Nobody deserves to be fat-shamed but then again, nobody needs celebrities touting drugs like Ozempic that can have possibly dangerous side-effects either.
This is not the first time a weight loss wonder drug has been introduced. My mother died from the FDA approved, doctor prescribed Phen-Fen. A miracle drug that ended in the deaths of so many people because of side effects, in my mother's case it damaged her heart and we actually joined and won a class action lawsuit related to the tragedy.
You would think that Medicare would be in favor of preventative care instead of damage control since sick people cost way more than healthy people? We know that good dental hygiene can help prevent heart trouble and other medical issues and being a healthy weight can prevent a myriad of diseases and sickness so you would think these drugs would be covered?
M sicka hear about Oprah’s weight loss plans. We heard it for over twenty five years. Enough already.
Thank you 🙏 cause you’re right
I’m an Oprah fan and agree!
much much longer actually😂
So it‘s ok to shame her no matter if she‘s sucessfull or Not? 😂
@@kochfeemiri663 Who has shamed Oprah in recent years about her weight?
Oprah has an issue within. SHE is hyper focused on her weight, not everyone else. She actually looked fine before this round of weight loss. I love Oprah AND agree with the commenter.
I really didn’t learn to much from this special. I really would have liked talking about the side effects of these medications. Especially when you have to be on it for the rest of your life.
I do not think the long term effects are available yet. Side effects you can find online under the medication.Its less than most medications that I am currently taking
@5:17 of the video, they said *Side Effects were Discussed by the Expert on the Special.* Before you are Prescribed the Medication, the Side Effects are Discussed in Detail with the Patient. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASKING YOUR DOCTOR THOSE QUESTIONS Or looking it up Online. *The Side Effects information is all over the Internet.* There's No Excuse today for not knowing.
Always do research on the medication before you use the prescription. Discuss the medication with your Doctor and then tell the Doctor you would like to go do more research about the Medication, and let your Doctor know that you will call or text them with your decision. It's your job to make your own decisions, not your Doctor's, they can guide us with their knowledge and advice. Then doing our research and making our own decision is on us
@@1jackvalley580 Great advice.
I watched and I learned nothing new from her TV special. Off topic: We must reduce our daily salt and/or sugar intake. That's a simple step towards weight loss.
She did it for the money
@ @@davidbrigham8319 : I concur.
false: you have to decrease sugar and uptake your salt
My insurance deductible is $5000 . I met it last year and still has to pay $200 a month. Iys a good drug if you can afford it. I can't. I gained all my waiting back and my self esteem is at the lowest point in my 55 years.
Don't give up. There are multiple options for weight loss medications, not just the GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor about Naltrexone, Phentermine, Topiramate just to name a few. There are many options that doctors won't mention because they believe weight loss is all about will power. They're killing us with their attitude.
I recceomend hitting the gym so u wouldn't need a pill. Save u money and u will feel better
I was on ozempic I couldn't get
my supply because of the shortage at my pharmacy. Because so many people are on it for weight loss. So my doctor put me on another medication. I'm on it for type 2 diabetes. My insurance coverEd it I paid $20 a month. One pen lasted a month 1 shot a week. Now I'm on a pill form of semaglutide and I paid $40 for a 90 day supply. If you are diabetic, you're insurance will cover it, but they won't cover it for weight loss. Wayloss is basically just a side effect of the medication. The medication was not designed for weight loss. It was designed for type 2 diabetes. Diabetics who are taking it. Don't take that mega dose that they give others for weight loss. Our doses is much lower.
I started intermittent fasting last May, and it is a life changer for me. I took weight off sensibly and easily and it cost me nothing. I liked the fasting because anyone can do it. It’s not only for the rich, it’s not elitist, it’s for everyone. It’s now part of my life for ever. I have shared it with family and friends, and it’s working for them as well. I’m 68 and feel the best I have in decades. I urge you to look into videos pertaining to it, especially Stan Ekberg. Good luck my dear!
You can get the medication from a compound pharmacy runs about 125$ a month
Thank you and Bless you!!!❤
I do have sympathy for Oprah it's an addiction just like any other addiction but she needs to be very careful about taking drugs to overcome the addiction
You clearly learned nothing. Obesity is a METABOLIC DISEASE. Which requires medication and is why dieting and exercise alone doesn’t work.
It doesn’t even sound like her wake up
When are we going to SPOP believing the lies of these narcissist? When? We are the fools when we still following this fake god, and stop being mesmerized by the lies packaged in pretty words.
