Chasing a lifelong dream to being considered just overweight and not obese by the BMI calculator, after 14 months Eva switched to tirzepatide to try and reach a goal that still seems just out of reach.

On the morning before heading to Dr. Jennifer Walden ’s office in Austin, she took her before photos seriously: the 6:43 AM bathroom pictures, the long-stoplight car selfie video, the in-office clinical photos. Then two pills, a grid drawn on her face, almost falling while putting on socks, nitrous held by Jenny (“Feels like high school, huh?”), and a new perspective on what a great surgeon looks like and what it means to be a patient.
