The changes my Dr made have all done what they were meant to. I was sitting on 15 mg of tirzepitide and seeing no weight come off at all. The cause was total appetite suppression: I simply was not eating properly, and my blood counts showed it - potassium, vit d, vit b 12, liver enzymes, that sort of thing. Come down to 5mg and step up by 1 mg at a time, she told me. I am on 8mg now and it is going well. Some food noise is there, but it is manageable. It keeps me eating correctly. This weightloss journey has run a long while for me. Suppressing my appetite quite so completely was a mistake and I knew it at the time, but bad body disphoria had me heading towards a starvation eating disorder, and with my Drs help I got it under control before it took hold. Some of the peptides I was taking have gone as well. What I take today is kpv, 5 amino, EPITHALON for sleep, and my tirzepitide. ss31, mots and nad will come back for a while - they do not seem to be working as they should, and I think that once my body is back in check I will be better at monitoring. klow goes back in after my next surgery. Given everything I have been dealing with, my body being out of whack is no surprise. Getting through the dog bite mess was rough.
Having a Dr who understands me and does not judge what I have to do is a real blessing.
