[Results] 87 weeks, 36kg, and interval stretching was the hard part

Results Long Haul ×5

Week 72 update. 28kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 29.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

interval stretching versus dose reduction

Disagree on that part. 97.6% and 97.9% on the same vial is normal.

say how long you were on and at what dose before taper

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with regain, not with what you concluded.

cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing regain rates

About c/tapering

Stopping on purpose: dose reduction versus interval stretching, what the discontinuation arms of STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about regain, appetite return timelines, and the people who came off, regained, and went back on without treating it as a failure.
