My doctor put me on Monjouro for weight loss. I lost weight with that, but the biggest thing was giving up on HIGH Carb foods. I mostly gave up things like potatoes (would have a small baked potato and would eat only half), I gave up French Fries totally. I only had miniature peanut butter cups in my house for low blood sugar episodes and stayed away from them otherwise. I stopped buying cookies, bars, cakes, etc from the store so I wouldn't have them in front of me. I gave up having ice cream as I was lactose intolerant, and if I ate too much, Oh Oh. It's takes willpower to do it, but my friends were understanding. If you go out to eat, start with the Salads, (limit the fatty dressings), stay away from anything that has breading and is deep fried. Eat baked Fish, Salmon, Chicken, Turkey, eggs (high in protein). I started having PROTEIN shakes once or twice a day also for a meal replacement or snack. I also bought Protein Bars for a snack between meals instead of having potato chips or other snacky things high in carbs. Hope this helps you.

Thank you. I know I am an impulse eater. I thought the WEGOVY would reduce my cravings but so far nothing. I told my wife I need to go back to me taking charge and not relying on WEGOVY.

I can lose it but it comes back on. I do a lot of exercising and was doing Sprint Triathlons. Injured my leg pretty bad sliding off a dock and could not exericse for 3 weeks. Gained 10 lbs because bored and snacked.

Then caught COVID for first time even after all shots and boosters. Really hit me hard and caused sinus infection and bronchitis. This was back in June and still not fully recovered. Again in that 2 months gained another 10 lbs. as was eating anything to make my throat feel better as was so sore could not talk (ice cream, choclate, grilled cheese sandwhich).

I need to go back to what you mentioned. The high protein and stay away from carbs. Thought my answer would be the WEGOVY but not on the started dosage.
Thanks!
