The pinned overview and the wiki are the fastest way to get grounded - this thread covers the main questions that come up in the first month before the side effects settle.

Food aversions cycling on and off is common during active loss - chicken being the most reported trigger is so consistent it shows up in every side effect thread. The 10 lbs to goal is the stretch where pace slows and patience pays.

Same method applies to tesa and GHK-CU. Subcutaneous works for both.

had meniscus and ligament surgery on both knees plus cartilage wear. got recommended a therapy where they draw blood and inject something like matrix cells. also heard about peptides like bpc and tb500. curious if anyone's tried this for cartilage damage.

trt dosages in the us range 70-250mg weekly depending on the person. i'm at 150mg test-c with 1100 total test and e2 of 50. friend takes 250mg and sits at 850 total with 35 e2. no one-size-fits-all - forcing a protocol like that is how problems start.

Bac water is pretty hard to mess up. Used random Amazon bac water for ages and everything's been fine. Only switched to Hospira because Amazon cut us off and I found it cheap at injectionshop. If I can grab Hospira for about the same, might as well.

Paused for 2 weeks before my colonoscopy — had to be spotless. GLP really slows your GI tract. Lost a ton of weight during prep, then had a huge sinful meal right after and got back on the shots. Conflicting instructions on surgery? I just played it safe.

Been on GLP-1 eight months to drop blood glucose. Six months Trulicity (dulaglutide) then two months semaglutide — FBG from 180s down to 120s. Few days I hit fatigue when my glucose dipped to 102, 105. Still normal for most people but low for me. Might need a tweak based on what my body's used...

I've read about it. Vets supposedly use it on horses, but it hasn't been approved for humans.

Bringing back an old thread with another option for yacon: a powder from Nuts.com

I add about 1ml of 2% lidocaine per 50mg of GHK-Cu. Red spot but no itch or pain. My dermatologist uses less than that for biopsies, so I figure I'm way under.

always did thighs because i thought stomach would hit worse with nausea. thighs were 6-8 out of 10 pain, super high tolerance and it still stung like crazy. switched to stomach a couple weeks ago, down to 1-3 pain. maybe the fat makes a difference. no nausea issues so far 🤞 if stomach's working...

I'm about a year and a half in, and down about 90 lbs! Feels great, but I still feel mentally like I'm a bigger person sometimes. Clothes are weird now. Anyone else?

I've been reading about people doing one meal a day (OMAD) on weight loss meds. Anyone have experience with that?

Looking good! 😎
