Highlights from this day
  • juno_joins — how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled 19:49
  • juno_joins — did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were 21:29
  • back_from_away — SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion 22:44

two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, someone check my working

JJ

i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

AB

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

weekly not daily

appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it

AB

i came off for four months, put 54 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

AB

is maintenance different between cagrilintide and the others or is that all anecdote

JJ

did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were

slightly off topic but a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
