Me too. Years on Ozempic here, lost then regained. My loss came from nausea, not from appetite suppression or getting full quicker. Moved to Mounjaro and lost 50 lbs in a year. I never knew what losing food noise meant until the switch, because Ozempic never did that for me.

I was under 300 when I began enclomiphene (7.5mg/day), and two months on I was close to 500. It prompts your own body to produce T. Tirzepatide is in the mix as well, so I'm shedding weight and my insulin numbers are falling. I'm hoping that as my metabolism gets closer to normal, I can get...

The food noise, no question. Explaining it to others properly. It just stopped. Only once it went quiet did I see how loud it had been. Huge relief. It kicked in within 24 hours.

If simply counting calories and running a deficit were enough on their own, without the medication quieting mental noise or extending fullness, people would've already solved this through sheer calorie tracking long ago. I don't count calories in a strict sense myself. I just eyeball a portion...

Comes down mostly to age, skin elasticity, and how fast the weight comes off. Some amount of loose skin is basically unavoidable.

Not blaming anyone, just genuinely asking. Pretty much everything I've read on weight loss in general touches on those same three points. Honestly just curious about it.

What a wonderful update, genuinely thrilled for this. No mention of side effects either, hoping this keeps delivering results!

An amino acid supplement helps calm that right down, available over the counter too. Works great for me, take a couple milligrams daily, also helps with leg cramps. Same ingredient found in a lot of energy drinks.

Same here. Tried every kind of anxiety treatment and medication over the years, nothing's ever made me feel quite like this. Hoping it does the same for you.

the hoarding instinct for a supply you trust is understandable but it does create the situation where you're holding a lot of something that could go bad. the potency difference between sources is real enough that people switching often have to recalibrate - the dose from one source doesn't...

Rybelsus not moving the scale and then injectable Mounjaro working is one of the clearest oral vs injectable comparisons you can make. For the OP waiting on insurance - the oral route during the gap is the version that usually disappoints. The hunger returning this hard during the gap is exactly...

The 'doesn't feel like it's working but it still is' observation is the mindset that gets people through the middle stretch. The subconscious behavior change piece - eating differently without actively trying - is the mechanism that's hard to attribute to the medication because it doesn't feel...

Obese most of a life, got to normal weight and back up several times, and now watching someone navigate that transition in real time - your experience gives context that a first-time loser genuinely can't have. The 'but I'm good' framing in the OP is actually the healthy version of how this...

31g 8mm is a solid standard spec - hits the right balance of flow rate and comfort for subcutaneous injection. Good to know Costco carries them directly rather than having to order specialty.

Split doses at 1.7mg every 4 days solving the end-of-week hunger and bringing side effects down is actually the two-for-one result that makes the split approach worth the extra injection. The OP's end-of-week hunger at 1.5mg weekly is exactly the half-life drop that more frequent dosing...
