Thin privilege? It's real after GLP-1s!

Taking breaks between vials to check your progress makes sense. Movement improvements beat pain relief any day.

Privilege and blessing point to different conversations about access and gratitude.

8 lbs in 2 months on sema and then the switch to tirzepatide making a visible difference right away is the response difference that comes up constantly. The thin privilege conversation after 88 lbs is real - the treatment from people around you does shift.

1.5 years and 60 lbs on 1mg without needing to push higher is a good response history. The 2-week surgical gap breaking the effectiveness is a well-documented pattern - the reset sometimes needs a few weeks to catch back up. Did your doctor suggest any changes to the restart protocol?

65 lbs in 6 months with very linear monthly loss is actually rare - most people have more variance. The holiday and vacation deviations when injections were paused briefly is the clearest demonstration of what the medication is doing versus what baseline looks like. 88 lbs and the thin privilege experience the OP is describing is the sociological side of the physical outcome. Congrats on the linear result!
