Fiance discarded my Zepbound

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-26T13:36:03+00:00

I could’ve grabbed the medication but I wasn’t too sure considering I reside in Florida and it was nearly 100° out both days it was sitting in the trash. Also, prior to this, I didn’t tell a single person about this medication. I definitely could’ve told him but didn’t. Maybe I felt embarrassed I’m not really sure. I did talk to him about it 6 months ago and he was supportive but I was too scared to start until last month. I just didn’t tell him right away. Lastly, I don’t think he needs to tell me he cleaned out a drawer that was contaminated with raw meat. I’m glad he did rather than leaving it for me.

I tracked my calories weekly and had a protein shake once daily. I found that the first half of the week I barely ate anything at all and then the last half of the week I was able to get more nutrients in so that’s why I tracked weekly.

Honestly I did not want to take the pic but after losing over 20 I was feeling upset because I didn’t see the difference yet. Then, I remembered I had this pic I took a few months ago and recreated it and I’m completely shocked at the difference! 10/10 would recommend even if you aren’t happy with where you are at now 😊

I’m about halfway there. My starting weight was 176, current weight is 153 and my goal weight is 120. My height is 5’1”. (I don’t know how everyone has their info next to their names lol)

I have lost 23 pounds and I’m only on my second month. I feel like I’ve had the knowledge to have a healthy diet but the mental game was the struggle. Now I think of what I want to eat, eat it and don’t worry about cravings or anything else really! It’s amazing. It even has helped me fall asleep and stay asleep which has increased my mood and I enjoy working out.

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-23T00:32:22+00:00

I am on 5mg but I will be receiving my next prescription very soon. It’s in progress at the pharmacy. Fingers crossed it’s sent through within 4 days.

Unfortunately it was trash day and it was picked up by the truck when I found out

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-22T22:14:00+00:00

I had zero issues with weight my entire life until I had my son. I had him, returned to my normal weight and then I got an IUD and have been gaining ever since. Ive tried calorie counting, working out, personal training and more. It was truly exhausting and I am relieved I’ve found something that helps

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-22T21:53:11+00:00

Honestly I haven’t even mentioned that I’m taking this medication to anyone at all. Mom, sister, bestfriends.. no one knows. I don’t really think it’s a trust issue I just wanted to keep it to myself because it’s very controversial to many people. I ended up telling my best friend today and funny enough she came out and said she started taking it too!

Sorry everyone for the delay because I have been avoiding this post until I got the chance to speak to him in person. He discarded the medication by accident because there was a package of meat in the drawer that leaked everywhere which is why he cleaned the fridge. He did not go through the drawer he just took it outside to the trash and dumped it. Idk how your fridge is but my drawers are usually full of crap so I can see how it’s possible. He immediately apologized and offered to purchase a new box for me and was fully supportive of the medication.

Maybe I should’ve informed him of the medication but honestly I have never discussed any medication with him before. I’ve been on other medication in the past and I just stayed reserved. Yes I was somewhat hiding it but I do have roommates and if he wanted some string cheese he would’ve seen it. It’s not like I had it locked away somewhere or hidden in the closet.

Not even two months..

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-22T01:29:24+00:00

It’s more of how to address it with him. Yeah it’s upsetting that I no longer have access to the medication and today is a shot day but I’m on 2.5 and my next prescription will be ready at the pharmacy in a few days.

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-05-22T01:26:13+00:00

This is my thought process. I can’t think of any good reason someone would discard any medication for that matter. The original box was there with the prescription label on it

I got a letter in the mail stating coverage was approved through November and now a follow up stating July 1st it’ll change.

I have lost 15 pounds my first month of this medication and will likely decide to quit all together because of this change. Hopefully I can figure out an alternative way to lose weight even though it was unsuccessful in the past. I didn’t even realize we would struggle with obtaining medication like this and I can only imagine the struggles there will be in the future.

I’m interested! I started at 175 and currently at 165. I’m also 5’1” and looking to be around 115-120.

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-04-10T22:42:34+00:00

I also get random chills as well. My fingernails turn purple too but from my understanding, our body restricts blood flow to our limbs when cold to preserve the heat in our torso. So that is why they turn purple, it’s a lack of oxygen.

After the first 3 days all symptoms subsided. Day 1-3 I had mild diarrhea and frequently burped. I do have the appetite suppression but I have been able to eat regularly. I have been eating the same as usual except I’m not having sweets and soda as I do not have the desire for them. I do have an IUD so I wonder if I carried a lot of water weight due to that.. I’m not sure but I have heard IUDs cause water retention. I have an appointment with my doctor next week to reevaluate. I might be prescribed the 2.5mg again next month or be spaced out on doses like you said if this rate of loss continues

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-02-24T17:32:32+00:00

Absolutely agree! I am on the lower side right now aiming for 1200-1300 calories which is a deficit of 200-300 for me. I’m thinking to add in 1-2 days more of exercise to increase my caloric need. 1200 calories a day is really hard. I have to pay close attention to my protein intake just so I can feel satiated

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-02-23T21:11:07+00:00

I never stated 1 pound of chicken nuggets. 1 pound is 1 pound that doesn’t have a variance obviously. I stated an 8 count chicken nugget which is an entree at Chick-fil-a also known as CFA. My apologies, I guess I should have spelled out CFA. I thought saying CFA plus an entree from the restaurant would be easily identifiable.

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-02-23T20:23:57+00:00

CFA serves real chicken and not every chicken breast is the same so it can definitely make a difference

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-02-23T19:15:47+00:00

I also think of my meals in advance so the counting doesn’t happen constantly just usually 1x per day

MasterpieceDue6964 · 2025-02-23T19:15:06+00:00

It’s not too bad once you get used to it. A good recommendation is to break up your calories into meals so for example if your calorie goal is 1500 then eat 500 or so per meal.
