I lost quite alot of weight last year with the help of wegovy.
Ive stopped taking it now, and i was weighed last night at my hospital appointment. I have gained a stone back.
Im really dissapointed in myself actually.
It has however motivated me to loose it again plus more without the weight loss drug. I have downloaded the NHS weight loss app and I plan to start using it today.
You have been ĂĽber stressed this last year. Stress causes the body to release cortisol - a so called stress hormone.
One of the things cortisol does is to encourage the metabolism to convert as much food into fat tissue as possible.
This is because cortisol gets released in famine. It’s your bodies way to try and get it through hard times.
I think there is a good chance your eating habits haven’t changed significantly since coming off the med.
It’s simply the bodies reaction to stress.
oh don’t beat yourself up…you have a busy, busy life…hard to diet…good luck.
I gained close to 10 lbs while i was in the hospital for a month but found out at my doctor’s appointment that 7.5 lbs of it was muscle and only 1.5 lbs was fat! My doctor uses a Tanita body composition analyzer. So maybe some of the weight you put on is muscle? My doctor was actually okay with my weight gain, he said i needed to put some weight back on…i almost laughed at that as NO doctor EVER has told me that before!
