What is your experience with Liraglutide post RNY

I had a modified proximal RNY 25y ago (2 oz pouch vs 1 oz + 25cm bypasses vs 50cm) and I lost 130lbs in 12 months. Kept the weight off for 21y, never had food noise, never felt hunger (stomach didn’t growl, no pit in the stomach feeling) but perimenopause has ruined me. Gained 69lbs in 2022 from hot flashes/night sweats. I was suddenly starving all the time, even an hour after a meal i was starving for another meal. Lost weight when hot flashes stopped, regained when they restarted. Up and down for fours years, finally got approved for estrogen patches 3 weeks ago and i feel almost back to normal. No more growling, portion sizes back to normal.

Doc approved me today for GLP1 pending my labs bc I need a little extra boost besides estrogen. My insurance only covers Liraglutide and I’m curious what it’s like post RNY. Kinda nervous but excited too. will there be stomach pain/food stuck feeling? is the nausea only when people overeat? what is your experience? Does it turn back on your RNY first year weight loss? or is it slower but steady?
