[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I appreciate all perspectives here.

I want to add that the reason my doctor thinks it’s important for me to lose some weight is because I have high blood pressure and have been taking BP medication for the past 5 years to manage it. She thinks if I can get the weight off it will naturally lower my BP and maybe I can come off the medication, or at least not need to increase the dosage as I age.

I have lost some weight before but I always gain it back because I have to eat very little or I can’t maintain it. I am too hungry so I eat more and gain it back. It’s literally the definition of yo-yo dieting.

So my thought is that I can either[b] try something different[/b] to see if it helps, or not lose the weight and keep it off long term and deal with my high BP.[/quote]
Before glps, people went to med spas for B12 injections to lose weight. There must be some options between continuing to yoyo and taking a lifelong unstudied (in your population) drug against your doctor's advice.[/quote]
