Frustrated with Weight gain

I lost 30 lbs on tirzepatide injections from October to April. My insurance doesn’t cover it, so I slowly tapered off.

Soon after, I got a DEXA scan and realized I had lost a lot of muscle mass, but my body fat was still high, over 44%. That made me feel like I was basically starting from scratch and needed to be more intentional about protein intake, so I decided to start Wegovy pills. I’ve been on the 1.5 dose for one week, and somehow I’m already up 5 lbs. and up 7 lbs since I stopped injections a month ago.

I know logically that it’s not 5 lbs of fat and is probably mostly water weight, but it still feels incredibly defeating to see the scale moving in the opposite direction.

Has anyone else experienced this when switching medications or restarting? Any advice, perspective, or similar stories would be really appreciated.
