I’ve been on this journey for a year now, and I suspect I will need to find a way to afford this medication for life.
I’ve lost 85lbs and feel so much better for it. I’m active, my periods have regulated, my liver disease is in reverse. I can do more with my kids.
I can see the difference in pictures but when I look down at my body, I still see the exact same person. I’m struggling with the mental side of the changes to my body. I still feel like the biggest person in the room. I am also so embarrassed that I’ve lost that much weight and I am still fat. It shows how morbidly obese I was, and instead of pride at losing, I have guilt over where I got to before. That I let myself get that big.
I am also now getting the fear about if I have to come off the medication. I’m so scared of going back to where I was. Anyhow…anyone else feeling the same?
