What is the recommended number of obesity injections?
I wonder if I got too many... Last year, I couldn't control my appetite, so I took weight loss injections for about six months and lost about 8kg to reach my target weight. It was definitely the easiest time to lose weight because, unbelievably, I didn't feel hungry and my appetite completely disappeared while I was taking the shots.
The problem is that after achieving my goal and stopping the injections, my suppressed cravings exploded all at once, and I went back to my original weight in just two months. I wonder if I should have stopped gradually by reducing the dosage, and seeing my weight return to normal as soon as I stopped really hit me hard.
For those of you who, like me, have successfully maintained your weight after stopping the weight loss injections, how did you manage your routine? Should I turn to the injections again? I desperately need know-how and advice on post-injection management from those who have overcome the yo-yo effect and are maintaining their weight!

- 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
