My fiance and I are trying to start an exercise routine to get into better shape now that (after eleven years) I finally have answers to What Makes Everything Hurt and How To Make It Not Do That, and it got me thinking about what could have been if I had just had any doctor listen to me when I was in my twenties.
I have never been stick thin--even at my healthiest, I was built like an ox--but I used to bike six miles a day, five days a week. I went to a pilates class M/T/F. I swam laps twice a week if I could manage to fit in the time. I worked a job that was very physically demanding. But I wasn't stick thin, so when I suddenly started having such severe pain I couldn't do anything, it was always blamed on my weight. ALWAYS blamed on my weight. I had a doctor trick me into taking phentermine when I complained about my fatigue, and I only found out what it really was when I came back and he lamented that I hadn't lost weight.
I was literally in so much pain that I had my brother bring a futon mattress down to the living room because I didn't have the wherewithal to make it up the stairs to my room to go to bed. That sudden of a change after being extremely physically active. And they still blamed my fucking weight.
It wasn't until I was in my thirties and started having heart issues that anyone told me anything aside from "lose some weight" and "take an anxiety pill." I found one doctor who didn't immediately blame everything on my weight, and they slapped me with a Zio monitor after the fifteenth time I ended up in the ER for almost blacking out while changing clothes or what-the-fuck-ever, and that led to blood tests and specialists and wow, did you know that I actually have a laundry list of health problems?
Like my thyroid doesn't work right? I have PCOS and a condition that fucks up my hormones and makes me more at-risk for uterine cancer? Did you know that I have an irregular heartbeat because my thyroid was ignored for so long? And that I inherited my dad's fucking psoriatic arthritis that I have been telling doctors about for years but they said I was too young to have it and I just needed to lose weight?
And I got really emotional in the shower earlier because all I could think of is all the years of pain that would have been missed and how much more capable I'd be and how much permanent damage could have been avoided if the very first doctor I went to didn't blame everything on my weight and ignore every fucking thing I said. Because now I can finally wear my favorite shoes again because my ankles aren't swollen so big that I can't zip my boots up (the arthritis did that!) and I am trying to get back into shape (carefully, because the heart thing!) and I'm just very, very mad thinking about all the things I haven't done just because I hurt so bad, for legitimate I Am Fucking Sick reasons, and everyone just said, "You're fat. That's why."
If anyone ever tries to tell you that all your problems are because of your weight, you should fucking kick them in the face.

