The psychological adjustment to is not that straightforward in my experience

This is exactly right. TirzTom articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The The psychological aspect is what made the difference for me.

Reading this thread on The psychological hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 289 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 64 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about The psychological — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

MASHdoc_SA — that is really helpful context on The psychological. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer MounjBrad's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, The psychological adjustment is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.

The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.

The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
