3 months in and I’ve gained weight… losing hope
I honestly just need to vent and see if anyone else has gone through this.
I started on Ozempic for about 3 months and then got switched to Mounjaro. I’m currently on my 3rd week of 5mg and since starting GLP-1 meds back in January… I’ve actually gained 4 pounds.
I’m 5’9 and around 275 lbs right now. My doctor and pharmacist originally told me a realistic goal would be losing around 75 pounds in a year, and instead I feel like I’m moving backwards.
I’ve changed my eating habits, I’m trying hard, and mentally this has honestly been destroying me lately. I know weight loss isn’t instant, but it’s really hard not to lose hope when you’re months in and seeing the scale go up instead of down.
Did anyone else have a slow start or feel like nothing was happening at first? Did Mounjaro eventually “kick in” for you at higher doses?
I just feel stuck right now and honestly don’t know what else to do.
