Not trying to jinx it, but I’m four months past my last prescription and my weight has been hanging out in a 5-pound window. I lost about 37 lb over 11 months, mostly by making the dining hall salad bar do heavy lifting and eating an embarrassing amount of cottage cheese and frozen edamame.
I’m a broke student, so my protein strategy is basically “what’s on sale and can be microwaved in a mug.” The meds quieted the food noise, but the habits stuck around: one plate, protein first, walk to class even when I don’t want to. I’m not asking for a protocol or anything medical, just curious whether other people who came off managed to keep most of it off.
Did your weight drift back slowly, or did your day-to-day meals just look different forever? What was the first thing that slipped for you?
