Losing that much in 7 weeks is beyond what is recommended. Careful, OP.

Congrats on getting through this whole process! You look fantastic! Mind if I ask a few things about the tummy tuck? On a fairly similar path myself and will need to figure out that procedure eventually after losing roughly 60 kilos. Hence all the questions. 1. Before your procedure, was the...

Ran a fairly aggressive 2mg daily dose with zero stinging at all. Sourced from three different sellers too. No pain from any of them. Guess we just got lucky.

Reading these replies freaks me out a bit. I'm on week 5, just moved to 0.5mg, and no nausea at all, and honestly I'm not sure it's working. I overhauled my eating, which might be why nausea never hit. Could it just be doing nothing?

I'm behind on this thread, but 12.5 was bad for me. I'd been on this GLP about a year and barely a month into 12.5 I gained, even working out most days with strength and cardio. My provider suggested another month, but I'm switching. Cost is 650 a month. It reduced my inflammation a lot, which I...

Six weeks of 2.5 mg, then this week I switched to 5 mg! Took the new shot this morning and I'm getting hit by intense appetite suppression!! Considering a step back to the lower one for next week.

I mix 3ml of bac into a 600mg vial. The sting really isn't that bad for me. Do you inject SQ, or IM? I figured out my IM ouch came from hitting the wrong muscle, and once I fixed that it's been fine.

Oh, while we're on the subject, by mistake I began at 19 units when it should have been 9, because the bottle instructions said 19. I was meant to do two weeks at 9 units (I think that's 0.25ml) and then go up. Oops! I checked with my doctor and she said 19 was fine to keep going with if it felt...

Reta 4mg failed for me. What works is 2.5mg reta plus 2mg tirz. I don't get why pushing one glp to its top dose would beat stacking two at doses I can tolerate. The alarm about that confuses me, it sounds like everyone agrees maxing one glp is sacred, which I haven't heard before. Maybe the...

I began 3 months ago. I take 3mg reta every 6 days, and to go up I inject an extra 0,5 two days after the regular dose.

Same for me. Perimenopause here, and my cycle is more regular now and the hot flushes have stopped too. Makes me wonder what Ozempic does to bring that on, since it can't be how much I've lost or how fast, I've been dropping slowly.

I got Semax and Selank and mixed them up for nasal use. With all that reading behind me I had put them on a pedestal, half hoping they could replace my ADHD meds. I already skip those meds most days, taking them just twice a month or so (mostly I forget), but I wanted a result almost as good...

Food noise was there before I started, went quiet on 2.5, then crept back near the end of that dose. I hoped 5mg would turn it down again, but it didn't. My PCP agreed to move me to 7.5, yet I'd refilled my 5mg a day earlier, and insurance pays for a fill once per 28 days, so I got stuck with...

Same here, 0.25 mg, and I'm glad we both got our lessons at the lowest dose. If we'd blundered like this on bigger doses, I dread the outcome. I'm sensitive, and a heavy dinner while on half a milligram or a full one would probably bring consequences that end my oze journey lol. Wishing you luck...

Would you share your age, and do you have T2D? Same boat here. Next week I go to 7.5mg, after 2.5mg for six weeks and then 5mg for six more, 12 weeks total. Saw a little movement on 5mg, but food noise and glucose aren't where I want them. My weight bounces around, 4 pounds down one week and...
