Hey there! I'm Omar, a 31-year-old software engineering director living in Valencia, Spain. Originally from Venezuela, I've built my career climbing every tech position possible in record time. While professionally successful, I realized I was missing something crucial: taking care of my physical health.
I work remotely for a US-based digital banking company, which means my schedule runs from 3 PM to 11 PM Spanish time. This unconventional schedule, combined with the comfortable lifestyle of working from home, led me to develop some pretty unhealthy eating habits. Before starting this personal journey, I weighed 130 kilograms (287 lbs) at 1.81m (5'11") tall.
Like many people, I'd heard about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide (sold under the brand name Mounjaro®) through social media and family pressure. But I'm naturally skeptical - especially about needles (yes, big guys can faint too). As a tech person, I researched everything: the science behind GLP-1 peptides, clinical studies, real user experiences, and the difference between marketing hype and actual results.
This blog is my personal, unfiltered documentation of my individual tirzepatide medication experience. No sponsorships, no affiliate links, just my personal truth about what it's really like to use this medication as someone who:
- Lives in Spain (different healthcare system, costs, availability)
- Works in tech (sedentary lifestyle, irregular hours)
- Actually understands data and isn't easily fooled by marketing
- Wants to share real numbers, real costs, and real side effects
I'm documenting everything: the weekly weigh-ins, the side effects nobody talks about, the actual costs in Europe, how it affects my work performance, and the mental changes that come with rapid weight loss. I'm also tracking my meals (mostly pre-made balanced meals from KnowEats), my energy levels, and how this medication interacts with my ADHD and work-from-home lifestyle.
Why "Tirzepatide Daily"? Because this is my daily documentation of my personal tirzepatide medication experience - from 130kg to my goal weight. This isn't just about the number on the scale - it's about building sustainable habits, understanding my relationship with food, and hopefully inspiring others who are in a similar situation.
If you're considering tirzepatide medication, dealing with similar weight struggles, or you're just curious about what this personal journey looks like from a data-driven perspective, you're in the right place. I'll be sharing my individual experience - the good, the bad, and the surprisingly unexpected.
