From Nausea To Emotional Numbness, People On GLP-1s Are Sharing What It’s Really Like

“It’s the weird places you lose weight that I didn’t expect. I had to get my glasses resized because they kept slipping off my face. My watch doesn’t fit my wrist anymore either. It’s also fascinating to see angles and feel bones that were previously covered in a thick layer of fat. Eating-wise, I had to stop eating Christmas dinner four bites in because I was stuffed. And all calories count to fill your stomach. Empty calories are now filling. I’ve also experienced a ton of nausea and acid reflux, so that has not been fun.”

“On the other side, exercise also now counts. Before semaglutide, I was working out three to five times a week and never losing weight or gaining muscle. Now I can do a 10-minute workout, and those muscles are actually getting stronger, and I’m becoming leaner. To me, this medicine is amazing, but like everything else, it’s not for everyone.”
