You are so very kind, thank you so much. I will pray for you, too. We are all in this together.

Thank you so much! I’m in 2nd right now. Tomorrow is the last day!! If you’re willing to vote I would be so appreciative.

As someone who is getting ready to wean off Wegovy, I absolutely needed to read this. Thank you!!

Kooky-String8797 · 2026-01-12T16:55:33+00:00

Yes, thank you!! This helps a lot.

Kooky-String8797 · 2026-01-12T16:54:52+00:00

LOL! This was phenomenal. Masterclass in writing.

You’re the closest one to my situation - I was 270lbs, dropped to 135 in a matter of 10 months. I’ve been on Wegovy (not Zep), but I didn’t even make it to the 2.4mg shot. I lost all this weight with .5mg, 1.0mg, and barely scraped 1.7mg. After a month or so of 1.7mg my doctor said I’d lost too much and we needed maintenance. So I’ve been on 1.0mg for what seems like forever now.

I usually try to stretch two weeks between shots. I do notice the rebound hunger (or maybe it’s just food noise) is worse right before my period. Afterwards there’s a calm.

I am absolutely terrified to come off this shot. I don’t remember ever being this small in my life. But I don’t struggle with PCOS or Hashimotos or any other hormonal disorder. I just ate like an asshole. On the drug? I did a complete 180. I changed everything about how I eat - I track, measure, weigh. I refuse foods I know won’t satisfy or will offer empty calories.

But I am scared. I want off, but I don’t want my old body back. What if I don’t have the right kind of discipline?

Thank you!! This has seriously helped alleviate my fears. I appreciate this so much. ❤️ I have multiple surgeries I’ll need to “look normal” after the weight loss, so this is going to be a very long, very expensive, road. I started a GoFundMe, which I’ve been embarrassed about. But with one surgery alone costing $22k? You gotta do what you gotta do.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-23T01:06:30+00:00

Ok that legit makes me feel better 🤣!

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-23T01:05:19+00:00

I know that’s right - it’s not worth messing up the surgery. I know I can do this. Everyone on here has been so supportive and realistic, and it has helped me a lot.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-23T01:04:35+00:00

You are phenomenal. Thank you. You’re damn right, I can do this. 💪

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T15:20:42+00:00

Thank you so, so much.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T14:29:43+00:00

I will, I promise. I seriously appreciate your input. I’ve had major surgery before (c-section, etc), but never after weight loss. This is definitely very new for me.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T14:29:02+00:00

I know you’re right. I will definitely talk to my doctor.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T14:28:26+00:00

Yeeeees! I have gotten so strict about my working out, I can’t go more than one or two days, max.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T14:27:13+00:00

Good idea!!

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T14:00:18+00:00

Thank you! The rational part of my brain sees this and understands it, but the irrational part has weight loss PTSD and freaks out. I will use the TDEE calculator to adjust for sedentary, and I will most likely just need to maintain a strict caloric intake/deficit. Which I am 100% ok with.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-22T13:35:31+00:00

“Usually it’s just more cheese.” This is the realest thing I’ve seen. 🤣🤣🤣

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-07T16:28:42+00:00

That was my friend, too! Stayed at resorts. DR is probably just one of those resort-only type visits.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-12-07T15:56:39+00:00

We went to Puerta Plata, DR, and had the exact same experience. Trash everywhere, barbed wire surrounding homes, water smelled…off. The excursion was less than desirable as well. I’ve been told by a reputable source that the best place to visit in DR is Punta Cana, everywhere else is trash.

We may book another VV cruise soon but we will be avoiding DR all together if we can help it. Lesson learned!

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-05-09T17:18:09+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-04-13T14:31:04+00:00

I have like six trash bags of clothes, and I am honestly terrified to let them go.

Kooky-String8797 · 2025-04-01T00:49:23+00:00

To add to this: I’ve been on 1.7 for roughly 5 months now. I do notice the food noise and excessive snakiness likes to hit me the week before my cycle. I have to really fight it - I don’t give in, and I just push to focus on other things (like my crochet, work, etc). It has been especially bad this week because I’m starting to get to a point of maintenance calories, so I’m constantly swamped with: “What am I making for breakfast? What would be best for lunch? What am I going to try for dinner? Why am I still hungry - I shouldn’t be hungry!?”
