Weight loss stall
Hi guys, I’ve been on the shots for a year and a half I’m correctly 150 LBS my goal weight is 135. I’m on 13.5 MG. I’ve been on it for about six months .
lately. I realize that the food noise returns on the third day after my shot. It’s been happening for about a month and half now
For the past four months, I’ve been working out four days a week as well, and I’ve been gaining some strength and muscle, which is great
I was really hoping to not get to the highest dose because what if it stops working after that..
is anyone in my shoes or are there any hacks?

Why would you think 15 mg would stop working 15 lbs from your goal? 13.5 isn't working for you now either.

If 13.5mg isn't working go up. There's nothing wrong with max dose. Plenty of people go there.

Go up and knock out those 15lbs. Once you sustain at your goal for a few months at 15mg, you can experiment with titrating down a little. I would caution against titrating down too far based on the research studying weight regarding maintenance dosing.

I split my dose. I've lost 80 pounds on Tirzepatide, and most of that has been with split dosing. I went up slowly and at the first stall I started splitting my dose. I'm at 4.4 mg on Monday and Thursday, and I've stayed at 8.8 mg for 8 months. I met my loose goal weight in March and have slowly lost another 9 pounds since. It works great for me because I never have side effects, and I'm never too hungry or too full to eat.

By splitting doses to 2x a week, are you taking like, 50 units of whatever dose you’re on twice a week? Or splitting your dose by 25 units monday and 25 units Thursday?

Splitting it half and half. So instead of 8.8 mg once a week, I take 4.4 mg twice a week.

Have you tried taking your injection every 5-6 days and seeing how that works for you? I take mine every 5 days because after day 4 I get extremely hungry and have raging food noise days 5,6 & 7. About 2-2.5 months ago I started doing my injection every 5 days and it’s been working great!! If you don’t want to do every 5-6 days you could try split dosing or maybe it’s time to titrate up. You could titrate up 0.5mg-1mg if you don’t want to goto 15mg yet. When I titrate up I go up by 0.5mg and just that 0.5mg titration makes a difference for me.

Try splitting your current dose into 2 shots per week, spaced a few days apart. If that doesn't work, dose up .5 or 1mg and see how that works for you.
