That sounds frustrating. I’d be confused too, since I’ve heard great things about this med and weight loss.

I hate a plateau. I’m close to my goal weight and it’s so illusive. It’s time for me to strip it down to the basics of journaling my food and closely counting every calorie. I’ll keep working out, but I’ve always heard you can’t outrun a bad diet. I won’t stop now.

What do you think you’re going to do next?

First thanks for replying and for what you are doing about your plateau.

I was going to call WEGOVY about my frustration and still plan to do.

I am not sure, but I have found that by not eating a full breakfast (have yogurt) that my stomach does not have anything to work on. This is just a guess though. But don't want to eat a lot as exercise for 2 hours in mornings and some of those are swimming and can get GERD while swimming if eat a lot prior to exercise. When I come home from exercising, I am hungry and do not feel any appetite suppression.

But at dinner I noticed I have started to feel not so hungry and not wanting to eat so much. I think my stomach (and mind) is reacting to what I had at lunch. I don't get the feeling at lunch because I have eaten extraordinarily little at breakfast.

You asked what I will do next. I am going to try to eat something little prior to lunch and see if that reduces my appetite and snacking that is quite frankly ferocious. And in addition to call to WEGOVY will try to eat more high fiber and less carbohydrates.

It is just disappointing to have been on this medication for over 3 months and nothing. I am so frustrated that for me this maybe is not the path to weight loss. I will discuss this with WEGOVY and my PCP who did the prescription for it.

You referred to going back to basics and that is probably what I need to do.
