Zero appetite from day one with protein drinks covering it is the cleanest version of this experience - liquid protein at split intervals is the practical fix when solids don't appeal.

Tesa, 5-Amino-1MQ, and MOTS-C together covers the combination that makes practical sense - each has a defined mechanism and they don't compete.

The ADHD/GLP-1 intersection has early data - the dopaminergic pathway effects that GLP-1s produce overlap with attention regulation circuits. Not a core finding yet but the reward circuit connection makes it plausible.

Try going way back to basics. Like the seated machines old ppl use at the gym... I know it sucks, but it'll help keep some muscle! Start light and go up as you can.

I didn't have any energy until I was on the highest dose. Once the side effects calmed down, I was actually able to go to the gym and do cardio. It seemed impossible before. BTW, I've lost around 90 lbs in a year on Wegovy.

I just took my first 5 mg injection on Tuesday after four weeks on 2.5 mg. I really haven't had much of an appetite. I figure I'll probably start getting hungrier toward the end of the week before it's time for my next dose.

Aside from the meds mentioned, drinking about 2-3 liters of water a day and also taking probiotics for your gut should assist in keeping things flowing. Good luck!

I think losing the weight gradually makes it more likely you'll keep it off long-term.

Congrats!

That's seriously impressive! I'm curious to hear more about the process. What were some of the biggest challenges, and did the medication consistently work for you?

Or grow a magnificent beard? Congratulations, and much love to you on your journey.

What are the exact issues she wants help with? (Aside from her thyroid)

I'm really sorry that instead of saying congrats on your awesome loss, people feel the need to comment on your health and looks. What you've achieved is amazing and despite outward APPEARANCES, I bet you're much healthier now!!! You've done amazingly, don't be disheartened by those comments. 👏🏻

You've got that Chris Pratt vibe going on now! Looking fantastic!

Newbie here and this helped a lot. I am only on 2.5 and people keep telling me I "have" to go up. But I am still losing about a pound a week and food noise is low. So it is okay to just stay here until it stops working?
