SW: 209 lb - CW: 191 About five months ago my doctor put me on semgultide because I’ve spent years at pre-diabetes and was struggling to lose weight even with regular exercise. I have not found this drug to be a magic pill - I still need to track my CICO daily and exercise.

I pushed to stay on the lowest dose till I hit a two month plateau because I am leery of relying on just the medication to manage my diet. I am well aware of most people’s experiences with getting off the drug and gaining weight again, so I am trying to treat this like a push in the right direction but not a long term solution.

Anyhow I’m also just posting cause I forgot I subscribed to this group and I also want to see it active. If you’re in the US - happy Labor Day! I hope you’re off work today.

(I’ve had gastric bypass - 2001- and then a revision - 2021. Surgery never worked for me.)

I went from semaglutide to tirzepatide and now retatrutide.

I took retatrutide since last year. I’m currently on a maintenance dose to prevent regaining what I’ve lost since I’ve hit my goal.

I thank the gods every day that I found these things and have access to them.
