Stepped on the scale this morning and finally saw 25 lbs gone since I started. Non-scale win: my rings fit again. Just wanted to share with people who get it. 🙌
Hit my first 25 lbs down today!

The mental shift is real and nobody talks about it enough. By month 3 I stopped thinking about food constantly. I'd walk past a donut shop and feel nothing. That's not willpower — that's the medication working on a neurological level. I genuinely feel like a different person and it's still a bit surreal.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

Your labs look incredible. That A1C drop is massive — your doctor must be thrilled.

The protein-first approach is the single best nutrition change I made. Before any carbs or fats, get your protein in. It works synergistically with the medication to preserve muscle while you're in a deficit.

For the nausea: small meals, no greasy food, ginger tea, and Zofran if your doctor will prescribe it. The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest. Everything gets better after that point in almost every case I've seen in this forum.
