Start with What Is Medical Weight Loss? (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/blog/what-is-medical-weight-loss) ## Before You Start: Your Consultation Your first visit is all about understanding you. Expect your provider to: - Review your health history and current medications - Ask about past weight-loss attempts and what's gotten in the way - Talk through your goals - Order lab work if needed **Tip:** Bring a list of your medications and supplements. It makes the visit faster and safer. ## Month 1: Getting Started ### Starting your plan If medication is part of your plan, you'll typically start at a lower dose. This gives your body time to adjust. ### Adjusting to changes If you start a GLP-1, early side effects can include: - Feeling full quickly - Nausea - Constipation or digestive upset These often ease as your body adapts. Let your provider know how you're feeling so they can help. ### Building habits Month one is the perfect time to focus on: - **Protein** at every meal to protect muscle - **Hydration**, which matters even more in the Florida heat, where you lose water through sweat all day - **Regular movement**, including some strength training ## Month 2: Finding Your Rhythm By now, many people feel more in control of their appetite and more comfortable with their routine. Your provider may adjust your plan based on how your body is responding. This is also a great time to think about protecting your muscle and skin. Many clients add EMSCULPT NEO (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/services/emsculpt) to build muscle as they lose fat. Learn why in How to Keep Muscle While Losing Weight on a GLP-1 (https://icryo-stjohns-fl.com/blog/keep-muscle-losing-weight-glp-1). ## Month 3: Seeing the Shift By month three, many people notice: - Clothes fitting differently - More energy and confidence - Healthier habits that feel more natural Progress isn't always a straight line. Plateaus are normal. Your check-ins help you and your provider work through them. ## Tips for a Successful First 90 Days - **Show up for every check-in** - **Track how you feel**, not just the scale - **Prioritize protein and strength training** - **Drink more water than you think you need** - **Be patient**, because sustainable progress takes time ## Thinking About Loose Skin?
