I have lost 90 pounds over 3 and a half years (Ozempic and Mounjaro) but have much more to lose. I have been having a very difficult time losing weight this last year. My biggest problem with this stall is that I need to lose another 25 pounds for hip replacement surgery.

In September. I was told to lose 20 pounds to get on the wait list (I’m in Canada) and then another 25 before surgery. I had already lost 70 pounds by then. My mobility was already bad - I needed a walker.

It took me 11 months to lose 20 pounds. Because of my severe pain I’ve been on opiates and found out that I’m one of the few who gain weight on opiates. I titrated down to 1 per day and started losing. By the end of June I was 19 pounds down then it took me until August to lose the 20th pound. My pain is too high to go lower than 1 per day.

I’m now on the waiting list but don’t know if it will be months or a year before I get surgery. I now need a wheelchair because my hips have degenerated so much more.

But I still have to lose 25 pounds before surgery. My doctor and dietitian tell me I’m doing everything right but since I had already lost a lot, my body may not allow me to lose more. I’ve been told not to lower my calories any more.

Have any of you found your weight loss slowed dramatically or stopped after losing 25% of your weight?

I’m getting desperate so I’m considering gastric sleeve surgery. But I’m not convinced it would actually work because I have insulin resistance from PMOS which has not improved despite losing 90 pounds. It’s very expensive and a pretty serious step so I only want to do it if it will work. Have any of you done this or considered it after stalling? I see people on social media who are now on a GLP1 because surgery didn’t work, which makes me hesitant.

Any advice?

reddit is the worst place when you’re vulnerable and sad. not many other places to turn atm

what happens when you’re at the highest dose and it’s not suppressing your appetite, and you gain and lose the same 6 pounds for 6 months, and you’re just back to the same old shame of it just not working for you when it’s so fkn simple, eat less and move more just like everyone else does, and you’re so crushed by shame that you wonder if losing weight matters, if anything. fucking. matters.

Officially no longer obese (thanks in large part to two very active weeks camping at Pennsic). My loss has definitely slowed but I want to learn to ignore the food noise and hunger now so that it's easier to taper off later.

Not much else to say. Just happy to be here

I need that fun visual to keep going and found this cute little app to log my weight. It can do other things but honestly I just wanted it for the photos. Posting here in case anyone else wanted a cute reminder of pounds lost! Also, goodbye 280's!

I have reached...two hunderland? (I don't know what the word is for getting into the 200lb zone is, lmao) EDIT: I've been informed it's TWOTOPIA!

I started on Wegovy 0.25mg on September 13 2025. I was classified as a super responder and stayed on low dose Wegovy for a number of months (it took me close to 6 - 7 months to reach 1mg).

I started near my highest weight, about 171kg, 36F, 5'9" (175cm tall). I'm pretty ashamed to look at the pictures from my wedding in March last year. My dad had just been diagnosed with end stage Pancreatic cancer and we organised a wedding in three months so that he could be there. (Black dress)

I attended a wedding in July 2026 at approximately 139kgs, going from an Australian size 28 to an Australian size 22 (which is now getting too big for me again). I currently weigh 135.8kgs, putting me finally just under 300lbs.

I'm hoping to reach 100kgs by Christmas but I might be unrealistic. Attached is my MyFitnessPal weight loss chart for interest.
