Putting together a summary on imposter syndrome after weight loss feeling since I keep seeing the same questions pop up.

I am not a medical professional (just a well-researched patient) so take this with appropriate salt, but I have compiled info from published research.

Happy to be corrected by the actual clinicians here — that is the whole point of posting it.

JenMemphis's experience with Imposter syndrome after resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 35 lbs in 10 months.

One thing I would add that JenMemphis did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.

Thanks for sharing this, JenMemphis. A few questions about your Imposter syndrome experience:

1. What dose are you currently on?
2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Imposter syndro?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Imposter syndrome after.

To answer Dr.NephBHM_UK: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Adding my data to this Imposter syndrome after discussion:

Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.5g/kg/day.
