[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the .5 dose of wegovy.  I would describe it as enough appetite suppression that its easier to make good choices.  Kind of like it takes the edge of my hunger and mental obsession over food but its still there.  But if I wasn't motivated to loose weight and make good choices I could easily see no change.  I've lost about 6-7 pounds in 7 weeks which I'm happy about.  [/quote]

Exactly. You can't continue to eat crap and wonder why you can't lose weight even while on a drug.

Look at the people who get surgery and still gain the weight back. When will people take responsibility for their choices?[/quote]

You sound pleasant [/quote]

There are people who are enraged that drugs exist to help people lose weight. It’s weird. Actually it’s psychotic.[/quote]

Nope. I am cool with drugs existing to help people, but still believe people need to also put in some effort and accept that they do in fact have some control vs believing it is all out of their control and only a medication will save them. Medication should be used in combination with lifestyle changes and therapy.  look at all the people who have gastric bypass and still gain weigh back because they go back to overeating/never solve the real problem.

[b]You don’t get to have opinions about what other people should do.[/b] You worry about you.

DP. People can have opinions about whatever they want, including the temporary, unsustainable fixes people do.

Yes the truth is hard, but weightloss meds aren't going to fix a weight problem in the long term. Because things that are sustainable are hard, and you have to do the hard work - including the mental hard work.

I don’t. know why I’m bothering, but. Let me try:

If you know an overweight person who has lost weight before without Ozempic, you can be assured they know about doing the work. I am able to control my diet. I’ve done it to lose weight, I’ve done it to control GD, I’ve done it. It takes nearly all of my capacity. There’s a buzzing in my head that drives me bonkers. I have to think of almost nothing else and live like a monk. Ozempic has silenced that buzzing. I still get hungry, of course. But I also get full in a way I’ve never experienced before. My relationship to food is peaceful. I can plan a healthy diet and execute it while going about my normal life and being a good parent, partner, and worker.

This experience has really changed the way I see the whole issue. I wouldn’t tell a person with depression that they just need to think positive. That doesn’t mean depression should only be treated with meds and not therapy, cbd, whatever. I don’t tell alcoholics that they should be able to have one drink and then stop even though I can easily do that myself. This is not an either medication or hard work situation. I can’t know how other people feel, so I don’t know if I had some deficiency or whatever and Ozempic is correcting for that. But it feels like suddenly all of the advice about eating healthy and moderation is attainable for me in a way it never was before. [/quote]