Do you have a perspective on why stimulants aren’t currently widely prescribed as weight loss drugs? Im guessing it’s related to it being a ‘controlled substance’ and ‘scary drug’ but drug marketing in pursuit of pharmaceutical profits is pretty powerful… I wonder why I haven’t seen (effective?) efforts to try to ‘overhaul’ the image of stimulants as only associated with “addiction”, “hyperactive children”, finance bros, and “lazy adults”.
I know vyvanse is also prescribed for binge eating but I get the sense most people are unaware of that. I tried many stimulants and I had the most rapid and “easy” (found food repulsive) weight loss on vyvanse. Granted all of the many prescribed stimulants I’ve tried all greatly suppress my appetite.And I’ve seen it described as a benefit by some people who have it prescribed for adhd (I understand why people do and I sometimes see it as a very depressing benefits because lack of food security despite). Binge eating disorder and prescribing for general weight loss aren’t too far from each other in the fatphobic society we live in but I guess I’m curious how it hasn’t had the ozempic treatment already/ when will it happen. People already look down of folks who can’t function by society’s standards in certain contexts and I see that similarity in how people talk about people who take ozempic for weight loss (admonishing and a moral failure).
stimulants absolutely still are prescribed for weight loss lol, in addition to Vyvanse for 'binge eating' (v unreliable diagnosis that many people receive when they are in fact dealing with subjective loss of control around food as a direct result of restrictive behaviours...) there's also Desoxyn (methamphetamine) and Phentermine (a substituted amphetamine), which are both still FDA-approved for short-term weight management. and yes that's Phentermine as in half of fen-phen. you also have to keep in mind that off-label prescribing is hard to track but is probably still occurring at not-insignificant rates (i know it happens with Ephedra and Clenbuterol, for example). and then there are also patients who use stimulants for weight loss without a doctor's knowledge, either by obtaining them on the black market or by simply getting a doctor to prescribe them for something else.
anyway in regards to pharma marketing strategies i think there are a few things going on here:
weight loss has never actually been the sole market for these drugs, nor was it the first. amphetamine was first synthesised in 1929; it was put into asthma inhalers almost immediately and by the late 30s was being sold as a kind of generalised wellness-producing drug, used by, for instance, college students as a 'pep pill'. the Allies used quite a bit of amphetamine in WWII to keep soldiers alert (the US military was still doing this in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s; afaik they have not stopped this practice). by the late 50s stimulants were also marketed as pick-me-ups for unhappy housewives and for a dizzying array of depression 'subtypes' (postpartum, old age-related, disability-related) and 'modern miseries' (atomic anxiety, economic and political unrest). it wasn't until the 50s and 60s that stimulants really started to be marketed as diet pills, with 'overeating' configured as a symptom of depression. even those formulations also had other use markets: professional athletes, for example. i'm sure pharma companies would love to have the stimulant dominance they once did in weight loss, but it's not really necessary in order to move product: these days the ADHD diagnosis will generally do the job just fine. nicolas rasmussen's book On Speed has more on this history.
speaking of the ADHD diagnosis, i have observed that in the last two or so decades, it has increasingly been invoked in bioessentialist narratives of either 'chemical imbalances' (usually dopamine, norepinephrine) or distinct 'neurotypes' that are said to cause, worsen, or be susceptible to 'overeating', which can therefore be treated by the use of stimulant drugs. i strongly suspect an effect here is that 'overeating', weight gain, or 'obesity' are de facto being used as diagnostic criteria for ADHD, or for other psychiatric diagnoses considered to have high overlap in behavioural presentation. this is not dissimilar to the formulation in the 60s of 'overeating' as a result of depression; in both cases the narrative elides the appetite-suppressant effects of stimulants and presents them as aiding with weight loss by treating an underlying bio/psychiatric pathology. an interesting historical note here is that Adderall is simply a rebrand of the second-gen formulation of the weight-loss drug Obetrol.
presently, weight loss is largely marketed using the language of health rather than aesthetics. although pharma companies are certainly not morally above lying, i do think it would be a tough pill to swallow (pun intended) if they tried to convince anyone that a stimulant prescription is part of this sort of 'wellness' scene. that could change in the future, ofc; these perceptions and associations are socially and historically contingent. in the US even as recently as the 90s, people were definitely still presenting fen-phen as health-promoting (tautologically, because it caused weight loss!), at least until the valve disease scandal.
glp-1 agonists like ozempic are, i think, getting a lot of extremely credulous coverage, from both the medical establishment and health journalists, that is obfuscating the fact that they basically also work by suppressing the appetite. whether it is 'healthier' to do this with a substance that alters endocrine function than to do it with a substance that acts on adrenergic receptors is unclear to me. certainly there are many 'side effects' of the glp-1 agonists that are simply the results of rapid / significant weight loss (fatigue, weakness, osteoporosis, hair loss, gallstones, 'ozempic face', &c). that a process that causes these things can be marketed as health-promoting is a whole other topic lol. but i think the perception of the glp-1 agonists as healthful weight-loss agents has to do with certain misunderstandings of diabetes, metabolism, and body weight, as well as a degree of... not quite blackboxing, but something adjacent, on the part of pharma companies in their promotional materials. which is to say, it wouldn't surprise me if, in the future, people looked back at glp-1 agonists as also being risky drugs to use for weight loss, and only being worth using in specific, limited circumstances.

It's been so long since I posted on here. The physical food journal didn't really pan out well. My toddler kept getting my pens and it just became stressful. I really haven't been watching what I've been eating since I had my tooth pulled on May 31st. It's a miracle I still managed to lose some weight and then only gained a tiny bit back.
My doctor gave me the option to start metformin because my a1c was borderline high. I decided to give it a shot. And because of that I can get phentermine from the clinic longer / lose more weight before they can't give them to me anymore.

Persons with Overweight, nowadays, have become a menace for their family as well as for the society at large.
These overweight persons are attacked by many diseases and at least cannot lead a normal healthy and happy life.
Also overweight causes Obesity to a person. A person with Obesity does not look nice and smart to attract opposite sex.
Now, realizing the risk, persons with overweight are in the look out for means of Weight Loss.
Along with many other ways for weight loss, like taking controlled healthy diet, regular exercise etc., Diet Pills have come out in the market for weight Loss that, in some cases, yield good and satisfactory results.
There are a number of Diet Pills available in the market, particularly in on line stores. Among them are drugs like Phentermine, Xenical, and Solidax ADX etc. Which are prominent in the market. There are many others fighting in the market for customers.
However, effectiveness of these diet pills is uncertain. Studies have been conducted by many researchers regarding this. But results of them are not easily available.
Scientists of Weight Loss Institute have conducted thorough research about this and based upon their findings we highlight a few of them below:
 Diet Pills like Phentermine, although a prescription Drug, have reports of serious side effects. However, the Drug is effective in Weight Management. But problem is that, many on line stores market poor quality Phentermine and their effectiveness are doubtful, although consumers may not know it. So People should be sure to take the appropriate drugs with consultation of an experienced Physician.
 Diet Pills like Xenical also have serious side effects. However, the Drug is especially effective in Weight Management for patients with high blood pressure or diabetes etc. Doctors should be consulted before taking this Diet Pills.
There are more Diet Pills in the market like Kava-Herbal, Brontril, Meridia etc. each having its effectiveness with side effects also. Our space is limited to discuss about all of them.
Thus, if you are overweight, Diet Pills may create magic to you but if not checked properly, you may be at risk also.
We would suggest that Diet Pills might be one of the solutions to Weight Loss- supplemented by a comprehensive Weight Management Program, provided, it was taken with the supervision of an experienced Physician, expert in this field. Also availability of good quality of Drugs should be ensured for best results. Still risks are there for side effects, which should be taken care of by the Physician prescribing them.

