Back - AGAIN - 14+ years post-op
THE LATEST UPDATE: (since starting Semaglutide injections 5 months ago)
I have continued to feel like the "old" (post-surgical) me, the REAL me, both physically and mentally. The weight is still coming off steadily, and I'm at only just over half of what they consider a therapeutic dose (12.5 units, where most people are up to 20 units starting the third month). I'm down 38 lbs with 14 to go til my post-surgical stable weight of 172 lbs. WOO-HOO! I do intend to go past that this time and get to my fantasy weight of 160...but I'm solidly down a size and a half and back into 12s. My 10s are hanging there teasing me. :D I am sooooo thankful that I decided to try this. With past experience, knowledge, and the benefit of hindsight, I know I can keep it off this time. :)
Thanks for the update. I know a few people who have been on Semaglutide, and all are doing well. I know there's controversy surrounding weight loss meds. But the bottom line is, do what works.
