Well? Last week I had a particularly harrowing 8 hours of agony, stress, and even fear… as googling what was happening to me was sure to kill me. In short, I had a really bad side effect reaction to the Semaglutide. I recently signed up for a Concierge service here in Austin, so I was able to get help from my doctor right away.
I’m feeling much better now, but have made the executive decision to stop the Semaglutide. I’m anxious about regaining weight as I’m writing this. Yet, what happened to me was simply not normal. And I don’t want to put my 65-year old body through that kind of stress.
So, I will check in as time goes on and let you know how it’s going. I’ve maintained that since I started my weight loss journey pre-GLP1, I shouldn’t have the boomerang weight gain others experience. I have changed the way I eat and my relationship with food. The drug definitely reduced my appetite, but realistically, I did not have the significant weight loss I was hoping for by taking it every week.
Anyway, that’s today’s update.
Onwards.
