[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this advice is great, but I’m telling you talk to your doctor about Wegovy. Life changing. I’m maintaining a 100lb weight loss. I’ve posted about it. [/quote]

But what happens when you stop taking the mediciation?[/quote]

Hunger comes back and you gain the weight back. Some may be able to keep the new habits and maintain despite hunger, but from what we know so far it is a lifelong medication at a maintenance dose not unlike cholesterol or blood pressure meds. However, using semaglutide for weight loss is new enough that we don’t know whether if you are on it and maintain a lower weight for long enough (as in several years) whether the body is willing to adjust to a new lower “set point” and stop fighting to get back to that higher weight even after discontinuing the medicine.

I’m the original poster suggesting Wegovy and I would agree with this. I’m doing okay, but it’s a daily struggle. My brain wants to to go back to my old habits and I mentally have to focus on fighting it. My gym family really helps me and I just don’t want to go back “there”. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m not hungry, it just my body wanting to be 300lbs again.[/quote]
