Liraglutide for Weight Loss: Is It Safe for the General Population?

First, let me introduce my situation. I am 31 years old and have given birth to two children. I have been overweight since childhood, tall and fat, with an average annual growth rate of 10 pounds. Before getting married, I gained 210 pounds, and after 3 months of controlling my diet and exercising, I reduced my weight to over 140 pounds. After getting married, I became pregnant immediately without any hesitation and rebounded. As a result, my body weight returned to 220 pounds. After giving birth to my eldest child for a year and a half, I followed my previous weight loss method and reduced it to over 150 pounds. As a result, I became pregnant with my second child again and controlled my diet, When I was born, it was still 190. The older the child is, the worse the basal metabolism is. Taking care of the child is worrying about not sleeping well, and the body becomes cold and hungry. It's very uncomfortable to eat less, especially when taking care of the child with hungry stomach. When the child is disobedient, he is very irritable and can't help overeating. As a result, my second son is now four years old, and on the contrary, I have gained 210 pounds. I am simply overweight, with normal blood sugar and blood pressure. I have mild fatty liver disease, and the doctor said that it does not hinder my health. I can improve my weight loss and have insulin resistance. Currently, I am taking daggliflozin ➕ Liraglutide injection. From the end of August to now, I have lost 8 kilograms of weight, which is a relatively slow process, but it is not as difficult as relying solely on perseverance to control myself before, because after taking medicine, I really don't want to eat it and feel nauseous when smelling the smell of oil fumes, similar to the reaction of pregnancy. The reason why I took dagelin is that my cousin and daughter-in-law met an endocrinologist in a hospital in the city. The doctor said that their endocrinology department all used this medicine, and some people lost dozens of kilograms. My cousin and daughter-in-law asked the doctor to take a box of what I thought was the magic medicine for weight loss. Later, I found out that it was diabetes medicine. Theoretically speaking, it was feasible to use it to help weight loss. When I asked my sister who studied medicine, she said that there was no problem and she could try it. Later on, I checked this medicine myself and found out that Liraglutide can suppress appetite. I immediately wanted to give it a try. My appetite is really good, and I can't control it well, which is also the root cause of obesity. My medication regimen is to take medication for about 20 days a month, stopping for 10 to 15 days to rest and metabolize the medication, which can reduce tolerance. Before eating the first meal, take one oral tablet of daggliflozin and inject liraglutide. The effect is usually strongest after five hours. Phase 1: On August 19th, I weighed 103.6kg and started taking oral dapagliflexin. By the 26th, I had lost 1.6 kg of weight. On the 26th, take the first dose of Liraglutide and continue to take Daggliflozin orally. By September 9th, a total of 4.6 kilograms of weight was lost, reaching 99 kilograms. Then, after stopping the medication for 25 days, a normal diet was restored, resulting in a weight rebound of about 1 kilogram during this period. Phase 2: Starting from October 2nd, the second dose of liraglutide will be administered ➕ By October 19th, I had lost 4 kilograms to 96 kilograms after taking Daggliflozin orally. Phase 3: Continue medication on November 1st. It will delay the reduction of medication methods in the first two stages. Now let's talk about the medication experience. At the beginning, I only used Daggliflozin, but also deliberately controlled my diet. I ate starch in the morning, had enough food at noon, and basically didn't eat at night. I relied on perseverance to carry it hard. Later, with Lilalupta, I would send the children home to eat in the morning. At about 9:10, I would eat the first meal of the day, steamed stuffed buns, noodles, Fried Rice, and meat. Because this is my main meal in the morning, I would not eat grass, but would control the amount, not eat sea jam. After eating, I would sleep back to sleep until 11:30 to prepare lunch. Then because of the injection, this meal was very full. For a while, I used to eat four Xiaolongbao buns that were smaller than eggs in the morning. It's no exaggeration to say that these four buns can last until eight o'clock in the evening. The whole day's hiccups are full of the onion flavor in the buns. I don't like the onion flavor, so I have no appetite. During this period, I may feel hungry, but I just don't want to eat anything. When cooking, smelling the smell of oil fumes can make me nauseous. I'm afraid I might get hungry and have a stomach disease. I would like to eat some homemade oatmeal substitutes, or eat fried vegetables with less oil, or make a low-fat sandwich. Losing weight requires keeping my mouth and legs open, but personally speaking, taking medication is easier than relying on perseverance, which makes people physically unwilling to eat. For me at present, it is really a great help for weight loss. Let's say I don't have perseverance, I did indeed lose over 60 pounds in one go back then. Say you have perseverance. After giving birth to a child, you start to lose weight, which takes less than half a month. Then let me talk about the side effects of these two drugs, including urinary tract infections caused by daggliflozin. I have been taking the medication for a total of 60 days and have no urinary tract infections. Let's drink about 2L of water every day. I don't have any nausea or vomiting reactions from Liraglutide, only a feeling of fullness and no appetite. However, this feeling of fullness is only effective after about 10 days of starting the medication. Later on, when the body tolerates it, the feeling of fullness will weaken and the desire to eat will become as strong as before. However, the stomach capacity is actually small, and I can't eat much. Additionally, injections are quite expensive, and my wallet does not allow me to overeat the same time, So I will deliberately suppress my appetite. My first injection was 0.6mg, which I didn't feel for 2 days. The injection reached 1.2, which had a slight effect, but it lasted for three days and then disappeared. I added 1.8, which I didn't feel, and 2.4, which made me feel uncomfortable and unbearable. I gave it back to 1.2 until I finished. My gastrointestinal sensation was not strong, but during the injection, my dizziness was extremely severe. In fact, I don't think taking the first one is effective. It's because I lost weight on my own, so I stopped for 25 days and made up my mind to take the second one. Unexpectedly, the second one worked wonders and went straight to 1.2. After 8 days of continuous use, the satiety effect was improved and I didn't feel dizzy. In addition, I had to sleep for more than ten hours a day, and I lost about 3 kilograms in a week. However, it was still the same as before, and when I added it to 1.8, I didn't feel much after two days of use, Later on, I removed the third one and directly applied 2.4 without any effect. I decisively stopped taking the medication and stopped for 11 days to restore a normal diet for people who eat three meals a day (just like for normal skinny people, they all eat some, but don't eat too much), but still have a weight fluctuation of about 1 kilogram. Let me mention the skin issue again. I haven't exercised much during my medication period, and then I found that the skin on my face has become super good recently. I feel very transparent, and I feel that I have turned white. I don't feel as pale as before when I can't move around. I haven't slept as well for more than ten days after stopping medication. I sleep more than 1 o'clock every day, wake up after 6 o'clock, and take a nap in the morning. However, my skin is actually better than before. It's because losing weight has added another benefit, right, I don't know if it's due to eating Daggliflozin for sugar removal. At present, the third stage continues, and it is expected to lose 3-4 kilograms. I hope my experience will be helpful to those who see this answer.
