Maintaining after GLP-1 weight loss — what works?

Reached goal weight 7 months ago. Doctor wants me to stay on a maintenance dose. I'm terrified of regaining. What's your maintenance protocol? Same dose less frequently? Lower dose? Anyone successfully maintained after stopping completely?

I'd push back on the cheating thing. Nobody says taking blood pressure mesd is cheating. Obesity is a metabolic condition. The drug fixes the underlying issue.

Yes! I noticed the exact same thing. Switched from sema to tirz and the difference in side effects was night and day. Tirz is much smoother for me.

I had the same concern. My doctor said the same thing — it's the rapid weight loss, not the drug. Mine stopped after about 19 months once my weight stabilized.

Following because I'm in the same boat. Week 1, 2.5mg, and the plateau is real. I'm trying to be patient but it's frustrating.
