+1. This mirrors my journey exactly. The Can we normalize discussion here is so valuable.

I respect TrialTracker_MD perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Can we normalize being the — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying TrialTracker_MD wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.

Reading this thread on Can we normalize being hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 293 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 68 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Can we normalize — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

LindaRN_retired — that is really helpful context on Can we normalize being. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?
I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
