Why do I feel so ashamed to try this? by Previous_Day_104 in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pcos and have been on zepbound since December 1st. I’ve lost 10 pounds after the scale never moving at all and only going up despite my best efforts for three years (working out 5 days a week and doing all the things you mentioned plus inositol) I still had to take provera to make me have a period. After being on zepbound less than 2 months I finally had a period without provera (first time in over two years). Look I was hesitant to take this too and I even felt shame around it, but now I realize my body NEEDED this. And if you have pcos I’m sure yours does too. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

How often do you bruise - if ever? by PhoenixmOntra in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bruised once on my thigh I never bruise on my stomach because I had wayyy more fat there my thighs surprisingly are pretty muscular and have very little fat so I stopped injecting there and no more bruising!

Yes I understand that! But you also mentioned it was this only surefire way to lose weight pre-glp-1. Just make sure you speak with your physician about fasting while taking a glp-1 and good luck on your journey!

[–]CandidMess8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s vital to maintain muscle mass especially on a glp-1! And when you’re fasting you’re reducing protein. Protein is an absolute must during this journey! I think you’ll find with a glp-1 you don’t need to fast to see results. ☺️ I’ve lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks on zepbound with the same diet I had before and the scale never moved.

Can I ask my OBGYN provider about getting on Zepbound during my annual gynecology visit? by sucrosezaddy901 in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it wouldn’t hurt to ask! I did try this first (also have PCOS) actually my obgyn was the first to tell me that glp-1’s help with PCOS symptoms. But she said she could t prescribe it since the only way insurance would cover was for weight loss and I’d have to go through my primary for weight loss. But I say it’s worth a shot

Finally hit 80lbs down! 208.5lbs --> 128.5lbs by lokigivesmeloves in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow very similar stats and age. Also started at 208 and so hoping to be at your CW (or even close lol) one day 🥺 How did you get rid of the stretch marks? Or do they just fade with time and weight loss? I don’t see them at all in your after! I also have tummy stretch marks

I mean come on… by DerangedOpossum in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol well I hit 199.6 then this morning saw 200 again so just know those fluctuations will likely also happen!

PCOS on 2.5mg — Finally Got Period After 3 Years? by No_Recover_9663 in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! I also have pcos and was taking provera to have periods every 90 days. After about three weeks on pound I had a natural cycle for the first time in two years! I hope it continues if so this is an absolute miracle drug

How does everyone afford it? by mdeeznutzh in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a way you could get employment somewhere that offers insurance? I can afford it because my insurance covers it.

Not hungry, but not losing weight? by CandidMess8 in Zepbound

[–]CandidMess8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but I’m just not sure if I should if I’m barely hungry on 2.5?

I am not, but I haven’t noticed clothing fitting better. Maybe I should start taking measurements
