I was on MJ for 5 months and lost 40lbs, relatively easily. I went up to 10mg and felt sick all the time so then dropped down to 7.5 as suggested by pharmacy. Then slowly over the next 2.5 months I gained back 10lbs (around 1lb a week). Pharmacy suggested going up again but this time getting onto 12.5 asap but then the price hike happened and after 2 weeks with no med (pharmacy mess up) I've ended up going on Wegovy (1.0)
After 5 weeks on Wegovy I have just constantly lost and gained the same 2lbs - the food noise is back and the sugar cravings are terrible. I'm finding myself putting food in my mouth without thinking and have on 2 occaisions eaten until I was overfull - on MJ that never happened and I had zero food noise. I was usually in a deficit on MJ and I feel like nothing's happening on Wegovy
I still have another 20lbs to lose and I know its supposed to get harder the closer you get to your goal but I've now essentially stalled for 3 months. The weight I'm at I've managed to get to in the past through intermittant fasting and lower carbs but food (making it/measuring it/calculating it) became my whole life and I hated that and it wasn't sustainable. I have never been able to get below and stay below this number since I've had my dd - am I just going to be stuck here, slightly overweight forever?
Pharmacy has suggested I go up to max dose on Wegovy which I'll try but it worries me that I then have nowhere to go...
Everyone else I know who I was on MJ with at the same time has now moved into maintenance and just kept losing and I feel really stuck and frustrated. Anyone have advice?
