Amy Schumer's Motivation Behind Weight Loss


The biggest motivation behind Amy's weight loss decision was her son Gene. She wanted to be fit for her son. 

After giving birth, Amy had a hard time during her pregnancy because she was very sick and had gained weight. During her delivery, she had an emergency C-section that was full of problems because she had endometriosis. Therefore, in 2021, she had both her uterus and appendix taken out.

In this process, she also decided to lose some weight and get fit for her son.

 

She shared on Andy's show, "I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn't play with my son," Amy clarified, referring to her son Gene. "I was so skinny, and he's throwing a ball at me, and [I couldn't]", she explained.

How Did Amy Schumer Lose Weight?

 

Amy's weight loss has been due to liposuction weight loss surgery which she had undergone in 2022. Post surgery, her weight has decreased to 170 lbs. She has also undergone another surgical procedure to treat endometriosis and got her uterus and appendix removed.

 

Amy Schumer had captioned in her instagram post after her surgeries, 

 

I healed well, and I was like, ‘Can I get lipo?’ And I got lipo, and I’m feeling really good,” 

 

Amy Schumer didn't disguise the fact that she had liposuction to improve her physical look. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical technique that removes excess fat from certain areas of the body. The idea is to reshape and contour certain areas, to improve the appearance of the body.

Unlike many celebrities, there was no specific diet and workout regime she followed which led to her weight loss. The weight loss surgery has been the key reason behind her weight loss.

Role of Ozempic In Amy Schumer's Weight Loss Journey

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday (June 8), the 42-year-old actor and comedian admitted she had tried the type 2 diabetes medicine Ozempic for losing more weight in the year 2021. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a type of drug that works by imitating a hormone that the body produces when a person eats, making them feel full and less hungry.

After taking the drug for a few months, she said that she quit taking Ozempic as she had side effects and it didn't suit her.

  

In her words, "Like a year ago, I tried it," she told Cohen, just before she came clean about how the drug's adverse effects forced her to quit taking it. Because of the Ozempic's side effects, Schumer realised the medication wasn't for her. "And you're like, 'OK, this isn't livable for me.' But I immediately invested [in it] because I knew everyone was going to try it," she added.
