For small weight gain like yours, perhaps it's enough reduction to maintain current weight. You can't take it longer than a few years, because you'll have vitamin issues. Oil-soluble vitamins dissolve in the clumped fat and don't get absorbed. I tried this a few years before going with my "apple diet." It works, but my bloodwork after a few years said I need to stop. There is a catch. The first year, you Cannot pass gas. That clumped oil that comes out, comes out very easily, and unfortunately Alli makes you gassy too. This side-effect goes away in about a year if you power through it. Not a dietician or a doctor, but perhaps your mounjaro treatment can be cycled with Alli (cheap, OTC) every few years to save some cash. Invest in a large bottle of Dawn dishsoap. Put it in a spray bottle and spray the bowl after you do your stuff. You'll have to, just trust me.
