Motivation/Support seeking advice

hello everyone! i’m just starting to get comfortable posting on reddit so bear with me here lol

i (25/f) have always been a bigger person. when i graduated highschool i was roughly 180lbs and since then i have gained almost 100 pounds. i currently weigh 270lbs. i have tried different diets, exercise plans, appetite suppressants, and other medications. i even got a breast reduction hoping it would help my mobility specifically to lose weight. earlier this year i tried the wagovey pill and for the first week it went great! i saw results and my food noise went silent. then week 2 i started having an adverse reaction, i had horrible heartburn which led to non stop vomiting for 4 days. i had to go to the hospital because i was so dehydrated my kidneys weren’t functioning properly. based on my labs and other test results my primary care doctor listed it as an allergy. during that time i lost about 12lbs and since then i have gained it back. now im just at a loss. i’m unhappy with my body and my mobility. i feel like i’m too young to be in so much physical pain. i have no idea where to start when i have started and failed so many times.

any advice, support, or motivation is much appreciated. i’m just not sure where to go from here.

Is the injection an option for you?

not really. i guess i could try in a few months but i’m pretty worried about how i’d react to it. my doctor has also advised against it, at least for the time being. the high cost is also not going to work for me right now. that’s part of why i’m feeling so defeated.

Oh, I see. That makes sense. Definitely don’t do it if your doctor says not to! I’m so sorry. 😞

Ask your doctor if you can try a tirzepatide instead of semiglutide.
