From Failed Gastric Sleeve Surgery to 100+ lbs Lost: My Zepbound Journey

[@HollysWeigh]

Thanks for watching! Have you tried zepbound/ mounjaro or tirzepatide? Semaglutide or ozempic? What was your experience?

[@CoolInOlympia]

I can certainly relate to your story!❤

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

Girlfriend! We have SO much in common! We both just started channels. We both were fat kids (though not really). I took Fen-Phen in 1995 (I am OLD!). We both had bariatric surgery and regained lost weight (mine was the RNY... I failed the RNY, it didn't fail me... I had it done in 2001). I've lost 100 lbs once and over 200 lbs. twice. I've was on Trulicity for a year starting April 2022, then Mounjaro for a year +, starting at the end of 2023. My insurance is forcing me to change to Ozempic for another 6 months to show it doesn't work before considering re-prescribing Mounjaro. I do have Type 2 Diabetes and my HbA1c has gone from a 9.0 to 5.1. In the last year and a half, I've gone from 405 lbs. to 147 lbs. I'm 5'1". Mind you, I am a super-responder and so are my 2 kids who are on tirzepatide. My labs were amazingly horrible and are now pristine. I was bedridden for a decade and now easily walk 5+ miles a day... 4 mi. at a time every morning. Edit: I, too, gained 80 lbs. with my first child (who is 43 day after tomorrow!), then never lost and gained 30 lbs. each with the two girls. Regarding the comment about not being the fattest person on earth, please do not EVER feel like you need to qualify your pain. As a nurse (I'm a retired midwife), you know there is no measuring cup for suffering. We all have our thresholds and your 265 lbs. was yours. Regarding skin, I show my dangling arm skin in my third video. Part of it is to "come out" as (trying) to not be filled with shame. I also live in Florida and wear tank tops all the time. I have some serious dripping wax-looking skin all over my body. I doubt I will ever have reconstructive surgery because of $$, so I am working hard to find peace with my body. The other part of showing my arms is to encourage those who feel their own arms look horrible and to comfort them that "at least mine don't look like that!" I do tell people I earned all this redundant skin. Isn't therapy fun for working on body image? Ugh. How blessed are we that we are living in this time when there IS something that will work. Forever. I never had a goal weight, but when I hit 150, I knew it was time to maintain. Working on that now. If I could wish for something, it would be for me to be 25 years old again at 300+ lbs. and start my life over. But, there is no magic fairy (except Tinker Bell) that will transport me in time, so at 63, I am making my life what I can. I have 3 kids and 5 grandkids to spend time and play with! I did subscribe. I hope we can talk if you ever have time. So good to meet you!

[@HollysWeigh]

Thank you so much for that beautifully written comment! Wow… Over 200 pounds lost is amazing! Yes we do seem to have very similar life paths lol. It’s so nice to be able to find kindred spirits here and people who know exactly what each other are going through. I also have the loose skin on my arms. I’ve yet to get to that point where I will wear a tank top, Oh, but maybe one day. I spend a lot of time in the theme parks here in Orlando and it is hot! I imagine a tank top would be nice at Disney. Thanks so much for subscribing and I will check out your channel as well!

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

@@HollysWeigh Holly! I'm in Orlando, too! Kindred Spirit is correct. In fact, I have not _walked_ in a Disney Park for 30+ years... always on an ECV or renting an ECV from outside the parks. Sunday, my girls and grandkids are converging on EPCOT from around the country as I _walk_ into, and around, World Showcase 3 times! Then we will spend the day and evening there in the park... me on my FEET! It's so surreal. I'm wearing a Mickey shirt that says: (on the front) "Disney's Magic & GLP-1s helped me lose..." (and on the back) "255 lbs. Lost... EPCOT Walk 2024". We are videoing it... big fun! So glad to meet you!

[@HollysWeigh]

That’s awesome! And I hope you post it on your channel so we can all celebrate with you :)

[@FatGuyNoMore]

First, new to your channel and Subscribed. Can’t wait to follow your journey. Second, I had “Stomach Staples” done back in 1998. I weighed 680 at that point. I lost down to 330 and then slowly started gaining. Flash forward to 1/10/22 and I was 595. I tried “diet & exercise” for 8 months and lost 35# only before being introduced to Mounjaro. Between it and now Zepbound, since 9/2/22 I’ve lost a total of 242#. This medication is life changing as you know. It’s helped me do what no surgery could and that is change me in a profound way. My relationship with food is different, I enjoy exercising (well, not the physical act, but the feeling I get knowing I did lol). Your story was very touching, thank you for taking the time to share it with us. ❤

[@HollysWeigh]

Thank you so much for subscribing! I feel like the surgery would have been a good solution for me if I didn’t still have the food noise and had learned a little more about my personal relationship with food prior to doing it. This medication has been amazing and was exactly what I needed. I only wish I had known about it before my surgery. Good luck on your continued weight loss!

