Can't sleep. Worried that morbidly obese DS is going to die young

[AngelikiEvangelia]

He is 20. His 2XL t-shirts that used to swamp him are now too tight. He gets breathless walking even short distances.

I feel like I'm watching him deteriorate in front of my eyes but there's nothing I can do. His addiction to junk food is too strong.

I keep thinking back to him as a baby, a toddler, a young child and it's breaking my heart. He was so happy, so full of life and energy - and now his life is so small and he's so sad and he just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I can't bear it. I had him quite young and am facing the very real prospect of outliving him if something doesn't change. All I want is for him to be OK.

Just get the injections , life changing I know 5 people who have had them and it’s changed their life . Just try one first and see . Surely there’s nothing to loose . Go on Numan it will be hear before Monday and he will have hope again as the food noise will stop

Sounds ideal candidate for mounjaro. Well worth the investment

Iny case i stopped a few months ago and the weight hasn't started to creep back on. In fact I was still 7kg overweight and I continued to lose it without the injections. But then my desire to eat sugary stuff hasn't returned either.
It was a concern of mine that I'd have to stay on it long term or get fat again. It hasn't been the case so far though. It's as though my body/brain adjusted to eating less and healthily and it's stayed that way even without the drug.
I was only ever in a low dose though (5mg). I didn't want to increase the dose every month as I thought I might end up reliant on it. I also felt it was working at 5mg so I didn't see any reason to increase. So maybe the low dosage has something to do with the fact that I haven't had rebound weight gain or the return of food cravings. It might be different for people who have taken the maximum 15mg dose for a long time.

Edit- I stopped by accident too. I went away on holiday and didn't take a pen with me. While away, I realised the cravings hadn't returned so I just never ordered it again.