But she still a Billionaire getting richer and healthier than she’s ever been in her entire life ..way to GO OPRAH looking like you’re 40years young woohoo 🙌🏾 👍🏾❤
Shame on her, she has the resources to help her lose weight, personal chef, personal trainer etc. I can’t stand her. 🤮🤮🤮
The mom said that when her daughter was a toddler, she ate the whole steak. 🤷♀️
Lol 😆
I know first hand how it is being overweight my self in a. Bad marriage using food. For comfort my top weight was 300lbs I had to change what and how i ate a log with exercise family support it's hard for me to see a big person and not cry because I have been in there. Shoes
She made tons of money years ago when she claimed to have "made the connection" by promoting Bob Green's book and weight loss solution. If she made the connection then why is she still trying to lose weight. It's all BS she will stop this too after she makes more money! Lies lies lies I don't believe anything she says!
Tasty foods come with a big price. Humans love variety, and that did not give her a large variety. It’s rather ridiculous that she cannot get her act together.
people will ignore this comment but you're 100% correct. this is all for her and the people she's promoting/working for to make more money.
The topic was clearly visible that it was about her yet you clicked anyway. Your obsession and jealousy knows no bounds. Heal sister.
I wonder if you’re even listening. Oprah has a calling…it’s never been about the money. Her generosity is legendary. Try being more kind as a human. More loving acceptance, less judgment. It works wonders for life.
@@melstyle7619Hi. Maybe trying being a little kinder and less judgmental? Good for the soul.
Who cares. Enjoy your money.
So the weightwatchers didnt work.
Weight Watchers works it has to be done consistently. People keep dropping in and out of WW and then say it doesn't work.
then why 75 years ago was nobody obese? people eat the wrong food as well...carbohydrate make you hungry because it turns to sugar
There were obesed ppl 75 years ago.
Not like today!
@@gin1740
How do. Could you be more specific.
R
S
sugar is in everything that we buy, especially prepared food. Even skimmed milk has sugar instead of the natural fat in milk! Our brains are made of fat and need it to work. Carbohydrates (anything made of flour) turn to sugar. Read the ingredients for anything you buy. Try intermediate fasting, too. People eat all day/night and never get their bodies a rest. Stop eating at 7:00 PM and do not eat until 11:00 the nest morning.
If she was hiking 3-5x a day she wouldn't need a weight loss drug. Even if she still ate the same way while hiking she would lose a lot of lbs.. the lies she tells is insane. I hope people who use common sense see shes scamming yet again.
You can hate my guts for saying this but Oprah is not a person that lies. Not everything is nefarious
@@user-du4ku9vo1g Why would I hate you and I don't even know you? But sadly its obvious you aren't using your common sense.
@@user-du4ku9vo1gyour talking bullshit just blind 😮
@@scarletkitten I don't like your common sense either
@@xavierdh2000 you're talking bulshit as well
If diets and exercise worked, if lifestyle changes worked, then why did every contestant on every weight loss show always gain the weight back? If it's as simple as calories in calories out, why does bariatric surgery always fail in the ongoing run?
because they get lazy and go back to old habits. its not a quick fix. diet and exercise to maintain weight loss is a lifestyle change.
@@scarletkittenfalse. They did studies on these people. Obese people have permanent metabolic and hormonal changes in their bodies that affect how they can maintain weight loss. For example, a person who was once obese and listed weight to get to your weight will have to restrict calories to 20-30% less than you can consume to maintain the same weight you do or they will regain the weight rapidly. In most cases that is simply not possible or healthy for the long term.
