Yes. When my dad was going through a terminal illness, in and out of the hospital, I dropped weight so fast. I always had a round face, looked very young for my age. In the months after, my temples were hollowed out and my neck looked a mess. I was gaunt.
I did bounce back without fillers or anything else. I gained the weight back. Now, I was already healthy weight/fit when I dropped those pounds. I'm not so sure someone dropping needed pounds is going to have a dramatic face change like that---unless the weight loss goes too far.

Bravo OP!!! You have certainly reached a new level of moral superiority. You win as a fellow human. Wonder if you have "actual diabetes" because you're obese? How do you contribute to your chronic condition? Maybe you should try all of the natural ways to take care of your diabetes before you resort to Ozempic. I mean why take a shortcut for your diabetes when you can try to eat healthy and exercise?

It has approval for weight loss, so it is being properly approved for weight loss. Who do you know being prescribed it without being at least medically overweight?

Congratulations!! That is great news!
That is great! My SIL lost the weight without the drugs and now she doesn't have to take any meds. The end goal is a healthier you. Glad you are seeing results.
The odds are overwhelmingly against her maintaining the loss lifelong. Don’t be surprised if she ends up on a GLP1 drug of one stripe or another.
Anything is possible, but she has kept it off for over 7 years. Her doctor told her she was on track to becoming diabetic and that was what she needed to make lifestyle changes and lose the weight.
Anything is possible. What I’m telling you is probable.
Knowing my SIL she wouldn't want to take weekly injections for life so hopefully she can continue with the success she has had without drugs for the last 7 years. Glad there is something to help if she decides she can't stick to the lifestyle changes. Maybe she is one of the mysterious few who can reduce calories and exercise to prevent obesity.
She probably got weight loss surgery and just didn’t want to tell your nasty, judgmental self.

It always amazes me how many people on DCUM know so, so many statistical outliers. A DCUM miracle, truly.

They’re soooo mad. So so mad.
They are mad that people are fat?
They're mad that fat people have access to a relatively easy and painless way to be thin.
Remember, there's always a price to be paid when you take a shortcut.
Lolol you want that to be true so badly don’t you? God forbid people who struggle with obesity have a tool to get to a healthy weight without price to pay. You can’t stand it. I wish I could understand why.
I already told you why. They need to believe they’re thin due to moral superiority. It unhinges them that others might appear as morally superior as them without being naturally so.
You guys, please ignore this lady. She has a confirmed mental illness and any comments implying that lifestyle impacts obesity will trigger her. I'm warning you.
I’m not that PP, but why are you so triggered. I mean she isn’t the one bleating on about “confirmed mental illness.” What sort of nonsense is that? And no, I don’t need Ozempic. I can just, you know, read the thread in front of me and it is extremely clear the skinny triggered people are the ones with serious issues.
NP. There was a previous thread whenever someone said they were successful with exercise and diet that one particular poster would go off and claim everyone was fat shaming and jealous. Diet and exercise have worked for many and these drugs prove that because they stop people from eating too many calories and that is why they lose weight. Do some people have a medical condition that contributes to obesity? Yes. Are people obese because they over eat and are sedentary? Absolutely.
If you compare a person who has been healthy and fit most of their lives to someone who was overweight, then obese, and then take 18 months to lose weight their bodies and faces look different. Ozempic face is real
I think I read the thread you are referring to if it was the recent one about ozempic, and if that was your takeaway, I have to conclude that you struggle with reading comprehension or your own issues that significantly color what you are reading. And even if not, the “confirmed mental illness” poster is pretty clearly nuts. I mean, reading objectively, that’s a nutty conclusion.
Also Ozempic face is a joke. Good lord. I can’t believe you believe such obvious nonsense. Please return to reality, thank you.

Yes, it does happen, although it’s rare. If she is willing to neurotically count calories forever, that is known to make her likelihood of success greater. But on a population level, even those who were able to do it for years tend to stop being able or willing to maintain the incredibly strict calorie tracking necessary to maintain major weight loss and eventually regain. Even after many years of maintaining.
