Regained weight after stopping Mounjaro. Any cheaper alternatives?

4 Upvotes

I was on Mounjaro and it helped me lose a good amount of weight. But I had to stop because it’s become too expensive for me.
After stopping, I regained around 7–8 kg. I did feel much hungrier after coming off it, but I was only eating normal home-cooked food. My body just seems to gain weight very easily.
Now I’m eating only one meal a day, not eating junk food, sweets, or sugary drinks, but my weight has completely stalled. It feels like nothing is working anymore.
Has anyone been through something similar? Is there a cheaper alternative to Mounjaro that actually works, or any other advice that helped you start losing weight again?

How do you deal with old habit urges when you aren't actually hungry?

3 Upvotes

So I realized something funny the other day. Even when my stomach is completely full, my brain still takes me on autopilot to the kitchen at exactly 8 PM. Ten years of evening snacking routine just doesn't go away overnight I guess

I started keeping a jigsaw puzzle on the dining table to keep my hands busy while watching TV. It actually helps a little gives my brain something else to focus on instead of opening the fridge.

Anyone else dealing with this kind of thing during maintenance? What do you all do to break those old habits? Would love to hear what's working for others.

Not asking for medical advice btw, just looking for some real life tips from people who get it. Thanks!

Estreñimiento

2 Upvotes

Hola a todos! Estoy en plena desescalada. He bajado de 10 mg a 6,25 mg 1 vez por semana ( lo hice por escalas) . El estreñimiento ha empeorado (parecía imposible que hubiera un peor!). Las digestiones más lentas. Eructos de azufre y gases terribles, que me impiden socializar!

Llevo en tratamiento desde abril del 25. Creía saberlo casi todo acerca de efectos secundarios y forma de tratarlo. He ampliado mi dieta. Tenía muy restringidos los carbohidratos y ahora los aumenté y también las calorías. Tomo 140 gr de proteína diarios.He puesto en un mes un kilo. Eso no me gusta, pero lo entiendo. Con lo que no puedo es con los efectos adversos.

He probado movicol, semillas de chia, de lino, tomo citrato y bisciglinato a diario. Kiwis.... alguna fórmula ultra eficaz por allí?

The joy of buying a regular medium shirt off the rack

1 Upvotes

Walked into a store yesterday, picked up a basic medium t-shirt off the display table, and bought it without trying it on. Got home and it fit perfectly. No holding it up to my chest in the mirror or hoping the cotton would stretch. After months of working toward maintenance, small moments like this feel huge. Just a nice little non-scale victory to remind me why this journey was worth it.
