Did either of you experience any side effects from the medication? My sister is seriously contemplating wegovy? But is hearing some scary things.

I only have some manageable nausea.

I know probably a dozen people on some version of this drug. My observations are that they all lost a good deal of weight and the side effects vary from mild to nearly non existent. I am not on this drug but I have watched my wife use it and now she is on a tiny amount (maintenance amount I suppose) and it has performed amazingly. She’s happy, she’s healthy, she’s back at the weight she was when we married. Unless she dies of something these meds caused I would come close to calling this a “miracle” drug, ie fantastic results with no (so far) side effects. The diet/fitness people hate this drug but combined with a reasonable fitness routine it is a tough combo to beat. I suspect this will be OTC eventually. It’s been approved (diabetes) since 2016 I believe so there is data out there.

Thanks for your information guys. I’ll let her know!

I got some weird numbers(triglycerides) last year when I had my annual-doc and I thought it was due to the week of drinking I did in Jamaica the week before. She sent me for a untrasound on my liver to rule out anything there.

This year the number was still high. I’ve been on a statin for a decade due to my stroke although I never had high cholesterol.

I had a physical in February this year and the number is still high. Total cholesterol is 192, tri-418,Hdl-34, no ldl was given

So I talked to my best friend whose wife has fatty liver disease and knows things. I began keeping track of my diet with an app. Basically eliminating carbs to go into keto. And I’ve been keto diet and carnivore since. (Which is similar to my regular diet minus carbs). Quit drinking all together. Taking niacin 3/wk to flush my system and NAC to help remove fat from my liver.

In 30 days I’ve lost 15 lbs down from 185 to 170. No extra exercise or walking just limiting what I eat. And going carb and calorie deficit.

I just sent a request to do another blood test to see where my numbers are. She hasn’t responded.

The worst thing is black coffee with no sugar. Now I have a cup of hate first thing and plot on the world. Muhahahaha
