Has anyone experienced food aversions on sema? I used to love avocados, but now the thought of one makes me feel ill.

Is this a daily thing – the eating example?

It's also amazing how much easier it is to travel now. I'm going on a trip soon, and I'm so happy I don't have to worry about losing weight before I go or what I'm going to wear. It's such a relief!

I have arthritis. No one says anything about me being on arthritis meds forever, but they do about this shot. I don't get why people make a big deal about needing THIS medicine forever. Obesity is a chronic condition, so if you stop the medicine, the symptoms return.

Huge congrats!! I'm at 210 right now, about 4 weeks in. How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking? It's encouraging to see your progress! 🙂

A lot of people don't see results on the lower doses. Don't give up! The therapeutic dose is often higher, like 1.7mg or even 2.4mg. You might just need a higher dose to see the scale moving again.

Awesome! 🎉 Looking at your photos, it looks like you've dropped a lot, no matter what the scale says. You look amazing, especially in that dress. Keep it up and stay positive! 🤗 ✌🏼

Needed to hear that today! I'm down about 30lbs since starting my meds but it feels like it's been a crawl.

Wow, congrats. That's a really impressive change, especially after going through such a difficult time. You look fantastic!

You're looking amazing! Awesome progress.☺️☺️
