Question for those who are now succesfully off glp 1
Ok so as a table setter. I am currently into my second month, first dosage increase (going in for check up in 3 months for another possible dosage increase). So far everything seems to be working as explained with minimal (something none at all) side effects other than the intended ones regarding appetite/hunger.
My question is once you reach the point where you are at a healthy weight and consult with a physician to be taken off the medicine, my understanding is that a "normal appetite" returns once the meds slowly make their way out of your system however what I am not clear about is whether your appetite returns at a normal rate for a person now weighing signicantly less or does it return at the intensity it was before ever starting the medication to begin with.
I know these meds are only one part of the solution to maintaining a more healthy lifestyle but I can't imagine that without these meds I would feel full with the amount I now eat before my body screams no more at me, but I also understand I am so early in the process that by the time I lose a lot more, my body might tell me I am full without the meds assisting.
So maybe if there are folks in here who were on the meds for awhile, they were successful, then stopped taking them, what were the challenges or strategy post-GLP 1? Was it simply being more aware and attentive to your intake on a daily basis mixed with more physical activity?
