[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well ... this afternoon was horrific.

I have been on Wegovy about a year, and have lost a little over 50 lbs (SW: 227 CW about 170). My weight gain was due to medication. It is frustrating to add another med to lose the weight caused by the first med, but I want to live, so, here we are.

For those of you who call GLP-1 meds "the easy way" ... I $h!t my pants today. Literally. I had a one hour drive. From FFX to home in the historic Occoquan area. About 20 mins from my destination, the gas and horrible stomach pain started. I was literally crying in my car and yelling "It's ok, it's ok" at myself, trying to hold it. It was the windy roads of Prince William and nowhere to stop. I got all the way home, in tears, stood up out of my car, and it all rushed out of my body. All over my new shorts and down my legs into my shoes.

Utterly humiliating. And it hurt. A lot.

So why am I taking the med if this happens? Well, this exact thing had not happened before. These really bad GI side effects only happen about once a month for me, and every time thus far they have happened at night at home when I was right next to a bathroom. It hadn't happened at work, and hadn't happened anywhere else but home. When it is as infrequent as once a month, you put up with it to deal with the obesity (and obesity related health issues -- no vanity here, I have severe obstructive sleep apnea, high cholesterol, arthritis in my knees, and am on the edge of pre-diabetes).

I have lost the weight twice on WW, counting points, and the weight came back each time. My doctor insisted I try the GLP-1. Do I feel better this much lighter? Of course. Will I stick with it? Probably. But I'm not sure, this was pretty bad and the thought of it happening again is traumatizing.

So ... is this the "easy way?" Hell no. Hell, hell, hell no.

If you haven't been through this, then you have no idea what your are talking about. [/quote]

This only happens once, and then you learn not to eat crap and be really careful when you’re traveling. It’s much healthier to never ever eat junk food and to not overeat. These drugs ensure you do that. Eat a few carrots for breakfast and a small salad for dinner and you’ll never crap your pants again. [/quote]

+1 I’ve lost 21 lbs on GLP1s and I only ever have stomach pain if I eat something unhealthy…like a big piece of chocolate cake or a fast food meal. I haven’t crapped my pants but I’ve had diarrhea and pain. If I eat a perfect diet, I feel excellent. The meds pretty much force me to do that, and they prevent me from overeating because I get full so quickly. I love them and I think they’re miraculous. I also think they ARE the easy, lazy way. I have lost weight before the old fashioned way. Much more difficult; by the time I reached my goal weight I felt like I’d been through a war. On GLP1s the weight loss felt effortless.[/quote]
