At a crossroads
Stats: SW 167 CW 142 F 5’5 started in Feb.
So I’m at a crossroads. A bit about my journey. I felt like I’ve responded pretty well and had zero symptoms on 1.5 and 4 other than significantly reducing my appetite.
I have struggled with sever gerd for the last 8 years but have been on omeprazole which has basically made it so I have no symptoms.
Then I started 9. My heartburn was so severe i felt like I needed to go to the hospital. I was getting sick from taking too many tums and baking soda it was terrible. So when I finished the bottle I didn’t know what to do. I was scared to go to the 25 but didn’t want to go back down to the 4 so I just stayed on the 9 and hoped my body would get used to it.
It did get a little better but my weight loss has definitely stalled. I’m now 7lbs from my goal weight and now I don’t know if I should risk going up to the 25 and not being able to take it and wasting $300 or go back down to the 4 which I will stay on indefinitely for maintenance and try to loose the last 7lbs with more exercise and calorie counting.
My gastro just doubled my omeprazole script so I really hope that will calm things down if I do move up to the 25. I’m leaning towards going up so I can just get it over with but I’d love to hear thoughts from others who have had similar symptoms and chose to either move up or not to.
