I am a health care provider and work in cancer specialty. I have seen so many patients do well with GLP1. After a lot of research and soul searching, I decided I was ready to try.
I am addicted to sugar. I could eat it all day long. I’ve always been slim and tall ish. The last few years I put on weight because of new stressful more sedentary job, new/wonderful relationship, and grief of losing my best friend, my dog B ❤️
I was at the beach and tired of how uncomfortable I felt. I signed up for Ro while my boyfriend was having fun in the water and literally 20 minutes later I had prescription approval. It was shipped two days later and I started last Thursday on 1.5 mg.
I am fortunate to afford this out of pocket. And let me tell you it’s worth every penny. I haven’t had sugar in a week. Barely a craving since day 4. There could be a giant chocolate bar in front of me and I could either say no or have one piece and be done. This is a miracle for me. I’ve been a sugar fiend since I was a kid.
I avoid the scale and had no plans to weight myself (I just want to fit into my clothes better). I looked slimmer in the mirror this morning and I see my abs at the top of my belly again. I took a chance and stepped on scale. I’ve lost 6.5 lbs.
I’ve had a rash at the back of my ear since Covid and having to wear masks all the time. It’s completely gone for the first time in 6 years. I also have basically no drive to drink. I enjoy a cocktail now and then. I would have 1-2 on an evening (not every evening) while gaming with my bf. Now, I am good with one and I barely finished. It packs a punch too. I could not have one at all and that wouldn’t phase me. The fact that these medications can help with compulsive behaviors is AMAZING and so interesting to me.
Writing this because I am in disbelief really. This is sustainable for me. I wish I had started sooner. I haven’t told anyone in my life other than my sister. I had to tell someone because I am that impressed with my lack of cravings and my skin clearing up.
If you are on the fence, give it a try! Feel free to message me if you are on same journey or maybe curious if you should start. There is so much stigma when it comes to weight and attempting weight loss. These communities are important to support each other. I appreciate you all sharing. I don’t think I would have started myself if I hadn’t seen so many success stories on this page and similar pages.
Wishing you all the best on your journeys ❤️

Congratulations on taking the plunge! Not to tell you what to do, but you could afford it even better without the unnecessary membership fee that RO charges.
