I hear it everywhere its driving me nuts. I have no choice but to accept my weight or starve myself which im not going to do. People really need to be mindful of people who cant lose weight for medical reasons.

Why you care about what other ppl say? You just need to do it for yourself. To look and feel good.
You should “starve” yourself a little bit. Know your maintenance a lower 500 cal from there.
But I agree, on olanzapine it’s like really really difficult.

Because its making me feel bad about myself when all i hear is weight loss storys and how easy it was for them. Im just tired of everyone saying its easy when it isnt. I get it its unhealthy being fat but my mind is unhealthy and if i dont take these meds ill be even worse

I lost weight by going off meds. I’m gaining weight again on the meds I’m on.

It’s not easy. It never was. Ask someone who lost 40 pounds or more. It’s possible.
But I won’t tell you sugar coated ■■■■. You’re not fine beeing obese/overweight.
Same here i gained weight when i was on aripriprazole. Then lost it when i came off, gained all of it back plus more on a lower dose of olanzapine. Olanzapine is one hell of a strong drug.

Ask your doctor about Saxenda if you qualify for it under your benefits. It works very well.
its possible but not easy, i find i have less appetite after reducing my meds, maybe switch to another medication with less weight gain like Abilify or Geodon or Latuda. Olanzapine has most weight gain. there are also weight loss meds your dr can prescribe
That might be an idea. Its not like ozempic is it. I heard that one is really bad
It’s weaker than Ozempic. Ozempic is also only for diabetics and shouldn’t be used off-label for weight loss.

Oh okay i didnt know that
I get full quickly and easily now and I can control my snacking urges. All I have to do is drink a glass of water and I have no hunger pangs for a couple hours.