**cw for weight mention, medical shit, and body image
alright so after four months on metformin, I think it’s safe to say my body didn’t really respond to it. My dr still wants me to continue it, to keep my blood sugar stable. But as far as weight management is concerned this isn’t really the medication for me.
I did bring up ozempic, but in my dr’s opinion I’m not a great candidate for it, for whatever reason. I choose to trust her judgment though. Instead, she wants to prescribe me phentermine, an anorectic/appetite suppressant. The meds should be arriving this week or the next and I plan to start it as soon as I get it.
I’m a little scared though. Phentermine has some worrying side effects including heart problems and psychosis, both of which I have a history of. I also read it can give you anxiety and mood swings. I know everyone is different though and medication affects everyone differently. So I’m willing to take the risk if it means getting some better results. I will keep an eye on my health though, as that takes priority over whatever negative feelings I have about my weight. If anything starts to go south in terms of my heart or my mental health I’m going to stop the meds.
I really hope they work though. I’m tired of continuously gaining weight and I can feel it taking a toll on my body. I don’t even care about the ~aesthetics~ or being skinny anymore I just want to do things without getting out of breath, or to sleep comfortably in bed, or be able to even get out of bed without struggling so much, or be able to walk without my feet hurting, or to stop feeling like my organs are being crushed

Safe Weight Loss Medicine and Tejocote Root: A Balanced Approach
Safe Weight Loss Medicine
When looking for safe weight loss medicine, it’s important to understand that not all medications or supplements are created equal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a limited number of prescription medications for weight loss, such as Orlistat (Xenical), Phentermine, and Lorcaserin. These medications have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness when used under medical supervision.
Prescription weight loss drugs often work by suppressing appetite, blocking the absorption of fat, or increasing metabolism. However, they can have side effects, including headaches, digestive issues, and increased heart rate. For those seeking alternatives, natural supplements like Tejocote root have become popular. But how safe and effective are they?
Tejocote Root Weight Loss
Tejocote root comes from the small Mexican hawthorn tree (Crataegus mexicana), and its extract has been used for centuries in traditional Mexican medicine. More recently, it has gained popularity for its purported weight loss benefits. Some users report significant changes in body composition, decreased appetite, and improved metabolism after taking this supplement.
However, it's essential to take a cautious approach when considering Tejocote root weight loss supplements. Unlike prescription medications, the safety and effectiveness of many herbal supplements aren't regulated by the FDA. This means that while some people may experience weight loss, others might not see the same results or could face potential side effects, such as nausea, stomach cramps, or diarrhea.
Reviews for Tejocote root weight loss products vary widely. Some users rave about the results, claiming they lost weight quickly and naturally, while others experienced adverse reactions or saw little to no improvement. As with any supplement, the results can differ based on an individual's body composition, metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
Tejocote Root Extract Benefits
Despite the mixed reviews for Tejocote root weight loss, the root does offer some potential health benefits beyond shedding pounds. Tejocote root extract benefits include:
High in fiber: Tejocote root is a good source of fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce cravings. By promoting satiety, fiber can help in managing hunger and overeating.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: The root contains vital nutrients like calcium, potassium, and iron. These minerals are essential for maintaining overall health, supporting cardiovascular function, and strengthening bones.
Detoxification properties: Some advocates of Tejocote root claim that it helps cleanse the body by promoting the removal of toxins. This may contribute to overall wellness and aid in weight management.
While these benefits sound appealing, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, especially one that could affect your metabolism or digestive system.
Tejocote Root Weight Loss Reviews
Tejocote root weight loss reviews provide a broad spectrum of experiences, ranging from extremely positive to negative. Those who had success with the root often praise its natural approach to weight loss, with fewer synthetic chemicals involved compared to prescription medications. However, some users experienced mild to severe side effects, which included bloating, gas, or even allergic reactions.
Because the root acts as a natural diuretic, it’s essential to maintain adequate hydration and a balanced diet while using it. In many cases, weight loss is primarily due to water loss, which can be temporary unless combined with proper exercise and nutrition. As with any weight loss product, the best results are achieved with a well-rounded approach that includes lifestyle changes.

