After 11 months on tirzepatide, I've lost 60 lbs (245 → 185). My doctor wants me to transition to maintenance. We're planning to reduce to 5mg every 10 days instead of weekly. Anyone done a maintenance protocol? Did the weight stay off?
Lost 60 lbs on tirzepatide — maintenance plan
I tapered from 15mg to 5mg over 3 months. Been at 5mg every 10 days for 6 months now. Weight has been stable within 3 lbs. The key is not stopping cold turkey — the appetite comes roaring back.
I stopped completely after reaching my goal and regained 15 lbs in 4 months. The appetite suppression was doing all the heavy lifting. Now back on 5mg and stable.
