What criteria do you use to select obesity injections?
I have been trying to lose weight by combining diet and exercise for the past few months, but since I haven't been losing weight as effectively as I expected, I am looking into weight loss injections. At first, I thought the weight would naturally drop if I just reduced my food intake and increased my exercise, but after reaching a certain point, it has been stagnating at a similar weight. It is especially difficult to resist my cravings in the evening, so it is not easy to stick to a planned diet for more than a few days.
So this time, rather than starving myself excessively on my own, I am thinking of consulting a hospital and considering weight loss injections. However, there are more types than I expected, so I don't know what criteria to use to choose. It seems that the methods of use, frequency, and characteristics of the injections vary, so I am curious to know what aspects those who have actually received consultations considered most important.
I would like to lose weight slowly while changing my eating habits, rather than losing a large amount in a short period. I am wondering if I need to continue exercising or managing my diet while using the weight loss injections, and I am also concerned about the possibility of gaining weight back if I stop. Additionally, I would like to know what is commonly checked when starting the injections for the first time, or if there is any information that would be helpful to prepare before the consultation.
I am curious to know why those who have actually used weight loss injections started in the first place. If you are considering weight loss injections because your weight has plateaued, it would be helpful to know what consultation process you went through and whether you also managed your lifestyle habits. As I am just looking into this, I would prefer to hear real-life experiences rather than advertisements.

- 02CommentsIt would be best to first check the differences between medications and the prescribing criteria. For the consultation, prepare records of your height and weight changes, comorbidities and medications, and diet and exercise routines. Start by asking for an explanation on whether medication treatment is necessary for you. If prescribed, it would be helpful to receive guidance regarding the expected limits of change, common discomforts, symptoms requiring immediate contact, and timing for follow-up checks. Do not arbitrarily change the dosing interval or dosage; adjust them with the medical team, and discuss your diet and exercise plan together.200026.10.22
