Sheesh. I was at my cardiologist today, routine follow up. Everything is normal, actually best its been in years.

Cardiologist suggested I take Wygovi because it will help heart function and maybe he can take me off the meds I am on now that are working great. I was confounded. He went on to say it also help reduce cravings, though I am not sure what I crave that I would reduced :-) I said the meds I am on seem to be working great why would you want to switch me to a diabetes med? He said it is shown to improve heart function; to which I replied “makes sense. Obese people’s hearts have to work harder. If they lose weight their hearts will work better. It’s probably not the drug that’s helping but the result of the weight loss”.

Maybe he was being polite in suggesting I drop a few pounds. I am not obese, not even fat really but sure I’d like to get back to my college weight. And maybe if I did drop a few pounds I could take less or lower doses of meds. But I guess all the “don’t fat-shame people” stuff is history. Now it’s shame them into taking prescriptions.

I guess it’s better to shrink my stomach now, before the mandatory bug eating laws come into effect.