Stop being so judgmental
Let me share my story. I am 81 years old. At the age of 77 my brother-in-law told me about intermittent fasting. I tried it and it worked for me. My highest weight was 275 lbs, I’m 5’2”. It took about 3 years but now I am 120-125. I’ve maintained it, and I’ve adapted my daily routine to allow me to fast for 16-18 hrs a day. Sometimes I go longer, other days I don’t quite make it. But I have to say that, after 50-60 years of obesity, trying, trying to lose weight, this has been the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do to lose weight. It was easy precisely because of the very thing Oprah and the others are talking about. I did not feel hungry. Today is one of those days that, because I had a very satisfying lunch, I didn’t have dinner. I do log my food every day because I’ve done it for so many years of my life dieting, and I try to limit calories. But I do not feel deprived. I’m writing this to say to you…you’re right. It’s not just calories in, calories out. Cutting calories and exercising more, does NOT necessarily work. I’m not trying to promote intermittent fasting. I’m trying to say that what we’ve been told for decades, is not the way our bodies work. I have type 2 diabetes, but after losing weight my doctor took me off the medication. All my numbers improved. , obesity is a serious problem, but there is a point where obesity started to and developed into the epidemic we have today. But there are people now who are saying, “when did this all start? What did we think then? Did we miss something?” I’m glad Oprah is talking about this, it’s very important. I like to say that at my age, all the things I used to worry about don’t bother me anymore. I have much less stress in my life. I think that attitude helped me through the 3 years. All this fat shaming and self criticism puts enormous stress primarily on women. When people tell me how proud they are of me, how much will power I had, it must have really been tough. I say, I am no hero, this was easy. And you shouldn’t have to be a hero either. Sorry for going on and on. I have a lot of empathy for any woman who has tried to lose weight. It shouldn’t have to be that way.
I remember my fat friend freaked out and got sick cause we didn’t get our food within 20min. That’s when I knew their brains are just different
How many diabetics will die because their medication isn't available because it's being used for weight loss?
The problem is that Oprah wanted to slim down on her body shape and the frame structure of her body.
And there lies the problem, a person cannot physically change their body frame structure, because it is based on our bones, which shape our body frame structure.
I think she was losing weight and slimming down, but realised that her body frame did not change or slim down contrastingly with her body fat and weight.
That's why if a short stocky guy may be not be that overweight or obese in body fat, but due to their bone structure, it makes them look stockey.
Alot of short stocky guys actually have flat stomachs. And have skinny legs.
We should always check out the side affects of a prescription that the Doctor gives to us. Using a prescription is ALWAYS UP TO THE PATIENT, it's your decision. I just told my Dr that I wanted to do research on the prescription which was a "Subcutaneous Pen Injector" for Diabetes before I make a decision. She thought it was a great idea. I decided against using it because it can worsen another medical condition that I have.
Some people think they have a right to body shame obese people. Like we are fair game, or public sport. They could care less how we feel. I’ve battled obesity for years. I don’t give a damn who takes weight loss drugs or gets bariatric surgery. Do what you need to, for you, not them.
So happy you said that.
Why don’t you get on a platform where people who cannot afford to drug who are obese can get the drug instead of trying to explain your big lie
❤😢
I still can’t believe her age! She looks wonderful! It’s good to see her happy!
its amazing what constant upkeep in thousands of dollars can do for one's appearance and not even going into subtle minor surgeries or shots😂
@@svietka202 hey, I would do it too!🤣
@@Jessica_PMHNP gf... so would I 😂😂😂
Why werent you honest about using this drug initially. Now you're coming out as a victim ? Really ? 🙄
It's about the shame around it!!! That's the point 🙄🙄🙄
Thin ppl too
Adverse effects of Ozempic: nausea, thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, changes in vision, hypoglycemia, gallbladder issues, kidney failure and several cancers. Why is she promoting this for weight loss? Follow the money. There are healthier approaches.
Not the point!!!
I won't those gummies
You made that up. Miss Oprah said that it may be perceived by some as being a conflict of interest, not that it in-fact is.
Of course it IS a conflict of interest..Good god you people are stupid
Stop shaming & blaming!!!
She has all the money in the world but one area of her life she can't boast about is her weight but this is God's doing. God never gives someone a perfect life
She has deep rooted issues
Now that she is skinny she wants to talk about weight
Exactly
Oprah Winfrey is an older woman who actually has worked hard during her life and stepped over everyone to get to where she is today. She has become a preachy whiny 70 year old woman who is WAY PAST HER DATE OF RELEVANCE. NO ONE cares any longer what books she reads or how she decorates her houses....... The majority of people just wish she would GO AWAY leave us all alone. She does not tell the truth quite often and MOST of us stopped listening to her in the early 1990's......... It's now 2024 and WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON.
The majority of ppl are uneducated on this subject.
Ingronce runs rampant for too kong.
My beloved lated uncle was ' chubby '. ❤

Her problem is that she is obsessed over food thinking about it 9 to 5 she needs to find something else to obsess over
Most obese people have excessive food noise. You can’t just turn it off. If it were that easy no one would be overweight. When your hunger and satiety hormones aren’t functioning properly your body thinks you’re hungry all the time and you can’t stop thinking about eating.
