GLP-1s & my liver's like, YES!

That's wild how similar our experiences are! Ultrasound also cleared my liver, which was a big relief. Would love to stay connected and see how your medical team approaches this. Could swap what we learn along the way?
 
amazing you're losing so steady on 2.5—that's you doing the work with the meds as backup. you've got room to move up. don't stress about worst-case stuff. it happened to me at 15mg—stopped losing and hunger came back. had to start exercising even though it was rough.
 
stopped working doesn't mean plateau and regain though. i don't see evidence of real weight comeback once dose is maintained. it hits a set point and holds there. the set point seems dose-dependent, and low-and-slow doesn't match the trial data on upper limits.
 
Lipase elevation is worth flagging because it can precede pancreatitis even when symptoms are absent. GLP-1s generally improve triglycerides along with other metabolic markers, which is the typical pattern. The lipase piece warrants a direct conversation with your prescriber.
 
Triglycerides from 141 to 74 alongside the glucose drop is the full metabolic picture - the combo getting those numbers in six months is a strong result.
 
Wow, thought my own liver numbers were solid, but that's a massive improvement on your end. Huge percentage drop there.

Great work, and thanks for posting this!
 
Started at 260, first reta shot mid-April, sitting at 198 today. Beyond thrilled honestly, but got labs done recently and my liver numbers came back way elevated, AST and ALT both high. Follow-up appointment today after a course of NAC and TUDCA. Could just be my liver playing catch-up with 60 pounds gone in under three months, hoping it settles soon. Gallstones blocking ducts is also on the table.
