How Do I Preserve My Semaglutide Results?

Semaglutide is among the most widely used weight loss medications available, catalyzing noticeable and meaningful weight loss for a wide range of patients. As a GLP-1 agonist, semaglutide injections can help you manage hunger and feel fuller faster than you would without the medication. This allows patients to not only reach a healthier weight range, but also feel more confident in their weight loss journey. 

Dr. Hossein Bagshahi, our board-certified bariatric surgeon, is often asked by patients whether the results of semaglutide are able to obtain a long-term outcome. Like all manners of weight loss, injections of semaglutide can last well into the future — but only when coupled with positive lifestyle changes. Tips that can help extend the longevity of semaglutide results often include:

• Be active and eat healthy: Regular exercise and a healthy, nutritious diet are critical after your injection regimen is complete. Living an active lifestyle helps maximize your weight loss from semaglutide, as well as reduces internal visceral fat between your organs. 
• Stress management: Since stress is a catalyst to overeating and weight gain, we recommend adopting techniques to help you manage your stress, such as yoga, meditation, playing sports, swimming, etc. 
• Stay hydrated: Drinking lots of water can regulate your metabolism and make it easier for you to exercise and lose weight, offering a myriad of benefits for your health and well-being. 
• Consult with your weight loss team: Our team can personally advise you on the best ways to maintain the weight loss achieved based on your lifestyle and the personal details of your treatment plan.
