Ozempic, Mounjaro users talk about changes to family life after weight loss

People once raved about Oxy being the miracle pain reliever. Many years later the consequences are still being felt.

A wise person would stop at taking advice from any of the "housewives".

I became ill, went from 235lbs to 124lbs in less than a year. What I noticed, people were a lot more friendly, but in a lot less genuine way.

I won't be surprised if we have Ozempic class action lawsuit commercials airing on 10 yrs

Remember what Phen Phen did in the 90s ?

It's so sad that despite all her accomplishments she only felt valued by her peers when she was skinner.

I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic last spring after being pre diabetic for years. My doctor put me on Meformin and also recommended Ozempic to help with my blood sugar/A1C and so far it's been the best decision I've made for myself. All of my numbers have gotten better, my joints don't hurt, I'm learning to eat better, my feet and legs are not swollen from excess fluid, I'm exercising and my overall quality of life is just better. I'm also down 70lbs and will continue to work on myself mentally and physically.

What a incredibly superficial and shallow society we live in…

I'm 66 soon to be 67 in a couple of months grandma. I have been overweight most of my life but in 2017 I joined weight watchers lost 45 pounds and have kept it off because I'm intentional about my weight loss journey. I eat balanced meals, cheat every now and then drink water, and ginger tea made from scratch. I stay away from sweets, eating a panera blueberry muffin once in a while, 🤣 I go to the gym 5 days per week and this is how I intended to keep my weight in check.

I had gastric bypass over 20yrs ago. After 10yrs, I gained all the weight back. Obesity is a lifelong chronic disease that's not as simple as stopping eating sugar and exercising more. It's complex. I've been seeing an eating disorder psychiatrist for years. I started Mounjaro last year along with Pilates and I'm down 60 lbs. I feel like I have my life back and physically can do so much more. Yes, I will be on this for the rest of my life because it beats being morbidly obese. I can focus on living my best life - healthy and looking great without obsessing over what i eat. I eat like a "normal" person.

Wow! I have been "obese" for a long time and can also say, ignored by "friends" and crushes like I didn't exist. Recently lost some weight, (not from using this but still) it did change how people treat me. The first thing I noticed was how suddenly helpful and kind people were while shopping and how nice men started talking to me. I felt the same as she said, sad. But also angry. The world has become extremely superficial.

This past summer I cut out all carbs and sugars due to severe joint pains that had me thinking i might need a wheelchair. The happy surprise is the weight I have lost along with all those aches and pains. I hope this helps someone who might be overweight and / or suffering from joint pain.

People never learn, just wait for the epic fallout from horrific side effects

Honesty is best. I’m overweight and I hate it so much.

I hate that the one lady said that we are taking away the medication from those that need it. I think that anyone that is obese needs this medication.

I'm losing weight on my own. It's a heart decision. I don't want to be skinny, but I aim to be healthy. I am making better decisions. I cut out the junk and the weight is leaving. I give myself a treat or two per week, and it's working for me. Food is very addictive. In America, we eat for EVERYTHING. I don't like taking pain medicine for a headache. I refuse to take medicine to lose weight. The side effects are so not worth it to me.

I'm on Ozempic because of diabetes. It is the only drug that has helped me maintain a good sugar level, even keeled. But because of all this vanity, it is terribly difficult to get the prescription filled. I just went two and a half weeks without it (for the second time), and it was extremely frightening. The thing is, there ARE drugs specifically for weight loss (Wegovy, e.g.), but people are asking for, and doctors are prescribing, the drug I need to live. I wish people weren't so selfish, but that's the effed-up world we live in. :(

People don't want to admit it, but it's true. 99% of people in America is shallow. People treat people better if they look good. Also, people get jealous and treat people bad when they see a person looking good. It's all about looks in America or how a person dress.

As a person who’s been on both ends of the spectrum, I agree , it’s two entirely different worlds. In one you’re seen as highly valuable and in the other you don’t exist and you are totally invisible.

It’s deeper than this one person. I notice a big difference in how people treat me when I’m in a thinner phase.
