She doesn't even look that big. A little plump is ok, but those are the folks that want perfection the most. A good diet and exercise do the trick the majority of the time, but too many want instant gratification
My mother was diagnosed with type 2 about 6 years ago. Was never fat. She doesn't eat any carbs and now doesn't need meds or insulin and is still slim. People don't want to take the correct path to fixing themselves.
She wasn't losing insane amount of weight. She was losing exactly what you'd expect form someone running at both ends weight.
56? What did she expect to weigh? It's sad to see such loss
Her weight loss wasn't even spectacular.
The other issue could be maximum dosage of both drugs + vaccine side effects.
And if she was this size, taking TWO weightloss drugs that basically slow down your digestive track, she might have been taking other drugs off label.
The digestive track does use a lot of blood iirc, so if she were getting blood clotting from the vaccine that could be an issue.
Anyway, don't be scared away from these new drugs yet.
The weight lifting community that does their own testosterone injections, most of them safely, was also anti-vaxx, pro body freedom, and are taking these (sometimes reconstitution the powder with bacterial static water, again to avoid the name brand cost - I think it is about $1000-3000/month name brand, depending on locations and dosage. With generic off label you can pay about $500 for a 3 month supply.
I do think this is a propaganda attack by insurance companies and big govt though. It will be interesting seeing them fight big pharma and the propaganda wars.
In all the self reports I've seen, no one was using both saxenda and ozempic together.
I only saw about one person say they were taking both ozempic and tirz/mountjaro... once their system was used to the Mountjaro, they had gradually started taking small amounts of ozempic, never more than the lowest dose prescribed for ozempic alone. They were doing that to stretch the Mountjaro effects since its so expensive. So I think, maybe they could have gone 10 days instead of 7. Or else it prevented them from having to increase their mountjaro dosage, which again is really expensive.
That was like 1 person. So maybe others do it but probably not that many and they are careful, not doing a radical crash diet. They know how to manage the nutrition and hydration.
I wouldn't be surprised if the woman in the arricle had just gone anorexic, stopped eating and caused an intestinal blockage... blocking the blood flow, too, didn't seek medical attention, and having received the vaccine was prone to blood clots.
The hospital could have even just down a flush of her bowels to get things clear. And she could have done it at home like post-pregannacy women.
She wasn't taking them at the same time. The article says she switched bands.

You're generally not supposed to mix new medications.
People are on one or the other.
And maybe she wasn't the target group... it's meant for higher levels of obesity and diabetes
These drugs have actually done a lot of good. I expect there will be attempts to villains them by insurance companies that don't want to pay out and govts that want the citizens sick and dying.
I've been following the research and thousands of individual results on reddit and various socials. There generally are great results.
But! People need to know how to take it. Like, I think you are supposed to take a bunch of water or something.
And sometimes take breaks.
Maybe she didn't start at a low level and work her way up so her system could get used to it. Maybe she just used maximum dosages of both new drugs.
I can see more issues coming from Ozempic but Saxenda is pretty popular in Asia. It has less results but less side effects.
The best secret one is Mountjaro/tirz. No side effects and best results. It could transform the western world. Make the majority of people 15-30% healthier. Significantly reduce diabetes and associated horrors.
So yeah, there will be user error and people who have issues with these new drugs.
Maybe there are some people with different genes that should take them.
But overall, I am seeing good results from people at all levels. Especially tirz. People are getting compounds made in the US, so they can get cheaper generics than the name brand mountain that is for the rich.
And yeah, maybe people will get more bowel cancer but most will be getting turbo cancer anyway from the vaccines.
Plus, cancer is treatable.
She wasn't taking them at the same time. The article says she switched brands.
You're literally saying even with the "best" one people might get a horrific form of cancer but it's worth it for a drug that at best accomplishes what they could accomplish with a bit of self control.
I don't even know what to make of this
