How long ago was the accident? If it was only a year back and you already know how to get lean, the main thing the med would buy you is less appetite while you heal.
General
17 and want to get on something to lose weight
I was in the same spot after a knee thing sidelined me and i get the urge to just shortcut it. But honestly at 17 your body is still doing a lot of building on its own, and i wouldnt want to hand that job off to a shot before the injury is properly sorted
How long ago was the accident? If it was recent, some of that might just be deconditioning that comes back fast once you can train again
. I can't imagine throwing that at a 17 year old body that's still developing, so I'd probably let the injury heal first.
Been on it about eight months now and honestly the appetite thing faded for me after the first couple weeks, so it's not some year long fog. The part that stuck around was just not thinking about food constantly, which sounds like it could help you while you're stuck off training anyway.
I get why people are wary at your age. But honestly if your appetite comes back fine once the injury heals, you may not need anything at all
honestly how long were you actually out of training though? A year sounds long but if you're cleared now you might be surprised how fast it comes back
Some days I had to remind myself to actually eat. If you already know how to get lean the hard way, I'd let the injury heal first and keep the meds as a backup plan.
What's the accident recovery timeline though, are you cleared to train yet or still waiting on that
How long were you actually out of training after the accident? If it was only a few months, a lot of that lean tissue might come back quicker than you think once you're cleared, and the meds could just be a shortcut you don't strictly need yet.
How long ago was the accident? If it was recent, the injury itself might be why you're holding weight, and that's a different problem than the one semaglutide solves.
