FDA approves diabetes drug to help people keep the pounds off

Prior he replied to her and she gave him shit unfairly. And your reply to him was also out of line, in my opinion. BC is not a poster who has proven to approach people in that manner.

Yea she made that point. I made that point. Others made that point. No one is ‘ignoring’ that point. I brought that up in one of my first posts a few days ago. But she has responded a few times like the drugs also make you eat clean and it’s ridiculous to claim people still eat shit bc they’ll be in so much GI distress so it can’t be possible. That’s true for some but not others. It’s very possible to still maintain poor habits while taking these drugs.

Just eating less is great, kinda, and only part of the equation in the long term. Because some people can still eat shit. And so while I’ve discussed it i still have not heard an answer…what do we do or what is the solution IF/WHEN a person can’t continue with these drugs and the cravings return? The pancreas reverts back to being ineffective…motility increases…nothing changed. What then? I think that is a big caveat. And others disagree.

Well they sure don’t act like it.

I’m glad to hear it is not how you feel.

I think the answer is an inconvenient truth to acknowledge. So the response has been to plan to just stay on it forever.

I believe both Thom and I have said just this. And hopefully orforglipron rolls out in 2026.

Logic has left the building, my friend.

You are arguing

  1. That BC was being snippy because of something Cathy said earlier, except

  2. He was replying to me, and you think I was out of line, except…

  3. he wasn’t being snippy and didn’t warrant my out of line response.

If you’re going to patronize us, at least make sense.

I don’t believe I argued BC was being snippy. I thought he’s been straightforward and respectful.
He admitted he struggled psychologically and asked if others had dealt with that or thought about getting help that way. He got his head bit off.

He made a comment that echoed what a lot of people feel and evidence supports. Pharmaceuticals are generally the most popular first line of defense. Drugs are pushed on us and our spending supports this. Obviously not everyone but it’s not an inaccurate generalization. Your reply was a sarcastic quip about dunce caps and him playing some holier than thou hero role.

I stand by my comments that the responses to him were unnecessary.

And I stand by my comments that I don’t really care what you think about what I said.

And based on what cathy has written, she probably feels the same.

If you wish to talk about proper LR etiquette according to Yeeper, start another thread, and I will gladly ignore it.

Out of the four of us in this tangent only two have used sarcasm, snark, and/or angry dismissals/accusations towards the other two. I don’t think it’s about MY etiquette so much as standard etiquette in general.

But I’m going to stop this back and forth for the sake of the thread and to not get accused of last word seeking even though it’s really just a response with content.

Breaking news, I’ve discontinued taking Zepbound. I’m trying a new short term diet plan that has been extremely effective. I’ve lost 4 pounds on the first day, but I’m not sure it’s maintainable. You may have heard of it, it’s called colonoscopy prep.

Yea no kidding. I guess I’m also in the minority that trying to keep the touchy topics civil and respectful is worthwhile. I’m don’t with that part of this thread, though. After that it’s pointless.

Yes, we know because you said that already.

Now we certain that you’re done with it, because you just said it a second time, this time clarifying that it’s because you’re just above us riff raffs,

Would you like to try for a 3rd?
