Three years and 70 pounds is the kind of result that reflects a sustainable pace rather than a crash - the metabolic changes that come with that timeline tend to hold where fast drops don't.

The travel strategy of keeping food simple and bland until the GI adjustment settles is the right call - most people find their tolerance window narrows significantly on injection days regardless of what they ate before starting.

The ACC first-line recommendation is the shift that changes the conversation with primary care doctors - until now GLP-1s were mostly prescribed after diet/exercise failure, and the threshold was obesity or T2D. First-line means the doctor doesn't need to document years of failed alternatives...

Awesome, good for you! I also stopped last year!

Thanks, True_Bro! That's quite an achievement for you too! It's encouraging to hear from others who get it. I was so scared to start, but I'm so glad I did.

I'm about 2 months in and feeling down because the scale hasn't moved much lately. I've only lost about 10 pounds. Is this normal?

I'm feeling so much better - I've dropped 60 pounds in 9 months, went from 186 to 126! I'm staying at 15mg for now. The scale doesn't tell the whole story. I feel healthier, less inflamed, more energetic, and just... lighter. I do have some loose skin. I was almost 300 pounds before my bypass in...

Give it to me! I'll eat it. But I get what you mean. I haven't been able to drink a cup of coffee in 6 months! I used to love sitting down to relax with my coffee and I miss that time that cleared my mind.

That's amazing progress! I'm so happy for you!

I think you should work it in regularly! A small banana split, so you still get to enjoy it.

Yeah, fried stuff is weird now. It's not that it tastes bad, but it's like...hollow? Doesn't have that satisfying *oomph* it used to. I noticed it with fries and some fried chicken.