[@kolchak357]

I’m in week 4 with Mounjaro. I’ve been overweight since I was a teen 40 years ago. Was a little afraid to try the new weight loss drugs, but my A1C numbers pushed me to try it. I’m down 15 lbs already and making much better food decisions. Wish I had started Mounjaro much sooner. I have about 85 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Congrats on your hard work and success. Wishing you continued good health.

[@HollysWeigh]

@kolchak357 thank you so much! 15 pounds down is amazing, congrats! I can’t wait to hear how your A1C is doing when you get rechecked. You’ve got this!

[@tiafenn]

Hi Holly! I just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos....love that you are a nurse too! I had lapband surgery in 2011 and lost about 80 lbs but gained it all back eventually. On Zepbound since April and it's a whole new ball game 💪🏾 Let's go!

[@HollysWeigh]

@tiafenn thank you for subscribing! I am hearing more and more about people who have regained weight after weight loss procedures. For me, I feel like it’s the mental food noise that just makes it so hard to maintain. But yes! I agree, the zepbound has been a whole new ballgame and I’m loving it! Wishing you the best on your weight loss journey!

[@tiafenn]

@HollysWeigh Agree. Surgery stops you from eating but it doesn't take away the DESIRE to eat and we figure out ways to "trick the system." Good luck to you as well, I look forward to watching more of your story 😘

[@nkn433]

Your story sounds exactly like mine. I had gastric sleeve surgery in two thousand twenty two. Only lost about thirty pounds. Started munjaro march of twenty four. Down sixty two pounds. Five pounds to my goal weight of one thirty five. I'm so glad to hear from somebody who has went through the bariatric surgery also.

[@HollysWeigh]

That’s amazing! Congrats on your weight loss!

[@CreamyJalapeno]

My vsg in 2015 was a total failure. Mounjaro/Zepbound has helped me lose 80 lbs and I'm down 117lbs total. I now weigh 134 with a BMI of 23! It's given me my life back. I'm 5'3" like you!

[@HollysWeigh]

Congrats on the weight loss Jennifer! I love your channel name. I agree, zepbound has been amazing. I never imagined I would get back down to this size.

[@CreamyJalapeno]

@ I started in January 2023. It's been an absolute miracle. Of course I did all the nutrition classes, counseling, etc with the sleeve surgery and beyond. Now we know that our body and brains aren't working correctly. Days after the sleeve I was hungry. The surgeon told me that was impossible. Lol. She said I was mistaking some other feeling as hunger. Yeah, okay lady. I gave up on avoiding carbonation and straws. There's absolutely no data for those things being an issue. Never in my wildest dreams I'd be this size ever again. Nor did I ever think I'd be free from the chains of food. I weigh less now than I did my junior and senior years of high school. I knew I was different because my husband doesn't ever think about food unless he's hungry. His body works like it's supposed to. Now I know what it's like to just live life not thinking about my next meal or constantly swinging by the pantry to get a snack even when I'm not hungry. I'm so grateful. Keep going! Don't be afraid to let your goal be a BMI of 24 or less. I didn't think it's was possible. I'm in size 4 pants now which is bananas. My husband has loved me through thick and thin. He never once said a mean thing to me. I'm a very lucky lady!

[@CreamyJalapeno]

@@HollysWeighAlso, I've had several skin removal surgeries. In one month I'm doing an arm lift. Hopefully next year I can get my turkey neck fixed. ❤

[@HollysWeigh]

I’m not sure why I didn’t see these comments until today, sorry! I had the same experience with my gastric sleeve. I was hungry. But I couldn’t eat a lot. it made it hard to stick with what I was supposed to eat. The only reason I was able to follow the diet was because I was terrified that I would somehow hurt my Stomach because of the surgery. The food noise was constantly there. I also gave up on the straws and the carbonation. I can’t stand ice, hitting my teeth and trying to eat in a restaurant and drink out of a glass with no straw was driving me crazy. I can’t believe you are a size 4, that’s amazing! I can’t wait to hopefully be right around that size. Size 4 to 6 is where I would like to be. How did your skin surgery go? Any regrets? I am probably looking at a tummy tuck and thigh lift. I don’t know about the arm lift. I’m trying to see what I can do with weights first.

