Starting Wegovy this weekend - what might DD eat?

[Anonymous]

Wegovy recommends a low fat diet. When I went on it I could barely eat and the nutritionist I saw emphasized 90g of protein per day and small meals that included both lean protein and fiber.

Actually, it's definitely relevant. The drug is not meant for teens. My first question as well as "how old?" I was definitely thinking younger than 23.

I hope all is going well for your daughter, OP.

If OP's daughter were under 21 then the comments would all be "oh, you're putting a child on weight loss medications!"

Thank you. Her special needs relate to mental health and obesity, and she has asked me for support and assistance with this part of the process.

Good for you OP. Family helps each other. Period. I don’t understand how anyone could fault you for helping your DD.

This is not true. These meds are approved for 12 and over.

No advice for you OP other than your post seems very reasonable and you’re looking for some help. Sorry you have to deal with the typical DCUM judge and jury. Best of luck to your daughter.

I wasn’t going to judge at all until OP said her special needs relate to mental health and obesity. So apparently most of the United States has special needs. Those are struggles-not “special needs”. My Bipolar mother doesn’t have special needs-she has a mental health diagnosis. It’s fine that you want to help your daughter through this but please don’t label it special needs. She might NEED your support but that’s not the same.

I like the Fairlife Core protein shakes but when I get nausea, a little carb snack helps. I don’t get it often, but when I do, I find that eating actually helps - like maybe my body’s signal has changed hunger pangs to nausea?

Greek yogurt is a go to for me as well.

Don’t be a judgmental jerk. There are various degrees of mental health issues and you have no idea what she’s dealing with.
