Losing Wegovy

For those who stopped Wegovy, how'd you keep the weight off? I have Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) and they sent a letter stating starting January 1, 2026, they will no longer cover weightloss meds except for obese children (due to some federal law) or specific cases (my doctor said they're judging it by severity).

I went from 218 to 162 and feel great! I wasn't planning to lose more so I went down to 1mg (1.7mg messed up my stomach so bad) and have been using that as my maintenance dose. I'm scared of gaining the weight back!

I do plan to watch what I eat, of course. Exercise is the hard part as I've had 12 surgeries on both legs and have titanium rods so many workouts are difficult. I can't squat, can't run, can't jump.

Any recommendations, would be greatly appreciated. Even if you know good exercises I might be able to do. Food recommendations would be good too. Just note I don't eat seafood and I cannot eat dairy. I'm severely lactose intolerant.
