If you’re considering starting a weight loss program in Tri-City, IL, you’re probably excited to finally boost your weight loss progress and experience more energy, better health, and higher confidence.
But you might also have a few questions about the process. Luckily, our team at French Med Spa + Health has put together this guide to give you an idea of what to expect during your first month.
While everyone has a slightly different experience at our weight loss clinic, we focus on building a strong, sustainable foundation that sets our patients up for long-term success. Here’s what to expect.
Week 1: Getting Started
Every medical weight loss program begins with a personal consultation where we evaluate your medical history, take comprehensive labs, and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.
If the program seems like a good fit, we get you started on weight loss injectables, usually at a low dose to allow your body time to adjust.
During this phase, we also give you guidance on nutrition and lifestyle changes to support your success.
Week 2 and 3: Initial Changes
During the next few weeks, you may notice changes in your body’s rhythms.
As the weight loss injections do their job, most patients experience:
- Fewer cravings
- Feeling fuller between meals
- Changing hunger cues
Your energy levels may also fluctuate as your body adjusts to the changes, but this is where lifestyle guidance can be impactful. Meal structures, movement, and stress management help smooth the transition.
Week 4: Finding Rhythm
By the end of the first month, most patients find a rhythm with their weight loss program. They often feel more in tune with their bodies, eating patterns feel more manageable, and routines settle in. You may also notice early progress.
With follow-up appointments, we review key health markers and make any necessary adjustments.