[@CreamyJalapeno]

@ Skin surgery for me has been a godsend. I hated my body. Now I love it. And for me the recovery was easier than vsg!

[@sevensjourney]

Thanks for sharing your story .. I'm on my second month taking my time with the 2.5 before I increase.. your truth is inspiring

[@HollysWeigh]

@sevensjourney thank you! I wish I had taken things a little slower with my increases in dosage. How is your weight loss going?

[@vs0063]

Hi Holly! New subscriber here🎉! I can relate to being divorced and in that marriage not feeling good enough. I've been divorced for 10 years now and I lost weight too, him. It was heavy to carry the stress of that marriage and it weighed on me. I'm on Tirzepitide compound now and have lost 10lbs with 70 to go. I tried phentermine too, it was great, but my doc wouldn't let me continue. This is working well and for the first time I feel like the struggle is over.

[@HollysWeigh]

@vs0063 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! New KZbin channels are hard to get going so I definitely appreciate the support :-). Your comment made me chuckle lol. Yes we definitely lost weight by getting rid of those men! I feel very blessed that I found my current husband, he’s completely supportive and totally opposite of my first husband. Congratulations on the 10 pounds lost! I know it seems like a long journey ahead, but it will go quickly and I’m sure you will have great success. This medication felt like a miracle drug to me! I will have some new content out soon. Is there anything that you would like to see? Anything that I can answer or do to help you?

[@vs0063]

​@@HollysWeighI'm so proud of you starting your channel and sharing! I think something everyone needs to know is once the weight is gone, what's the plan to maintain? Many people are staying on the GLP in low doses to ensure they stay on track! I'm excited for you as you approach your goal and continue the journey of maintenance. More viewers will come to your channel. I like to rewatch videos or listen while working or going about my day so that'll help your watch hours too! Thanks again for your reply and I'm happy you found love with someone who loves you to the core! 🙏 I'm caretaking for my Dad who has dementia and prostate cancer and he's 90 years old. So my Mom needs me healthy and strong to help her, she's 87, I'm perimenopausal and 53 years old. It's a blessing to help them and have precious time together. Thank you for your encouragement!! You look amazing!!🎉

Thank you for the idea! I will be sure to include that in my content. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad, but I’m very glad that you have the opportunity to help with his care and to spend time with your parents. And thank you so much for the compliment! I look forward to hearing how things are going on your journey :)

[@lindag9975]

Congratulations on your success with Zepbound! I have also had similar experiences and failures on most plans. The only thing that has helped me is to quit all refined and ultra processed foods. Eating whole vegetables fruits, healthy meats, nuts, and some dairy has made me no longer hungry. The ultra processed foods are filled with chemicals to make them taste unnaturally good. Then they raise your blood sugar, and you crave more. And because they are mostly empty calories, you are never full. I can only eat so much of vegetables, fruits, and meat at one meal, and I'm completely full. I don't want any more. When you finish Zepbound, I highly recommend getting rid of refined and ultra processed stuff from your diet and changing to whole foods. Doing so changes your health so much for the better. And I have lost and kept off 50 pounds just by doing this. I used berberine for a while but quit because it lowered my blood pressure too much. But I am still losing weight and even faster because I feel better.

[@HollysWeigh]

Thank you! I have been able to eat pretty clean with the medication. It does well for the cravings and allows me to make healthier choices. Congratulations on losing 50 pounds! That's great!

[@ladybugauntiep]

You are very brave to share your story. I’m currently 4 years out of VSG… I’ve kept the 65-70 pounds off… but my doctor is wanting my visceral fat to be lower. Tuesday she recommended Zepbound… I’m excited to do it. I am so encouraged by your story, and identify with you and your story a whole lot. Thank you!

[@HollysWeigh]

Congratulations on your weight loss and keeping it off! That’s amazing! Zepbound is great for getting rid of visceral fat. Mine was 19 units (measured in a strange way on my scale) when I started and is now down to 9 units. I’m not sure exactly what that means, but lower is good! Good luck with your continued journey!

