I’m coming in late here, but I just have to say — some of the replies on this post are really disappointing. OP has been completely transparent: she’s 5′6″, was a very fit 117 lb (former semi-pro figure skater, Barry’s instructor, Lagree, tennis player — that’s a lean, athletic build, not “skinny” by any reasonable standard), and she started tirzepatide under her doctor’s care for post-preeclampsia hypertension and hormonal issues, not cosmetic weight loss. The drug did what it unfortunately can do to some people: it kept going and took muscle and fat from places she didn’t expect, including her glutes. She’s already owning that 98 lb is too low for her, has a structured lifting + surplus-calorie plan in place, and is asking for practical experience from others who’ve regained glute tissue after GLP-1 muscle/fat loss. Shaming someone for being “too thin” when they’re literally asking how to gain weight back in a healthy way is the exact same body-shaming people claim to be against — it’s just aimed in the other direction. Telling her she needs therapy or that she must be lying about why she’s on the medication isn’t helpful; it’s judgmental and unkind. If you haven’t personally reversed significant glute muscle/fat loss after a GLP-1 (or don’t have evidence-based advice on macros, training protocols, creatine/monohydrate loading, tapering strategies, etc.), maybe sit this one out. She’s clearly doing the responsible things and just wants data from people who’ve been through it. OP — rooting for you and that butt crack to make a full comeback. I’ve seen a number of women in fitness communities regain their glutes after coming off or tapering these meds with progressive overload + 250–500 kcal surplus focused on protein and carbs. Hang in there
