[quote=Anonymous]NP. Finally a thread I can relate to, but I need to lose at least 50 lbs not 30. Similar to OP I was always a normal BMI/regular weight all my life and similar to OP, I was active, although not a "gym rat." For me it was the year after the pandemic, roughly 2021-2022, that my weight skyrocketed. I started seeing my regular PCP/GP as well as weight loss focused doctors and practices. In 2023, took Ozempic for several months, lost nothing. In 2024, tried Mounjaro for about 8 months, max dose, ended up in urgent care with tachycardia, lost nothing. I met with an Inova bariatric surgeon who said I qualified (despite a BMI of 33) but I am afraid I'd eat through it and regain the weight afterward. I've met with dietitians and nutritionists who have put me on restrictive 900 calorie diets that started a binge/restrict cycle that I cannot seem to break.

To the PP who asked about insulin resistance. I do have it. So where do I go from here? Did you mean something by your question? The last weight loss doctor put me on slow-release Metformin, which didn't seem to do anything, tbh. [/quote]
