I lied about my weight to get Mounjaro

[CollectingAllTheACEs]

Just that really.

@Threadreplier - my friend also lost quite a bit of hair 😫

OP - did you ‘hide’ it from friends and family? I think if I couldn’t eat more than a few bites at meals, people close to me would start getting a bit concerned!

Fucking depressing that women choose to end up muscle deficient and nutrient deficient rather than be healthy and strong but one size bigger.

Good on you Op. I’m considering this, am 9.2atone and would want to be between 8.4-8.7. I’ve tried everything this last 2 years. I literally have an extra tyre running in line with my belly bottom all the way round-it sticks out so much so can’t wear trousers! Is this menopause?
Op, where did you lose the weight? All over? What about fat around your organs, does it reduce that too?
Can you reduce the dosage or does everyone start on the same? Is it a pre filled pen? Could my DH get it (he qualifies) and then I use the first couple weeks of his?
I just want to fit in my clothes again!!

I’m exactly 18 bmi. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop the jab. ADHD brain goes right back to binge eating

Do you have the ‘ozempic face’ - so many of my friends are scared to try it because the face - it looks so skeletal…

What dose are you on, OP? Or @cupfinalchaos what dose were you on if you don’t mind me asking?

If you couldn’t manage to lose such a small amount naturally it doesn’t seem likely you’ll be able to keep from gaining it straight back, to be quite honest.

Sorry to add another question before you’ve answered my previous one, but….

Could you recommend your protein shakes, supplements etc?

I’m also on MJ and struggling to eat anything at all which is a bit concerning. Any recommendations would be great as when I google it’s a bit of a minefield!

You and everyone else. So whats new?

OP, I think the major factor in this is that you are a smaller height. Like you, I struggle to lose weight and if I could afford this i would too, BMI isnt an accurate measure of health, especially people at the fringes of height ranges or other factors. I also started gaining weight due to early perimenopause that health providers refuse to recognise, so why wouldn't I go elsewhere?
You've already said you are still in a healthy weight range for your height and are taking supplements, even when not eating you are taking protein shakes. I have no idea why some of these people are having a go 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Wean yourself off them now that you're happy ish with your body, keep up the exercise and keep your portions down.
Best of luck to you 😊

Can I ask what dose you were on & if you had any side effects? Im heavier than we were when you started and have a higher BMI but despite trying everything menopause is not letting me shift a 1lb!
Also, how much was it?

from someone who had had acute pancreatitis 5
times (not from WLI) trust me when I say, be very careful taking WLI (which have side effect of pancreatitis) when you’re in a healthy weight like OP. It’s the most painful thing i’ve ever experienced and I gave birth with no pain relief. Don’t think it always resolves after a month or so either, sometimes it develops into chronic and a life time of pain. It is possible to lose weight naturally and reduce risk of side effects. Lying for meds is never a good thing.

My aunt nearly died and is now left completely incapacitated for life after taking Mounjaro. And she did not lie to get it and she did "need" it.
I wouldn't mess with those drugs. Id rather be fat than eating through a tube thanks.

You think dishonesty is appropriate in order to get weight loss drugs? Because you want them?

I don't understand what the point of this post was? Not in a flippant way, or anything, but because I don't know how to contribute or what to ask? Is it meant to be like a confessional of sorts?

That's rather unethical to lie about, which is interesting given that on another post of yours I just happen to be on, you've said you're 'a huge believer in honesty' due to your ASD

Anyway, a BMI of 23.9 is perfectly normal, if on the higher end of normal, and lying to take a medication that doesn't prevent you from regaining much of the weight you lost once you stop taking it, doesn't seem like a sensible idea.

Putting your bikini body aside for one minute (I'm sure you look fine btw!) are you not worried about the risks to future you from all that visceral fat?

ETA: I'm not having a go at you, promise. But I thought Drs were pretty unanimous in telling us it's fat around the middle we should be concerned about.

You lost 19 pounds in 3 weeks?
That's a bit extreme. Do you think you will be able to keep it off?

Technically I lied to get Wegovy - I didn't have scales handy so I 'rounded up' from my most recent weigh-in to make sure my BMI was over 30.

Got the shock of my life when I did eventually get on the scales and found I was even heavier than my lie!

Presumably she is paying for them. Isn't a better question why should she have to lie?

I didn't even have to lie to get them. Bmi of 28 and got approved on a 6 month plan no problem. So to all those foaming at the mouth leave op alone
There are plenty of jabs to go round for everyone , no need to be jealous 🤗

BMI is outdated and not accurate!! At least 50 years out of date. 8 stone for your height is underweight and carrying on taking WL injections at your age is just asking for further trouble with your eating disorder/body dysmorphia whatever you have

see a psychiatrist - seriously!!!! Before you end up with serious long term problems

Have you suffered any side-effects? What are they?

It's odd that jealousy is assumed, instead of people disapproving of drug seekers lying to access medication - my BMI is actually 18.7 right now, and I'm really struggling to get up to 21, so no envy there at all!

But it seems inappropriate to lie in order to get restricted medication.

load of folk I know have done this too 👍