Anyone here have experience with a medication called phentermine? My doctor prescribed it to me for weight management. I start it soon and I’m a bit nervous because I’ve heard it can be bad for anxiety and mood swings and could possibly trigger psychosis.

Exploring Advanced Treatments for Obesity: Options and Considerations
Tumblr media
The global prevalence of obesity has skyrocketed, leading many individuals to seek effective treatments beyond diet and exercise. Obesity is not just a cosmetic issue; it's a chronic medical condition that can trigger severe health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and joint disorders. Traditional methods of weight loss work for some, but for others, advanced treatments may be necessary. This article explores the most promising options for obesity treatment, helping you understand the considerations involved in each approach.
Understanding Obesity and Its Challenges
Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat, typically determined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It’s not a one-size-fits-all condition. Genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, and underlying medical issues all play a role. What works for one person might not work for another.
For many people, obesity is more than just a matter of willpower. Diets and exercise, while beneficial, often don’t lead to lasting weight loss. According to the World Health Organization, more than 650 million adults worldwide are obese, highlighting the need for more advanced treatments.
The complications of obesity can affect nearly every system in the body. From increased risks of Type 2 diabetes to sleep apnea and cardiovascular diseases, the stakes are high. That’s why it’s crucial to explore all available treatment avenues, especially when conventional methods have not been successful.
Advanced Treatment Options for Obesity
When diet and exercise aren’t enough, advanced medical treatments become essential. Here are the primary treatment options available today:
1. Medications for Weight Loss
Weight loss medications can be prescribed to people struggling to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone. These medications work by reducing appetite or increasing feelings of fullness. Some common medications include:
Orlistat: Reduces the absorption of dietary fats.
Phentermine-topiramate: A combination drug that reduces appetite and helps control cravings.
Liraglutide: A daily injection that mimics a hormone regulating hunger and fullness.
Each medication comes with its own set of side effects and considerations. For example, while Orlistat is effective, it can lead to gastrointestinal issues. It’s essential to have a thorough discussion with your doctor to find the most suitable option for your needs.
2. Semaglutide for Weight Loss
One of the latest breakthroughs in obesity treatment is dermatologyalliancetx, originally developed to manage Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide has been shown to significantly reduce body weight in clinical trials. It works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps control appetite and food intake.
Patients using semaglutide for weight loss have reported substantial and sustained weight loss over time, making it a game-changer in obesity treatment. However, it is important to take this medication under medical supervision to avoid potential side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Bariatric Surgery: A Permanent Solution?
For individuals with severe obesity, bariatric surgery is another option worth considering. This procedure physically alters the digestive system to limit food intake or nutrient absorption. While it can lead to dramatic weight loss, it’s not without risks and requires lifelong commitment to dietary changes and medical monitoring.
Types of Bariatric Surgery
Gastric Bypass: This surgery involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and rerouting the digestive tract. It’s highly effective but comes with risks like malnutrition and complications related to surgery.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure removes a portion of the stomach, reducing the amount of food you can eat at one time. It also has long-term success rates and fewer complications than gastric bypass.
Considerations for Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery can be life-changing, but it’s not suitable for everyone. Candidates typically have a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 with obesity-related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. You’ll need to be mentally prepared for the strict lifestyle changes required after surgery, including a lifelong commitment to diet, exercise, and possibly supplements to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Surgery should always be considered a last resort after exploring all other options. While the outcomes are often positive, the risks—both physical and emotional—shouldn’t be underestimated.
Behavioral Therapy and Lifestyle Changes
It’s important to note that regardless of which treatment you choose, combining it with behavioral therapy and lifestyle changes is critical for long-term success. Advanced treatments may help reduce body weight, but maintaining that loss requires a commitment to ongoing healthy habits.
The Role of Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy helps address the psychological aspects of obesity. Many individuals struggle with emotional eating or unhealthy habits rooted in stress, depression, or anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been particularly effective in helping people change their relationship with food and physical activity.
Lifestyle Adjustments for Long-Term Success
Small changes can lead to big results over time:
Portion control: Practice mindful eating and avoid oversized portions.
Physical activity: Incorporate regular exercise into your routine, even if it’s just a daily walk.
Sleep and stress management: Poor sleep and high stress can contribute to weight gain. Focus on getting enough rest and reducing stress levels.
Making these lifestyle adjustments alongside any advanced treatment will significantly increase your chances of maintaining your weight loss over the long term.
Conclusion
Advanced treatments for obesity provide hope for those who have struggled to lose weight through conventional means. Whether through medications, such as semaglutide, or bariatric surgery, these options are designed to complement lifestyle changes and behavioral therapy. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any treatment plan, as they can guide you toward the most effective and safest options. By combining advanced treatments with healthy habits, you can take control of your weight and improve your overall quality of life.
