[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 19 points 2 years ago* (3 children) 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! permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago Im specifically on zepbound which apparently has less side affects. But damn that first week was a literal shit show. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pharceface@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 point 2 years ago Thanks for the explanation. permalink fedilink source parent
