GOOD POST

The only thing I’m skeptical about is that 10 year timeframe. 10 years for a massive decrease in childhood obesity? Absolutely. But for the adults that already have it, obesity is a disease and it’s not something you can propagandize your way into getting better.

The cost, especially for people with diabetes, is so unfair. I don’t know why I was approved but I’m definitely thankful. I appreciate the kind words

Damn, good thing I was already not drinking. Didn’t know about the sudden drunkenness thing

This is now my headcanon

She’s a boomer woman who only plays mobile games like candy crush. But I really do with she would mind her own fucking business. She never does.

Do you mind speaking a bit on how it helped with alcohol? I don’t drink much at this point in my life but I’m working on being stricter about it because it’s real bad for my ADHD

I’m cheating all day every day. I’m a cheater from way back.

The only person I’ve ever heard openly refer to medical intervention for weight loss as “cheating” is one of the worst people I know. Not that I’ve never had that particular brainworm shaming me for not trying hard enough. At the end of the day, weight loss is not a sport. You can’t cheat at it. I can’t recommend it for weight loss because I started it 2 days ago and have only lost water weight so far, but for dealing with incessant cravings it’s been a game changer already.

My partner actually got the bariatric sleeve done and I would have qualified for it no problem. I had 0 confidence I would be able to stick to the liquid diet they put you on prior to the procedure, even for a short period of time. My compulsions to eat were incredibly strong.

That said, the sleeve worked incredibly well for my partner and the reset it gives you has done her wonders

I wish our food supply was healthier and the capitalist hellscape didn't make me overeat from stress.

Me and my wife are looking for a third

Yeah I’d heard it described that way and thought there was no way it would live up to the hype but so far it’s blown me away

I’m glad you ended up finding something that works

Right? I just watched someone close to me go through medication after medication for a mental health issue. It took over a year to find the right combo and it’s still precarious. Having something that just works is astounding

Vyvanse is approved for use in treating binge eating disorder, although outcomes can vary. For me, it’s helped curb my cravings and ambient eating a lot. I don’t have the problem of failing to eat entirely, but I was also relying on food noise and routine to help me eat in the first place, so I’d imagine losing the hunger altogether when you’re used to relying on it would be difficult. I’d be a lot bigger if not for my Vyvanse. I’d also probably be unemployed among other things, but that’s another story.

Thank you! It’s feeling about as liberating as starting my ADHD meds did

I also wanna say I’d rather not have people speculating about my quality of life regarding my weight like what happened last time I made a post about my weight. I go on regular hikes. I play with my kids. I run up and down my stairs like a child on the regular. My weight has, thankfully, not had any adverse effects on my mobility, my breathing, my blood pressure, or my quality of life. My eating is another story. I don’t want any pity for what skinny people imagine it’s like to be 400 lbs. I’m more documenting my experience for anyone who has struggled with their eating or has experienced fatphobia.
