Good god it happened to me

[hamadryad]

Sorry, this seems very alarmist. But I am horrified by what has happened. I realize fully that this is a first world problem. I started mouranjo in February for various health reasons, one of which I was obese. Well the pounds flew off me at a freakish speed, so much so that my Dr told me to stop 7 weeks ago- which I did. Here is the problem. I HAVE NEVER GOT MY APPETITE BACK. I am now classed as underweight. I have absolutely no interest in food and have to force myself to eat. I now have very low blood pressure. This is a nightmare. Am I just going to shrink away? I’m living off protein and meal replacement shakes because I find it so hard to swallow food. And part of me feels like I deserve it. I’m catholic. Wil it end? Does anyone else know of this happening?!!! Is it my fault?

Sounds like an awfully short time to go from "obese" to underweight. Good god and all.

We can see went too far, that doesn’t mean she abused the pills. She didn’t need to.

Gluttony is my second favourite sin, so being absolved by the power of mouranjo must be a good thing.

Or non religious person.

Not a Catholic but completely understood the point.

Sharon Osbourne must be a medical marvel since long term appetite loss isn't a physiologically possible side effect of glp1 use

It is a known side-effect for those who asked. Gastroparesis is part of how the drug works (slowing stomach emptying), but in rare cases, it can cause long-term gastroparesis. Usually, it will resolve on its own in time, but occasionally it needs medication or surgery.

Loss of appetite and (psychological) difficulty swallowing are symptoms of gastroparesis.

There is no evidence that GLP1a cause long term or permanent gastroparesis

Are you sure its definitely that? I had a horrible vomiting bug last summer and despite feeling well and back at work 4 days later I lost my appetite for a month. Have you had any bugs?

I wish I could say the same. I’ve lost 6llbs in 2 months! I don’t think my weight gain is actually due to food noise. I’m not sure what to do but I’m jealous right now!

There is, but as I said, it is rare.

That doesn't seem too bad? I know some people lose a lot more quickly, but slow and steady is good too.

I am also Catholic. You do not 'deserve it' There is nothing sinful about using GLP Jabs. Also I have realized that weight and gluttony are not always so straightforward. It’s not a sin to be fat.
Yes Gluttony is a sin- but it’s nuanced eg cravings, blood sugar issues can cause cravings as can PMT and issues like PCOS and nutritional deficiencies.
Also having calorie counted for the last 11 months I have realised how many many calories there are in takeaways, resturant meals, and modern convenience food! So I realised that a lot of my weight gain wasn’t gluttony at all. It was not understanding the sheer amount of calories in food.
Have you come off the GLP injections?
I would speak to your doctor and ask to speak to a specialist and get some tests to make sure nothing else is going in in your stomach and gut. Just to rule things out.

Oh dear. Sense of humour failure 🙄

I am literally agog people actually believe this. 😂

Medication side effects shocker.

This stuff is not good. Raw oats and peas are not digestible. The synthetic nutrients they put in it are bad too. Doing it yourself properly i.e. having porridge for breakfast and pea soup for dinner is sensible and likely significantly cheaper.

Gluttony is the sin in Catholicism.
Taking a drug to 'undo' this sin would be potentially seen as cheating in the eyes of God and therefore punishable.

(I'm not religious but come from a catholic background)

Quite! Some posters are so gullible.

difficulty swallowing is a red flag symptom - get it checked out.

I think some want to believe it sigh.

Why wouldn't people believe it? It is a known but very rare side effect of GLP-1s. That's not to say it shouldn't be available to people who need it, but they should be aware of the potential side effects.

The cultish defense and obsession with GLP-1s is odd and worrying. It is a medication with potentially life-threatening side effects, not the second coming.

The benefits of it need to be weighed up against the side effects. It should only be used for people whose health is at serious risk from obesity, not for those who need to lose a couple of stones.

The conclusion of this study is as follows

Conclusions There is an increased incidence of gastroparesis among individuals with obesity without T2D who are using semaglutide as compared with bupropion-naltrexone and sleeve gastrectomy

That doesn't say anything about long term gastroparesis following cessation of the drug which is what is being claimed.

This Isn't a side effect. It doesn't exist.

It's not though. Long term gastroparesis or appetite loss following cessation of GLP1s isn't evidenced.

I fear in a few more years, alot of women are going to come forward with problems due to the skinny jabs.
And really expose the real truth that wasn't giving to them in the first place.
Same as fillers and botox.

Some story's are already out there.
And it's just awful.
