I tried GLP-1s for months and never lost even one pound. What do you think?

Ozempic shots made me vomit over and over, but still didn't lose any body fat.

Rybelsis, which is the same medication but in pill form, didn't seem to do anything either.

Why is it that everything that supposedly works for other people never works for me?

The only diet I've ever done which sort of worked at first was a Zero Carbs diet, which made me lost around 43 pounds total, but I've actually gained half of that back since then, because the diet stopped working. I only eat about 1600 Calories per day, but I keep gaining weight. I'm up to 226lbs again this morning, which is the heaviest I've been in six years. I want to get back down to 185lbs again somehow, but it seems hopeless.

I don't drink sugary drinks nor do I add sugar nor salt to anything I eat. I eat a modest amount of protein each day, probably around 60 to 70 grams. I make sure to eat at least 50 grams per day for man over 40 years old.

I need to exercise more I guess, but it's hard to do that when I'm constantly nursing muscle strains and have had four TIA, two of which are well-documented.

I fear if I don't get my health back under control soon, I'm going to check out soon. Understand?

I know how frustrating this can feel, especially when you’re trying so hard and nothing seems to work.

One gentle place to start could be daily walking. It’s great not only for physical movement but also for mental health. Walking can actually change how fat cells behave, and it doesn’t have to be intense. You can start very slowly. Just getting your body moving consistently is already a big step, especially if traditional exercise feels hard or overwhelming.

This might sound strange or even uncomfortable to hear, but sometimes healing begins when we stop fighting so hard. Constantly battling your body can create a lot of stress, and stress can make weight loss even more difficult. Practicing acceptance doesn’t mean giving up, it means meeting your body where it is right now. For many people, acceptance is a powerful first step toward real, lasting change.

Be patient and kind to yourself. Your body is not your enemy, and healing often happens in ways we don’t expect.

Were you taking it because you are a Diabetic or for weight loss?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Well, both, but it didn't help. I'm allergic ot the main ingredient of the one the doctors tried injections for. I wanted to try Mounjaro next, but the doctor hasn't gotten around to writting prescriptions.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Have you been checked for sleep apnea?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

guy, I have been tested for every disease and pathogen that ever existed. I know my medical problems.

Type 2 diabetes
Hypertension
stroke/TIAs
High blood iron
High blood calcium
Some kind of mental health problem I admit to which no medication treats correctly, but Abilify seems ot work better than anything else. The psychiatrists keep changing the diagnosis every time I go so I give up anyway.

I am sick of being 40 pounds overweight, but nothing I ever try works the way it supposedly works for everyone else.

I've been tested for Sleep Apnea about 10 years ago and the results were marginal.
