Study Shows “Full Weight REGAIN” After Stopping Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic

A recent study came out showing that once you stop taking Wegovy, Mounjaro or Ozempic, you’re likely going to regain all the weight you lost initially while taking the drug...

Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Saxenda, Semaglutide & GLP-1s have been touted as “game-changers” and “miracle drugs” for treating weight loss & obesity. However, like all drugs that treat “chronic diseases” (i.e. type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol, etc.), you will likely have to rely on them forever if you never address your underlying lifestyle - that is - your diet, exercise, sleep, stress, etc.

[dubcuda]

Benn off for over a year and have lost 45 more pounds. Change your eating habits

[erinanderson]

I’m not sure why folks shocked- you take cholesterol meds for life( most times) hypertension drugs, diabetes etc

[thomaswdees]

This isn’t about the weight loss. It’s about restoring hope. I have never been thin. I need to experience it just once in my life!

So is this really a surprise? The weight loss benefits are astonishing and rival that of gastric bypass. People that are diabetic are on insulin for life so why is taking this drug long term such a big deal?

Being morbidly obese often leads to sleep apnea high blood pressure diabetes and heart and cardiac events and the list goes on and on.

Taking Mounjaro Trizepotide is a game changer.

Another doctor claiming that if you only had more willpower and exercised and improved your diet you could control your weight.

That has been the attitude for many uneducated on these new medications for a very long time.

GLP-1 and GIP works with your hormones which in people that are morbidly obese are not in balance or not operating like they do in people that are not morbidly obese.

Also genetics plays a factor.

Trizeparide works with your hormones and tells your brain that you are full and you no longer need to eat. It also slows the emptying of your stomach into your intestines.

These medications enable a person that has some form of hormone imbalance to live a normal life and eat like most other people that are not morbidly obese. The food noise, as it is known, in a morbidly obese person is not like that of a person who eats normally.

It's so very annoying to listen to doctors who are of the belief that every morbidly obese person is like that because they lack willpower are lazy or don't exercise and it is their lifestyle that is the reason for their obesity.

This is old and outdated thinking and quite frankly is not accurate. You may want to do more research on these medications. I have been on Mounjaro for 43 days. My blood sugar went from 165 and is now 100. My weight has dropped 14 pounds. My blood pressure is now normal and my AHI from my sleep apnea dropped from 5 to under 1. The results actually speak for themselves.

The cancer you referred to was never seen in a human being only observed in Lab rats during testing. Semaglutode has been around for a very long time and Triepatide was in phase two trials for over 8 years. 8 years is in my opinion is a long time so it's not not brand new.

FenPhen was a stimulant like the drug speed or amphetamines and as you mentioned had unacceptable cardiac events.

GLP-1 class medications are nothing like amphetamines or FenPhen.

Exercise eating and diet are all important but in a morbidly obese person, as mentioned previously, is not enough.

So doctor let me ask you?

Would you rather take a medication that lowers your blood sugar lowers your blood pressure causes you to lose 80, 90 or 100 lb somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 to 22% of your total body weight or should you not take these drugs and experience all of the other risk factors associated with being morbidly obese.

Like all medications you need to do a risk benefit analysis. For a large majority of us who have done this risk based analysis taking trizeparide and benefiting from its use is far better than not taking it because it has been proven to work. The peer reviewed research bears out the fact that it works.

So now the truth comes out and you're selling a program for weight loss like GOLO and Nutrisystem and a whole host of others that actually don't work. They are the things that lead to depression and feelings of failure.

Another person with an agenda trying to sell something and shoot down these new medications which are proven to work.

Is anyone actually surprised

[fintacy]

If you don’t change your habits after quitting the drug then duh, your gonna regain the weight🙄 when you lose the weight, take advantage of being able to do more things by exercising working more, don’t get back lazy and don’t keep being a glut, not being an ass but speaking facts.

[thewrongshoes]

What if the underlying "problem" turns out to be a problem with our hormones all along? I bet 5-10 years from now they'll prove the obesity problem is some malfunction in our bodies . Im saying this as someone who has lost over a hundred pounds on glp-1 medicines. I eat better then I ever had in my life because guess what - healthy food is appealing to me now. Also I don't go around looking for sweets or fast food. I actually don't want it - something that never happened from listening to nutritional advice. My body actually wants to eat the right amount of healthy food instead of junk and I can't help but wonder if this is what it feels like for naturally thin people. They think they have willpower that fat people don't but maybe just maybe their hormones and such are working properly and naturally mine does not

[ronnienelson]

It should be a maintenance drug in a low dose while you change eatting habits and exercise.

