My heaviest was 250 for a 5’9” male frame. Lap-band got me down to 165 in 2007. Weight crept back inexorably to 190 and than lap band failed. Stomach stapled after lap-band was pried out of my body in 2018. Back down to 165 which I really thought was my natural go-to body weight. Weight crept back up to 195 until 13 months ago when I started Mounjaro. My life has been transformed. All health metrics are healthy…problems like BP, A1c, lipids and cholesterols, all back down to normal and I am now easily maintaining my new weight on 5mg Tirz at 145 lbs. I workout with weights to maintain muscle mass and I hike 5 miles per session 4 times per week. Brain fog/cognition significantly improved. I’m 65 years old and have the cardio health of someone closer to 40 or better. I have defined musculature and vascularity and a body fat percentage of 10.3%. I switched to compounded and then grey within only a few months of paying insane prices for Lilly. I’m grateful for their work and resentful of their predatory behavior. So…my response to your comment was really about “tipping into anorexia”. No…I don’t allow it…but I can see how it can happen or at least something like it in the sense of just not getting sufficient calories/nutrition and protein on a daily basis when the desire to eat is just sometimes non-existent. People absolutely must guard against the ability to lose too much weight at a certain point in this journey.
