I ❤ this podcast! A 13 year gastric bypass patient and now on Zepbound. I had gained 60 pounds from my 111 pounds loss after surgery. Started taking Zepbound and now I’m back to my initial weight loss again! I’m perimenopausal now and my only issue is now my doctor wants me to come off of Zepbound against my personal wishes?
@@apoundofcure My Doctor stated two reasons why. 1. I have had a complete lifestyle change and she believes I can maintain without meds. 2. We don’t know the long-term effects of taking this meds. I was at 7.5mg and now I’m on 5mg, due to her bumping me down. I’m due to see another doctor on Monday while she is out on leave. I’m hoping that I can convince this person to keep me on 5mg even though she left orders for me to go down to 2.5mg
@@DeniseM-24 Got it! Thank you. I’ll put your question on our list to be answered, in-depth, by Dr. W and Zoe on an upcoming episode of The Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast.
Question is about protein shakes... I've seen some info (I believe some from you too) about protein shakes stalling weight loss. Does that apply to people who are using them almost exclusively or is it across the board? Does 1 a day affect it? Just curious on your thoughts about this...
