I've lost 17 lbs and look better than I have in years. But I feel weird about it. Like I cheated? I know I didn't, the drug is a tool. But seeing people who've struggled for years without meds and then seeing me drop weight fast... I feel guilty sometimes. Anyone else deal with this?
Body image after GLP-1 weight loss — complicated feelings
Totally agree. I was on metformin for years and it did nothing for weight. GLP-1 was a game changer. It's a tool, not cheating.
I've been at 5mg for 2 months now. The jump from 2.5 to 5 was noticeable — more appetite suppression but also more nausea for the first two weeks. It settled down after that. I'd say go for it if you're stalling at the current dose.
I had the same concern. My doctor said the same thing — it's the rapid weight loss, not the drug. Mine stopped after about 6 months once my weight stabilized.
I've been at 12.5mg for 3 months now. The jump from 5 to 12.5 was noticeable — more appetite suppression but also more nausea for the first two weeks. It settled down after that. I'd say go for it if you're stalling at the current dose.
