lost 40 lbs on sema and got pregnant for the first time in 8 years of…

A growth on my left side, the hydrocele, had been bothering me for a long time. It had swollen to roughly the size of a small plum, big enough that doctors were talking surgery. After I started Ozempic it slowly came down on its own over a couple of months until it was back to normal. I actually didn't realize how much it had settled until I went in for an MRI on a fatty lump on my thigh, which had only become visible once I lost weight. The scan happened to capture the old swelling too and graded it as nothing more than minor.

quit sema after 11 months and 65 lbs because I thought I'd "learned new habits." the food noise was back in 3 weeks and it came back LOUDER than before I started. gained 20 in two months. it's not a course you finish, it's a tool you keep using. wish someone had been honest with me about that before I started.

took semaglutide for 14 months. gained it all back in 4. nobody warned me the (off ramp) was a cliff from fat to pretty and back to fat & ugly
