Compounded semaglutide is dangerous; eat oatmeal

I’ve been overweight my entire life, with the exact same problem. Didn’t matter what I ate, I was always, always hungry. People who do not experience this cannot understand how difficult it is to combat this. I could feel full and still have to eat. When my weight reached 400 pounds nearly 5 years ago an endocrinologist put me on liraglutide, the daily-injection predecessor of Ozempic, then on Ozempic. I lost thirty pounds. Then I moved to the US (Texas) and there was no way to get the drug without OMG-insane levels of cost.

Amen. I’m so happy for you and all those (who need them) who’ve been able to access these meds.
People often don’t understand what they don’t experience and a lack of compassion follows.
I’ve been in a similar boat w eating and always feeling hungry for most of my life. In my 20s, I figured out that if I stayed very active, I could mitigate the weight gain and complications, so I took up mountain climbing. Recent years were not kind to me and I ballooned.
I was fortunate to access six months of Monjauro last year and lost 51lbs. It’s my hope that somehow, access to these will continue to grow for those who need them.
