Highlights from this day
- food_noise_off — if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different… 11:53
- gip_glp_gil — how quickly did appetite come back going from 2.5 to 15 food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me 13:42
- cold_chain_cmdr — dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly 13:47
i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose
come down slower than that
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
thats fluctuation
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
no official dose
[edited]genuine question two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
i came off for four months, put 102 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
SURMOUNT-OSA is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
protein up not down
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
how quickly did appetite come back going from 2.5 to 15
food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
mine held
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