[Dr.PrettyProfessor]

Could you provide us with the research study? I'd like to read for myself.

[CarolynnScoffield]

NO! I will NOT gain all of the weight back. I’ve done work on my own to lose the weight. I’ll continue with all of it. The Mounjaro certainly helped me, but my good new eating and exercise habits will help me maintAin my weight loss!

[justimagine]

Yes, and they will stop paying for it and won't pay for it again if you gain back. Your pancreas has become permanently damaged and you have less insulin cells so may as well stay on reduced calorie diet and not go insane with hunger.

[CarolynnScoffield]

I’m wondering if there would be benefit in staying on a lower dose of Mounjaro in order to continue the help it gives me with my severe insulin resistance. Metformin alone never did help me much with that at all!

[gorgeous.akosua]

Doc, they know. They know.
What you are saying makes sense but the don’t want to hear you.

[TheDivineFemedianTarot]

But yet the drug is hard to find. Out of stock everywhere and insurance is starting not to cover it. So i have insulin resistance PCOS etc. I had started my highest weight at 605 pounds. I knew how to eat healthy but was in a miserable relationship and just generally lost in the world. Whatever lol! So i left all that behind, met with a Nutritionist, joined Kickboxing and never looked back. So here is my story. I started taking Victoza. The weight came off nicely. I did Kickboxing, swimming, the gym everyday. I watched what i ate but definitely still ate what i wanted when i wanted because Victozia was doing its job until it didnt. I didnt know that if you stopped taking it you would gain the weight back. Anyway, I was 340 pounds when it stopped working. But it wasnt the drug that stopped. I stopped. Enter another life crisis with my sister in law getting cervical cancer and watching her die for a whole year. My life went from healthy eating, working out to helping my brother care for his dogs and late night hospital runs etc. After Jessie passed away i had made a promise to change things again. I was up to 460 pounds because the eating was out of control. I dont think thr medication had anything to do with that. It was my emotional processing of everything in my life that i was trying to comfort. So a year after she died, I went for weightloss surgery. I got down to 325 pounds and stopped losing weight. Why? Because 300 pounds is the highest weight at my youngest age at full height which was 17. I was able to lose the 25 pounds along with the hundreds i lost prior because the body has no problem shedding excess weight gained after the age of 17 years old. I was 125 pounds at 5 years old and that is when your fat cell amount is determined. Anyway, I had a tummy tuck at 325 pounds because its an option now and my surgeon did an amazing job! Bye stomach! Im not going to miss you! I was 306 out of the hospital. I then went back up to 320 almost over night. But was realky from sitting around recovering. I did watch what i ate though. Enter in Saxenda. Weight started dropping again. Now enter Wegovy and now im 280 pounds. Honestly, here is the thing. I don't want to stay on Wegovy forever. I also take a high dose of Berbarine(check out Dr. Westin Childs on YouTube for help on that) so im not sure if its the Wegovy or Berbarine kicking in or both. Either way I have trouble eating. I cant overeat even if i wanted to. I cant starve myself because then the weight doesn't come off. Yes Wegovy makes you less hungry and not interested in food. Like really not interested. Which for me was familiar because that happened after weightloss surgery too. So i know i have to eat. I eat my meals and protein shakes because my body needs food. Healthy food. Use this time now if you are on Wegovy to change your diet so that you are used to not eating suger or junk food.

Im happy with my body now. I have spent alot of time working on my emotional response to food because that is what Wegovy and other drugs really do. If you have a question or need some help contact me.

[angelastewart]

Make the drugs affordable and maybe we will take them for the rest of our lives!! Seriously though, don't go back to old habits. It will be hard, but you are in control!

[anthonyrichard]

So you mean to tell me, the company that profits from selling a product tells you that if you don’t keep buying it forever then you will regain weight ?

[dogstorme]

Here’s the thing, I can lose 15kg a month if I reduce my calorie intake by 500 ish calories, and it’s different for everyone, but it’s easy people, it’s roughly 3 lemon tarts, it’s not much

[joshledford]

Well Doc, you should back up just a little on the fear mongering. As others have commented and as someone in the medical industry yourself you should 100% know that any weight loss by a diet or anything involving a temporary change to lose weight IE taking meds, intermittent fasting etc, if eating habbits arent corrected during that time you will 100% gain all the weight back.
Anyway its been a year since this post. It would be interesting to see your thoughts on GLP1s now days.

[youknow]

frightening that people will be on this drug the rest of their

[WindowEyes-krbd]

Dr. Jesse, do you need an amazing wife? I’m asking for a friend 👀 -it’s me… lol
