[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a number of people in my neighborhood and my office who started ozempic/mounjaro/etc. within the last few years. Here’s what I’ve observed:

[b]The ones who were very overweight and older (50+) are now skeletal and saggy. It’s jarring to see someone lose 100+ pounds.[/b] I’ve observed others asking “what’s wrong” or if they have cancer, etc.

The ones who were not very overweight and were just a bit pudgy/flabby got skinny and tighter. They look healthy and just don’t eat much anymore.

I’ve observed most obsessing about their weight and complaining how they just can’t eat much anymore. They seem to struggle to eat half a sandwich.

Every time I go to the GYN the practice asks if I want a consult for a GLP1. I’m 5’9” and hover between 175-180. I’m a size 12/14. I gained 30 pounds when perimenopause started. [b]While I’m tempted to take the magic shot, I can’t get past the feeling that it’s damaging to one’s health.[/b] [/quote]

I'm 55 and have lost 70lbs on a GLP1 over the last couple of years. I could not care less if it is "jarring to see" me, because I'm "saggy." Losing the weight addressed the multiple health issues that my doctor had hoped it would, so I'm good.

It was the opposite of "damaging to [my] health." But YMMV, of course. Oh, and it's not "magic" -- it's medication, medication that comes with real side effects. [/quote]
