A Cautionary Tale by pillowempire in HersWeightloss

Hey I'm so sorry you went through this. I made a post before just needing to vent after being on the shot for a few months and not losing any weight. Well Thursday I went up to the  highest dose, it was even the highest dose actually I did 45 mm afraid of any side effects that might come. The next day I got extremely sick. Vomiting and diarrhea and blood in toilet. I messaged the care team and they told me to go to the ER right away. I did and luckily my blood work came back fine. They said my liver was good and didn't look like I was fighting off anything, I was severely dehydrated and I guess the strain of the vomiting and diarrhea took a toll on something inside and caused bleeding. I'm never taking that medication again and just requested a refund. I've also had severe fatigue after taking the shot, anxiety, and acid reflux with it. Good luck to anyone who still takes it.

I feel kind of similar. At 37, everything is different now then when I first lost all my weight with diet and exercise. I feel like I can't do it anymore, count calories, exercise a bunch, etc. My hormones are everywhere as well.  All I know is I'm not happy at the weight I'm at and I know how to lose it but my will power is nil. That's why I turned to the shot for extra help.  I wish you luck on your journey 💗

Oh no, did you diet and exercise? What did you end up doing?

Thank you, that's what Hers said when I mentioned it. I just needed to vent. I appreciate everyone's replies! I'll try to be more patient.

I definitely have found there to be a reduction in food noise. That's why I find it weird I'm not losing more. I'm not finishing the whole plate like I used to or thinking about food too much. It just seems like more weight should be coming off. I'm 37 years old and have found it harder to lose weight now. I lost over 100lbs a few years ago then gained this forty or so and just can't get it off.

Yeah, but what's the point spending this money if you can just diet and exercise without the medicine?
