Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update after being on this med for 8 months. I started at 235 lbs, and now I'm down to 178 lbs. At my heaviest, I was 292 lbs. My waist went from 43 inches to 34 inches. I feel like I've regained my face, my confidence, and myself. Along with lifestyle changes, everything else followed. My life improved so much! I'm posting before and after pics as encouragement. It's definitely worth considering!
Yes, there's some sagging skin! Strength training and core exercises are helping, but I'm planning on a tummy tuck that my insurance may cover. I'll know more after the consult. My thighs will probably need some work too. But skin can keep adjusting for up to a year after reaching maintenance, so who knows what will happen there.
I want to drop another 24 lbs, which shouldn't be a problem. Initially, it was about 2 lbs a week, but around 190 lbs, my body adjusted, and I stalled. Now, it's going down again, about 2 lbs a month, or sometimes more. Slow and steady!
Good luck to everyone on their journey!
