Just gotta go for it....
Hello all! 👋 I am just about to start my Zepbound journey, and have been reading the posts here for a couple of days. The candor and the support are encouraging!
I was a healthy weight until over a decade ago at about the age of 28, when I developed a lot of hormonal issues, PCOS, thyroid disorder, depression, gallbladder removal and subsequent fatty liver, and all the medications involved with those things. I gained 120 pounds over 3 years, got to a weight of 297 and firmly stuck there ever since, no matter what. Recently my blood pressure has gone up and I've had enough. Weight loss would be great, although my main goal is to cut my risk factors for yet more issues going forward, resolve my elevated BP and slightly high cholesterol.
My biggest concern is heartburn/reflux, as I have been on metformin before and it caused no end of grief in that regard.
My 2.5 and 5 dose syringes are sitting in the fridge, waiting for me to take the plunge. 🙂
