I’m on the shot. I don’t want to be on it for life, but I’m assuming it will get cheaper soon.
A few years back I hit 300 and was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. F that. That was my rock bottom. I immediately changed my diet and lost about 25 pounds right away. Got off the pre-diabetic meds and am no longer. Lost another 10 and got to 265. Then got stuck there. I could maintain, but could never get under 260.
Started Ozempic in Jan. I’m current sitting at 235. My goal is to lose another 20 more, then level off. I look and feel better than I have in over 15 years.
I’ve had a total of 7 spine surgeries since the age of 30. Working out is very difficult. Going for walks is about all I can do. I also battle pretty severe depression. Unhealthy eating was a huge problem for me. If you haven’t ever experienced it, I don’t recommend it. Depressed from eating too much, eating too much because I’m depressed. It sucked.
I started with Ozemoic and now get my Semaglutide through a compounding pharmacy. BCBS denied the Ozempic script after the first two months.
