      Congratulations. Please be very vigilant about monitoring GI side effects though, my SO was hospitalized because of Ozempic and is now in a class action lawsuit because the manufacturer did not reveal it can cause gastroparesis.

        Im specifically on zepbound which apparently has less side affects. But damn that first week was a literal shit show.

      I did not know hypo caused that, I’ve been trying off and on for years to drop weight. I was diagnosed years ago. I did see my weight go up but I assumed it was because I left the service and wasn’t doing PT regularly anymore. I’ve been stuck at -16lbs for months now. Awesome to hear that, might peruse a similar angle myself now.

        My doc was telling me that people with hypothyroidism dont have a “set weight” or a weight that your body is comfortable at because everything is broken and terrible. So yeah. Definitely ask.
