- yara_yields — maintenance update i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan, ask me again in a month 14:13
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else, talk to your prescriber about the dose
this phase gets no data the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve, still thinking about it less every month
for the maintenance notes appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
reduced the dose and what is your actual plan if you regain, written down or not
lovely, same phase either way
FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion

what did people change about food when the losing stopped, probably obvious to everyone else

monthly average thing again i set a trigger weight and i have used it twice in three years, which is exactly what it was for, not advice obviously
i dont think thats right, undid every fast change

anyone tracked measurements rather than weight through this phase
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved, not a general finding
last thing then i will shut up lower and steady beats lower and fragile. that is most of what this channel has learned
the plan matters more than the dose. know what you will do if the number moves, before it moves
thats SURMOUNT-OSA