[@purple_bellflower]

Thanks for sharing your story! I have a similar story... had VSG 2.5yrs ago to help combat type II diabetes, severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and obesity at 235 being 5'6'. Lost about 35lbs after the VSG within the 1st year. I was definitely a slow loser and not coming from a super heavy starting weight. My medications were reduced but didn't totally get off of any of them. Dr. put me on Mounjaro and removed the metformin to offer better help with the type II diabetes and weight loss. Happy to say, 11 months on Mounjaro and my A1-C is 5.2 (well controlled), I'm now down to 164... roughly 14lbs away from my goal weight. Never made it past the 7.5mg dose. Sleep apnea all but cured and high blood pressure meds decreased, may even be able to get off of them altogether. Now pondering life in maintenance phase as I would like to be full control of my health and weight without any dependence on medications in the near future.

[@HollysWeigh]

@purple_bellflower You have so many great changes happening with your health - that’s fantastic! The VSG experience is not an easy surgery to endure, and it’s so frustrating for it not to have the best results. But I’m so happy for you that the mounjaro is working! And you are sooo close to goal! Good luck with the rest of your journey and getting into maintenance. I will post a video soon about that since there seems to be many people approaching that point soon - including me!

[@purple_bellflower]

​@@HollysWeigh THANK YOU HOLLY! I MUST SAY, I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONE'S WITH THE VSG JOURNEY IT WAS ALL POSITIVE. I DIDNT EXPECT TO LOSE A BOAT LOAD AND I WAS GLAD THAT I LOST IT SLOWLY TO KEEP THE SKIN ISSUES FROM BEING SO CRAZY AND THE ABILITY TO KEEP IT OFF LONGER AS WELL. I NEVER GOT TO THE POINT THAT I WAS ABLE TO EAT A TON OR EVEN HAD THE DESIRE TO. AND I ASBOLUTELY DID NOT PHYSICAL EXERCISE. BUT YES, FOR ALL THE HEALTH REASONS AND CHANGING MY DIABETES MEDS... IM GLAD THAT HELPED CHANGE THE TIDE TAKE ME DOWN FURTHER. I USED TO TAKE THE DAILY INJECTION SAXENDA MANY YEARS AGO... BUT THAT WAS AFTER BEING ON INSULIN... SO I KINDA JUST WAS OVER THE WHOLE DAILY INJECTION THING... ANYWHO... YES... I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR VIDEOS ON MAINTENANCE... THERE ARE NOT MANY OUT THERE... AS I'M SURE THEY ARE NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL PROCESS. SOME LOWER THEIR DOSAGES... AND SOME SPREAD OUT THEIR INJECTIONS... AND SOME DO BOTH. I WILL INITIALLY START WITH SPREADING OUT MY INJECTIONS SINCE I'M ON THE MIDDLE DOSE RIGHT NOW...AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS! 🤩🤩

I have a Fitbit and walk 12,000 steps daily in zone 2. walking is a gift I give myself each day. Starting now with resistance training to maintain my muscle mass. I'm on tirzepatide 5 mg. lost 20 lbs have 20 more to go. b4 tirzepatide i was gaining and losing the same 5 to 10bs even with walking 12,000 steps and eating 1100 calories. this has changed my life I'm losing only a lb a week but I'm thrilled I'm finally down 20 lbs from 170 to 150. have 20 more lbs to go. although I was healthy and have a great blood profile I couldn't lose weight this did something magical to my hormones and metabolism. yes I wasn't severely obese but at 5 feet 2 I was overweight. I have also had zero negative side effects. I don't know what will be if compound tirzepatide will be discontinued I will worry then.

[@HollysWeigh]

@@simaruby306 I think even slow weight loss is great! Like you said, you were stuck going up and down those same few pounds so now you’ve actually lost 20, that’s awesome! I feel like we will have some sort of compound or affordable medication around for a while. They are looking at these medication‘s for so many different things like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, etc. so if that is all approved, then imagine what the demand will be. There’s no way that these big drug companies can keep up with that. That’s just my personal opinion. Keep up with the walking! That’s fantastic. Good luck on the remaining 20 pounds and keep us updated with how it’s going.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m glad I found this video. I have been on Mounjaro for several months (had tried Victoza and Ozenpic with no luck. Ozempic just made me super sick) I just started on the 10 mg yesterday. I have lost a little bit of weight but oh my God the nausea is horrible. I had a little bit on the 7.5 but not as much as I’ve had over the last 24 hours. I’m trying to bear with it so that I can stick with it and lose weight.I’m on it due to diabetes. But I am in need of losing 100 pounds. Hopefully we can all help each other out with advice and share our stories as we go along.

