I usually prep my GLP-1 supply for six weeks at a time, but with reta and semaglutide I try to keep batches fresher. Reconstituting weekly for the shorter-cycle stuff keeps me from worrying about sterile technique breaking down over months. Yeah, it's more work, but I'd rather have clean product...

Dude, ALL the time! I dream about demolishing all the forbidden foods. Last night for the first time I was at a buffet in my sleep and actually passed on a bunch of high-carb stuff. I was about to get a plate of some delicious tuna rolls when my wife shook me awake, lol. I'm taking it as a...

I'm on Ozempic for T2D or prediabetes. My A1C was 10.1% with fatty liver. I say "or prediabetes" because sometimes I stop Ozempic for a couple months to check where my body's at, and it goes to prediabetes levels. I'm only on 0.25mg, and it keeps my blood sugar below 5.5mmol/l. If you stop...

I used to be a heavy drinker. I stopped completely on day one of the injections, and I couldn't even stand the smell of alcohol for a good three months. Now, at 4.5 months, I'm almost at my goal weight. I can take a few sips of a fruity drink, and I can tolerate being around friends who are...

You don't really stop being diabetic, Georgie. It's more like managing it. Maybe a lower dose would work or a different med if Ozempic is too strong? Get a second opinion if you disagree with your doc, but diabetes is usually a lifetime thing.

Cheers for the heads up re: possible injection site issues [@BurnStrong]. Always good to know what to look out for!

It really varies from person to person. Some people instantly lose all interest in alcohol, others experience stomach problems if they drink, and some aren't affected whatsoever. I'm in that last bunch. I do suspect that individuals with a history of alcohol abuse are more likely to lose their...

Fortune favors the prepared mind!

True that [@Stevie_1988], only get one shot at this life, gotta protect it! Cheers!

Wondering if it's excessive to grab an EpiPen, just in case of a bad anaphylactic reaction. I saw a video where someone mentioned they had a reaction trying a compound for the first time. What's everyone's take? Is it too much, or just being prepared?

Yeah, height would be helpful for context!

Looking great! More importantly, glad you're feeling good. Are you on a maintenance dose now, or sticking with a higher dose?

Hey Funky-King, that's great! I'm hoping to reach my goal in the next few months. This stuff is really working.

Try some magnesium citrate, like 800mg. Or even better, some Miralax, like 17g. That should fix your constipation issues. Miralax usually takes a day or two to kick in.

OMG!!! You've lost more than I weigh right now! That's a whole person. Congratulations!
