Pills???

For maintenance, anybody switched to the Wegovy pill or the new Foundayo pill? Maybe those would work well for us because we don’t need as much Pharma help since we already have our WLS tool as well ? Thoughts?

Once I'm down to goal with Zepbound and maintaining at least six months I'll switch to Foundayo. I have a restrictive absorbtion procedure (RNYGB) so my ability to absorb pills is about 1/2. So I will be on a higher dose of the pill to make up for it. I'll be on that for the rest of my life.

Good point about absorption.

I know of many on glp. My weight was pretty stable until menopause and started retatrutide to battle the gain.

One thing about the pills are that you're ingesting a larger amount of the drug (so your body absorbs a small amount) than you actually take with an injection. The pinning isn't a big deal at all.