It’s easy for people who have normal functioning bodies to pretend like you are paragons of self discipline when you aren’t even on the same playing field as the rest of us. You aren’t superior and you have arguably less discipline and willpower than any obese person who has ever lost weight. You can’t even begin to understand.
So maybe stop with the judgement and just consider yourself lucky.
Oprah looks stunning, I can't take my eyes off of her.Im greatly inspired. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us. I'm also interested in this program. I need to lose weight
Booooooooooooooo 😂😂
You are a QUEEN Oprah. Thank you, thank you. Great conversation.
Nobody is perfect, but if I was god, I wish I could give Oprah a Royal crown for how much she help the world. Bless you.
🙄
She never admitted she taking weight loss drugs
She does not on this show, but there's an article where admits to taking Medication to lose weight.
Fake tears. She is now promoting a drug for weight lose. This woman will do anything for fame and money.
💯
If all they can talk bout is shame...best believe they are pushing drug scam for profit.
Remember when cigarette companies pushed shame to get folks to smoke?
Doesn't every drug commercial push this message of 'shame pron' with unknown symptoms?
I saw a picture of Oprahs newest weight loss , and ahe looks much smaller but her body looks flabby because shes doing a chemical diet instead of living a healthy active lifestyle, het upper arms looked like they wete going to burst the sesms of het purple dress.i feel sorry for het that she has givrn up o.getting her foid addiction under contfol and is now using prescription drugs to do it.
Way to continue to stigmatize, shame and judge! Who CARES what size her arms are in her dress.
Obesity isn’t a disease. It’s an addiction to food that creates diseases. I’ve been obese most of my life. I did lose 130 pounds by cutting out certain foods and walking more. I still struggle though not to overeat.
You're absolutely right. I think they're saying that so people can get on this medication to lose weight. I didn't watch The Show. I wonder if they addressed the fact that there is a shortage for diabetics who actually needed for life-saving measures. Did they also mention that people who take it for weight loss will have to take it for the rest of their lives
Thank you for this, as you are 💯 right.
Good on you and congratulations!
I disagree! I have suffered and shamed since I was a toddler! And it is not fair! I am a medical provider, and obesity is a complex disease and I am grateful for medications to help us lose and maintain our weight!
No it isn’t fair to be judged because of our weight however it’s still not a disease. It’s an addiction that we created as a coping mechanism. I didn’t say anything about using medication for weight loss. Each to their own.
This woman needs to retire. Seriously.
SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Fake!
Life after death? God loves the world, He gave His Son Jesus whoever believes will not die but have everlasting life. John3:16 Are you afraid of dying? One out of every one dies. Dont be afraid. Jesus died for you believe & repent.
Okay, the documentary is seemingly nothing I thought it was.
I hope fatphobia was also specifically highlighted.
I was slim until I started ordering pizza, eating velveta macaroni and cheese and eating bags of peanut m&ms, this is stupid. So is she still shoveling food into her mouth? I'm not and I don't need drugs.
Congratulations to Oprah. Thats a VERY long struggle that noone should have to go through for basic human contentment. I don't see what peoples problem is ( she's been criticised). I could add that in a survey of childhood abuse victims, in some cases weight problems occurred. (I caught pic of Virginia Giuffre ( Epstein's victim) too..
I am a small in clothes. It’s only because I don’t want to be near a medium size. I know that doesn’t look good, it’s not healthy and I refuse to own larger size clothes. It is discipline. I don’t focus on my feelings to let myself eat anything but I rather focus on healthy foods. that keep me full. I eat 6 times a day in half portions.
People that are overweight, give up on what is healthy and just eat anything. You can’t have an appealing body and appealing diet at the same time ever.
No one cares. This conversation isn’t about you. You don’t have a weight problem or have any kind of metabolic disease causing you to struggle with your weight.
Here’s your gold star you’re so desperately seeking ⭐️ now you can shut up.
This deserves a spot in the CZcams hall of fame.
Hall of shame
more like..Hall of Shame. She is on a path that is destructive to the long term betterment of the human body.
@@anandafierro8001Exactly!!
People are down on her now because of the Weight Watchers thing and she's just trying to win back sympathy points
Yeah, all those people followed her over to Weight Watchers signed up for all those memberships. And now she abandoned weight watchers. Gave away all her shares and resigned from the board. Now she's taking medication to help her lose weight. When she was the main one, shaming everyone for doing so. Now, this new agenda of weight loss medication she's on, May put a lot of diabetics who are already in jeopardy of a shortage in further jeopardy.
