Second round

So last year around this time I started Semaglutide. I went from 165 to 125 in 3 months. I didn’t exercise which was never a good idea for me.

I had surgery and started birth control just before my surgery for endometriosis removal in September and noticed weight gain even on the Semaglutide. I had to stop it for a couple weeks before surgery and after. Being bed ridden for a while caused the scale to creep up and up. The birth control didn’t help my appetite either. By January I was 140 lbs and February 160 lbs.

I’ve started it again since then and I’ve lost only 5 lbs. I’m on 0.5mg. When I first started Semaglutide I never went past 0.5mg because I lost so much weight so fast. I’m exercising and eating healthier as well this time around. But seeing little to no changes. I’m no longer taking birth control either. I stopped it in November.

Has anyone had success on their second time around? I feel discouraged!!
