However, it is so unattractive. He has no muscle and no fat. He is literally bones with skin. Then he is tired all the damn time because guess what, he isn’t eating nutrients!
Most doctors will not prescribe it for 30 lbs overweight alone.
If your husband has lost a lot of muscle because he’s always tired and not eating right, that is user error.
Hyperbole is misleading.
Agree. You still need to exercise while on it. Losing muscle means less weight lost.
I am 5'4" and have been on Ozempic since last April. I weighed about 220 when I started and am now at 184. It's been slow and steady for me. I am trying to get to about 160. If I weighed 120, I would look ill. But I am of hearty German stock, so I am not small boned. I do not have diabetes, nor was I ever pre-diabetic, but my insurance covers it. It's been a gamechanger for me.
