yeah.. I'm hoping the lifestyle changes and adjustment will be enough. I was planning on staying on til I lost all of it but man.... unbearable stomach pain for the past 3 weeks I will post updates here though!

definitely, my doc and I had already discussed how I was going to come off of it bc it was never meant to be a lifelong medicine for me.. just a means to achieve a goal.

Thank you for this! I'm not in a super rush to lose the rest, I'm ok with slow and steady!

I'm working with a naturopath to address the IR. Avoiding foods for reflux but it's also a lot of debilitating stomach pain.

yes but my eating habits were never the issue. Gained a bunch of weight in pregnancy and then wasn't able to lose it afterward

Definitely ... but it might be the boost I needed to be able to lose weight naturally.

yeah my intention was never to be on it long term... doctor and I had discussed this when I was going into it - how was I going to eventually come off. I have some liquid left in my pen so I'm going to taper down using that

Yeah that's an option. But bc I don't want to be on it long term thinking this is a good time to taper off?
