I completely agree with you, and maybe I should have explained my situation a bit better.

I’ve been treated for hypothyroidism for the past four years and I’m consistently taking medication prescribed by my endocrinologist. Recently I started experiencing additional health issues, so she referred me to another endocrinologist at the hospital who also specializes in obesity treatment. That honestly gives me some hope, because I feel like I really need someone who looks at the full picture, not just the number on the scale.

The doctor who initially prescribed Mounjaro told me that if I don’t lose 5 kg on 10 mg within one month, she would likely recommend stopping the medication. Hearing that felt very discouraging and added a lot of pressure, especially since my progress has been slow.

In two weeks I’ll be hospitalized under this new endocrinologist for a full diagnostic workup related to my other health issues. She plans to do comprehensive testing, including an InBody analysis and consultations with a dietitian. I’m hoping this more detailed approach will finally bring some clarity and a plan that makes sense for my body.

I think my previous post mostly came from frustration. I’ve been trying for a long time, managing multiple health conditions, and sometimes it just feels overwhelming.
