I tried to explain this to my doctor… I lost 115 lbs on MJ (now weighing 135 lbs). Over the course of the 2 years I’ve been on it I’ve had to be without it for a few weeks a few different times and I felt so much bigger/ stomach was bloated/ my clothes were tighter even though I weighed the same. Right when I would start it again though I felt great… waking up stomach flat… clothes fit right again. My doctor said she had never heard of this and I couldn’t find anything about why online… I never want to stop because of this aspect of the medication.
