Zepbound week 1 — symptoms and measurements
“−2 lb and some inches still felt like it’s working.”
Enid’s video is a true week-one diary: nausea timing, thirst, sleep, tape measure, and shot #2. If you’re about to start — or just started — and want honest granularity instead of a dramatic before/after, sit with her first week.

Phase
Considering
She was still uneasy about “what I’m injecting,” and comfort came from her doctor’s walkthrough plus a planned check-in around three months. She frames the shot as her kickstart — other paths are valid too.
Phase
Week 1 symptoms
Shot around late morning; she felt okay for hours, then evening nausea and reflux. Days one and two were hardest; hunger dropped but didn’t vanish. Intense thirst early on, deeper sleep, fatigue (her period also started — hard to separate). She skipped workouts week one to see what the med was doing. By midweek, sugar interest crept back and she wondered if the dose was “wearing off.” Shot two felt easier with a simple ritual.
Phase
Measurements & next intentions
She was glad for −2 lb plus arm, bust, and waist changes. Looser jeans reinforced the tape. She planned more intentional protein, hydration, and a gradual return to workouts — her preferences, not a prescription for you.
