When you add hormones your body stops making them naturally - it's equilibrium. I was on Mounjaro 4 months and only lost 12 lbs, then gained 15 back (whole other story). Hunger usually calms in 6 weeks or so, at least it did for me. Could be worth a second round with a slower taper.
I wonder this too! I'm still trying to figure out the calculations. Like, if I have a 5mg vial and add 5ml of water, how much do I draw if I want a dose of 300mcg?
I saw someone online talking about how much GLP-1s changed their life. They're off all their blood pressure meds, and their cholesterol and triglycerides are perfect for the first time in 15 years!
Mine's improving as I lose pounds. I think it's weight-related rather than GLP-1 related. Plus, they can dehydrate you a bit because they make you pee more.
That's an incredible transformation! Remember to monitor your nutrient intake closely, especially with such significant weight loss. Staying hydrated and ensuring you're getting adequate protein are key.
Interesting journey you've had. I saw you mentioned Reta didn't work well by itself? I haven't really heard of that. And now tirz and survodutide? I've heard of survodutide. What does it do for you *with* the tirz, and what made you stop tirz at first if it was helping?
