Hello.

I have been on VLCD intensive (& Mounjaro 2.5) for 12 weeks. I found it worked well for me. Week 13 & 14 l took a two week break from VLCD intensive but l continued 2.5 mounjaro.
I did this to change things up a little before l do another round of VLCD intensive (12 week).

During my two week break l was not getting hardly any protein, l stopped 3L water per day, l started eating lots of carbs, sourdough, cake, chocolate and sweets (still taking 2.5). I had no desire for these things for 12 weeks. I kept snacking throughout the day not getting full. It was like a complete 360. Although l did not eat to the level or types of food l ate prior to starting Mounjaro.

I started feeling a little food noise week 10-12 but l easily managed. I’m not sure if it was being out of mild keto that spurred this type of eating or if l need to go up. I was trying to stay on as low a dose as possible.

Today l tried going back on plan and by 4pm was eating chocolate. Feeling very nauseaous.

I thought l genuinely had made change. I still have another 36kgs til goal. Any help advice or suggestions? l took 2.5 Sat lm thinking of moving up to 3.75. So taking an extra 1.25 tonight then 3.75 from this Sat onwards (will speak to doc this week).

I have approx. 50kgs to lose. So far l have been on 2.5 and dropped 15kgs in this time. Considering the amount l have to lose l thought it would be a little faster. I have had a few moments of food noise but it goes.
I decided to take two weeks off to up my calories as lm also on vlcd with plans to go for a second round of optifast. I’m trying to stay on low dose for as long as l can.
But my eating has felt out of control the last week l have eaten chocolate and this is something l wasn’t even thinking about. I’m constantly snacking. Just had my weekly shot a day ago and it didn’t seem to do much.
I’m concerned this is happening what happens when l get to goal? I’m on such a small dose. It has me questioning things l wasn’t questioning two weeks ago? I still have a long way to go and lm feeling disheartened. I’m thinking of gastric sleeve.
Any helpful advice please?
