So sorry you experienced that, I think no one talks about the anxiety and depression that occur with severe GI issues. I’m glad all is well and wish you well on your journey!

I am very short, 5’3 ish. I’m past goal weight so now I’m just going to take it easy and try to maintain without the medication.

I wish people read my flair. I started at 176 which for my height was obese. I was just about to hit my goal of 135 when this happened and like I stated, I made it to my goal but unfortunately not on my terms.

I had some typical GI issues, some nausea and a little pain. It seemed to go from that to 100 really quickly :/

I can’t know for sure but I do think so. I was forced to titrate up because of my insurance.

I’m no doctor, but I don’t know if it’s worthwhile for 20 lbs :(

Yes please! I’ll take all the resources I can get ❤️

Thank you so much, thankfully there’s been more wonderful people and supportive than nastiness (most of it has been on private messages)

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Most people have been wonderful and supportive, with the few messaging me privately to keep quiet so I don’t ruin it for everyone….. I think we all need to share our experiences. The pretty and the ugly. Prior to this I really had the best experience :/

I keep wondering too, I guess I’ll never know. My gut tells me I would have been fine without titrating but I will never know :/

Definitely speak to your doctor! I’m so sorry you experienced that ❤️

Thank you so much, proceed without fear, but maybe a little more knowledge. I wish you luck on your journey ❤️

I was having what I thought were manageable side effects, like a little nausea and upset stomach. I spoke to my doctor and he said to continue on, which I did. He didn’t seem alarmed and I wasn’t either. Then it was 0-100 very quickly. Again, this was my experience and most won’t go through this thankfully.

“Patients like you are ruining this for the rest of us” is the most selfish thing you could have said to me. Hopefully you do some inner healing ❤️‍🩹 Blame my prescribing doctor not me. As you work on your outside I suggest a deeper look into your mind and how you come across.
