Two specific things.

My wife & I bought a house! 🎉
My doctors got me on ozempic because i have hypothyroidism & i literally cannot lose weight. Ive dropped 20 lbs in a month & a half!

Congratulations. Please be very vigilant about monitoring GI side effects though, my SO was hospitalized because of Ozempic and is now in a class action lawsuit because the manufacturer did not reveal it can cause gastroparesis.

Im specifically on zepbound which apparently has less side affects. But damn that first week was a literal shit show.

I did not know hypo caused that, I’ve been trying off and on for years to drop weight. I was diagnosed years ago. I did see my weight go up but I assumed it was because I left the service and wasn’t doing PT regularly anymore. I’ve been stuck at -16lbs for months now. Awesome to hear that, might peruse a similar angle myself now.

My doc was telling me that people with hypothyroidism dont have a “set weight” or a weight that your body is comfortable at because everything is broken and terrible. So yeah. Definitely ask.

Wait, how. Why can't you loose weight? How does it come, that you can't loose weight with a calories deficit? I'm really curious.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 3 points 4 months ago

Hypothyroidism is a hormone imbalance and one of the side effects of that is weight gain. Additionally, to supplement your hormone deficiency, the medication you take causes you to gain weight. A lot of people cannot control their weight with hypothyroidism. This medication is kind-of a god send.

Thanks for the explanation.
