quit sema after 11 months and 65 lbs because I thought I'd "learned…

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.

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

things i learned the hard way on retatrutide: the nausea peaks at week 3 not week 1 alcohol becomes literally toxic, one beer = food poisoning sulfur burps mean you're titrating too fast the "ozempic face" thing is real and arrives at month 4 nobody tells you any of this until you post about it
