I am considering taking Mounjaro to deal with a 35 lb weight regain after 9 yrs post gastric sleeve. Has anyone done this and what were results?

I have surpassed my goal and have lost half of my starting body weight

Almost there --- I have now lost 99 pounds from my all time high and am close to a normal BMI. I am just reveling in all the compliments especially from my family and friends. The loose skin is beginning to show and I have lost a moderate amount of hair - small price to pay for health and looks advantages of sleeve. I am thrilled and now looking at the long haul of maintenance. My appetite is much improved which is scarey but I am staying completely away from refined sugar which helps. I have been given an absolute miracle with this surgery and I am deeply grateful. Happy Holidays to all my friends on this forum.

Meant to write "my daughter's wedding". I am thrilled. I bought some jeans, shirts, and leggings as well. Almost can't grasp that I can wear a size 12.

Just have to gloat. Went shopping today for dress for May daughter's wedding and purchased a size 12. I had the deep down sense of pure joy and gratitude for the surgery and Dr. Suggs who did my surgery.

Checking in to say I am feeling wonderful and beginning to really look good. Look forward to my 6 month checkup. Still losing fairly rapidly and sooooo pleased.

Appetite increasing. Head hunger raising it's ugly head. Scale moving slower.

Had visit with my physician and dietitian today. I have now lost 54 pounds at 14 weeks and all my lab work was normal. I reported the amazing transformation in my health at this early stage. I have discontinued blood pressure medicine and cholesterol drug medicine. I sleep like a baby now and my knees and back pain has lessened. He said that I was "a model patient" and I just glowed. I am inspired to stay the course and continue on this wonderful trip. Good luck to all out there who travel this journey with me.

I had a tiny slice of macadamia nut cream pie and a few mouthfuls of homeade ice cream at the Memorial Day cookout. I ate a small amount of protein and little else & felt guilty. Back on track today and feel better about myself. I looked so good in my Bermuda shorts yesterday and DO NOT plan on ruining my progress. Food addiction is a baffling and powerful disease. I now have to get the sugar out of my system. SOOOOO not worth it. I am back on program. Good luck to you on this journey as well. -
I had very little pain post op but people have different experiences. I had more nausea than pain. I figure at my age I will be fortunate to have the excess skin problem. I am 50 pounds down and will worry about skin later on. I am just enjoying the ride down on the scales. I was still on liquids a week out but proceeded to puréed pretty quickly. The first few weeks are the worst part and then you will begin to feel so much better. I can eat most everything now but in very small amounts. Time passes quickly these days. Glad to have you as friend.

This is the day I have waited for over the past 12 weeks. I have now lost 50 pounds and have entered the magic kingdom of Onederland. I can remember the gradual ascent in my weight climb over the past 30 years and each ten pounds I would promise myself was the last. I am now 66 years old and beginning the descent toward a normal weight again. I like this trip better. My stomach is all healed now and I feel the restriction that the surgery has made possible. I have kept sugar entirely out of my diet and have strictly limited carbs. The portions I can hold at one time make it possible for me to continue the weight loss without craving food and overeating. My sleeve is my own gift to myself and I am so grateful to have the chance to lose this weight and enjoy my senior years without a huge body to carry around. Thanks for all the support thus far from the weight loss community. I bought clothes for the first time this past weekend as my second granddaughter is graduating from high school. I went from a size 22 to a women's 16. I was thrilled. I am soooooo blessed.
