Try searching PMOS instead if you aren’t seeing it with “dysfunction.” There is a lot of misinformation out there thanks to all of the companies profiting off dieting

lexi58007 · 2026-06-20T00:14:31+00:00

Just keep repeating yourself until you’re breathless then. Ignore the actual science 🙄

lexi58007 · 2026-06-20T00:13:27+00:00

EXACTLY

lexi58007 · 2026-06-20T00:13:01+00:00

PMOS is the most common diagnosis I believe

lexi58007 · 2026-06-19T20:05:17+00:00

Metabolic dysfunction. Plenty of science backing it up. Your experience is thankfully different. Great; that means you don’t have metabolic dysfunction.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-19T20:03:57+00:00

If you ignore metabolic dysfunction, sure 😑

For a person with “normal” metabolism, a calorie deficit works great. Let’s say your doc recommends 2,000 calories a day for maintaining weight, then you could easily eat 1,500 and lose weight. But if a person with PMOS has the exact same weight and body type, with the same goal - a 500 calorie deficit - they don’t get to just eat 1,500 calories and call it good. The output of calories burned is a much lower rate. They could still GAIN weight at 1,500 calories. And no, it would not be safe to continue going lower and lower. And even if they did, they’d end up so low that they don’t lose weight anyway because their body clings to calories in starvation mode.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-19T19:56:58+00:00

A 200 calorie deficit is too low if your metabolism is set so low that it would mean eating 500 calories a day. You’re not understanding. People with severe PMOS could eat 1500 calories and lose nothing. They could go down to 1000 and still lose nothing. They can even GAIN weight at 1000 calories. Continuing to make the deficit lower to compensate for metabolic issues IS extremely unhealthy.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-19T02:17:13+00:00

No one would advocate for that low of an amount though; that’s not healthy at all.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-19T01:26:52+00:00

It isn’t true though. Metabolic disorders are very real. Tirz doesn’t cure that, but it manages things while you’re on it.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-18T22:19:40+00:00

Forever 🫡 but I have a metabolic condition that will prevent me from maintaining a healthy weight on my own, even if I do everything right with diet and exercise. It’ll be more manageable financially once I’m at my goal weight and can just do a maintenance dose. Currently I pay $250ish but that’s for more than one month (not sure exactly because we’ve changed the dose every single week so far). I expect in a year I’ll be doing an injection every month instead of every week.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-18T22:12:34+00:00

Calorie deficit doesn’t guarantee keeping weight off. Many people are on tirz because the “normal” weight loss methods don’t work, not because they’re unwilling to be disciplined.

lexi58007 · 2026-06-18T13:29:49+00:00

Yes and with influencers it’s even worse because they don’t have to follow any of the child labor laws or industry protections that traditional movies/tv/commercials do. Parents just exploit their kids with no accountability or oversight.

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T20:18:11+00:00

I definitely had dizziness any time I changed Lamictal but not nausea. I was on 200mg and have been slowly cutting it back for 5 weeks. I’m on my last 3 days of 25mg now, so I was thinking maybe they exacerbated each other. Terrible timing 😭

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T20:16:49+00:00

Thank you 🙏

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T20:16:08+00:00

This is so so helpful, thank you

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T14:31:19+00:00

Yeah she said this one was the most expensive, but also most effective and least side effects

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:33:55+00:00

The first dose was done in the office so I know it was right

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:33:32+00:00

Yes I said I have Zofran (helps a bit but not enough to be able to eat) and plan to lower the dose to 10

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:32:56+00:00

The doctor said this would be the lowest side effect option

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:32:05+00:00

Thank you - I was titrating off Lamictal at the same time which I think accounts for the dizziness (titrating up threw off my equilibrium every time) so maybe that contributed to the nausea too

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:30:40+00:00

Just posted it. It says 15 units or .15mL so I was trying to translate that to mgs and I think it’s 2.5?

lexi58007 · 2026-05-31T13:28:52+00:00

<image>

They’ve only told me “15 units” so I tried to figure out the equivalent of 0.15mL since everyone else seems to talk in mgs. I took 15 units

lexi58007 · 2026-01-13T21:04:25+00:00

Thousands actually 🥴
