After losing 30kg on MJ, I’ve gained 7kg in the last two months - and I’m still on MJ! Pls help!
I started off on saxenda a couple of years ago and lost about 10 kg. I then switched over to mounjaro and ended up losing another 20 kg for a total of 30 kg. I still wanted to lose about another 10 KG but stalled for quite some time but I was okay with it because I’d still lost a considerable amount of weight. the end of last year I gained a kilo or two and again I didn’t really worry too much about it.
From December to now I’ve gained 7 kg. Up until recently I was on 12.5 MG it felt like I was on nothing. The side effects were non existent my food noise was back. My hunger was back. I was terrified to go up to 15 because then what happens.
I went down to 5 mg because that’s where I initially lost the weight and felt the best although at that time - after awhile the food noise did come back so I went up. I decided to try the 5 mg again as I read sometimes your body works better at a lower dose. that first dose of 5 kg I took about three weeks ago was amazing. The suppression was back the food noise was gone. I didn’t gain weight that week, I lost 1kg. I thought I’d figured it out. My next shot though, it was back to feeling no suppression and all the food noise came back and I’ve steadily been gaining since then.
I’m absolutely terrified. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I’m not getting any effects from the doses that I’m on. I’m really not sure what to do. I see my doctor in a couple of weeks but I’m wondering if anyone else has been in the same boat and has any idea of what’s going on. I can’t go back to being that person I just can’t. I’m so depressed.
I’m walking 10 K steps minimum a day. I’m drinking lots of water. I’m trying to prioritise protein. I’m trying to do all the things that I would normally do and nothing seems to be making a difference. I’ve also started taking Metformin. That makes me a bit nauseous., But doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference in suppressing my appetite or helping stabilise my weight if you have any advice I’d love to hear it because I’m just I’m trying everything.
Appreciate any advice or insight xx