[@HollysWeigh]

Thank you for watching! I’ve found I have more nausea now that my dose is higher. Especially the day right after I inject. The longer I’m on it, the less nausea I have as my body adjusts. It sounds weird, but what really helps me is putting an alcohol pad under my nose and smelling it for a bit. I have theories on why, but I’m not completely sure. I also have some prescription nausea meds that I take once in a while. But I’m finding I need that less and less. I’ve been on the 15mg about a month now. I hope you are able to stick with it! This medication had been a total game changer for me. I hope it will be for you too!

[@ADDIE.]

Thank you for sharing your story. The only thing that has honestly worked for me is keto. It takes away that sugar craving.

[@HollysWeigh]

Keto seems to work for a lot of people! I personally didn’t do that great on it. I had that initial good weight loss, but the cravings never went away for me so it wasn’t something that I could sustain. I’m glad that it works for you though! Thanks for watching!

[@lawandalh2387]

Back in 2013 I had the gastric sleeve surgery and it didn’t work for me either. I now no it was the food noises and I couldn’t control them. The GLP1 gurney is really working for me.

Your video was great. So real. I would never have guessed it was your first video. I'm on week 5 and increasing my dose to 5mg on Saturday. I've been lucky (knock on wood) and have had no negative symptoms other than the fatigue has you mentioned. I have lost 10 pounds at the 3-week mark. I've been happy with the results. How did you do on your increase to 5mg? Thanks for the video, I look forward to more.

[@HollysWeigh]

@stampinByDiane thank you so much! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! I went up to 5mg right at the 5 week mark as well. The 5mg mark was right at the time when I swapped from name brand Zepbound to compound tirzepatide. I don’t know if it was my body adjusting to change or what was happening, but I felt like I was hungry a lot and the food noise was there. I actually thought I had injected with just saline solution or something because I was convinced that the compound wasn’t working. But after a couple weeks on 5 mg I started to feel the appetite suppression a little and the food noise died back down a bit. But I still lost 11 pounds that month and 2% body fat. I bumped up to 7.5 mg after that month to help with the food noise and appetite suppression a little more. I did have the fatigue with this dose as well, initially. Let us know how the increase goes for you!

[@minerallady]

Thanks for sharing your stories and congratulations on your weight loss with zepbound. Do you do any exercises when you started at 235 till where you are now? What kind of exercises do you earlier till now? Thank you Holly.

[@HollysWeigh]

@minerallady thanks for watching! I have been going to orange theory gym for about the last couple of years. We do a lot of running, rowing, and strength training. I started off with power walking rather than running and have worked my way into jogging. With the weight loss, it’s a little easier. I am about to switch gyms due to time constraints and am going to focus mainly on weight lifting to build muscle. I also walk a lot at home and try to do body weight exercises like pushups and squats at home. My routine hasn’t really changed a lot from when I was heavier, but I used to make accommodations like squats instead of lunges, walk instead of run, knees on the floor for pushups instead of regular pushups etc.. my goal was just to move my body and get the weight down. Hope that helps!

[@minerallady]

@@HollysWeigh Thank you Holly for your response. As of now, I do housework routine and do walk on treadmill 3-5 times a week, about an hour each time. I can't do running yet.

Did every med help with food noise? I’m on Tirzepatide and it does not quiet my food noise. It’s frustrating.

[@HollysWeigh]

Zepbound/tirzepatide is the only med I have ever experienced the decrease in food noise. Some of the others helped with appetite, but I still had the thoughts. I mean, I still think about food on zepbound. If I see a cheeseburger or a cookie, I may think, wow that looks good. But I don’t crave it. I don’t obsess about it or spend a lot of time worrying what to eat, when to eat it, and how much. What is your dose on tirzepatide?

[@tonis2922]

@ I’m taking 50 but was going to start 75 but only took that 1 or 2 weeks. I just don’t seem to be getting better with the thoughts/noise. I’ve spent quite a bit of money already and I’m so disappointed.

Nothing physically wrong with the surgery. But they said I failed because I gained a lot of the weight back. Prior to the surgery, everything they were saying seemed so easy. But afterwards was another story for me. In hindsight, I wish I had never had the surgery. It wasn’t the right solution for me.

I did have one as part of the surgical requirements, but it wasn’t the same as the counseling that I’ve had since that time. I have a much better relationship with food and an understanding of my own behaviors now. It’s what I needed then to be successful. But luckily it’s helping me on this journey now!
