actually play beyond coordinating fulfillment?

And more importantly, what due diligence is NewLife and the telehealth companies doing before moving patients from one pharmacy to another?

I’m not suggesting every incident has the same cause, but there’s a common business connection here that deserves more scrutiny.

Night Sweats

I’m a 40-year-old female and have been on tirzepatide (4 mg) for roughly 1.5 years. I’m 5’6”, started at 157 lbs, and am currently 144 lbs. I’m happy with my weight and just maintaining at this point. I exercise regularly and eat healthy.

One thing I’ve been struggling with is night sweats. I’m waking up drenched, to the point where I have to change my clothes in the middle of the night.

I genuinely can’t figure out whether it’s my bedding, perimenopause, or possibly the tirzepatide.

I recently started tracking which nights I sweat to see if there’s any correlation with my menstrual cycle.

Has anyone experienced night sweats while taking tirzepatide and eventually ruled it out as the cause? Or did you find that tirzepatide actually was contributing?

Not looking for medical advice, just interested in hearing other people’s experiences and whether anyone has managed to pinpoint the cause. Thanks!

I know this is dumb but I am happy I ordered tirz successfully in maintenance

I used my starting weight and told them my goal weight and wrote a note that I was in maintenance. Uploaded a photo of my 15mg pill bottle, I was afraid they might reject me but they approved me without any issue. I guess I was afraid they'd reject me because basically my intake was my whole tirz story and it might look weird that I said I'm in maintenance but I said my weight was so high. I think they either didn't care, didn't even look closely or they understood. Anyway, I went with Preventive and got the Boudreaux tirz, the only option available for my state.

I haven't ordered anything since April and with all the fuss happening with Hyalo I wanted to make sure I got some tirz stocked up in case anything terrible is about to happen. Still working my way through some BPI and ProRx. Kinda bummed I never got any of the good Hyalo before all this, but oh well. The ingredients for Boudreaux look similar to BPI and I lost all my weight on BPI and so I'll always be a fan of BPI. The cleanest 503b there ever was. Thanks, FDA 🙄.

Cholesterol Numbers

I’ve been maintaining on 2-2.5 mg for months and had my fasting bloodwork done this week. Unfortunately my cholesterol numbers are awful. I stopped my Crestor thinking the tirzepatide would help, but that didn’t happen. Genetic cardio vascular disease runs in my family so I guess that is what is happening. I have gotten off my blood pressure meds and my glucose is normal for the first time in years, so I’m going to be happy with that. Just disappointed.
