Week one I dropped 5 pounds, week two 2, then I regained and relost through the remainder of the month. Month two was a total yo-yo, ending around six or seven pounds down. In month three I am losing slowly and steadily. Wait and see, change nothing, odd stuff happens at the start. I would only...

That sounds normal to me. Reta commonly shifts heart rate and HRV. Only lately did I hear that blood pressure can move too, the HR/HRV side I've known about for ages, and it doesn't seem to hit many people. Mine had already been running too low, so when somebody said reta can bring it down, I...

Spent nine months on Tirz through a doctor, paying an absurd amount of money. Was also referred out to see a psychiatrist to work through my relationship with food..... that specialist told me all food is equal and I should unlearn everything I thought I knew about nutrition and treat every food...

So thrilled for this outcome! Inflammation's dropped significantly on my end too. Really appreciate you sharing all this!

Just started myself too. Second dose is tomorrow. First one came with zero side effects besides some mild constipation. Appetite suppression hit almost right away, and my blood glucose numbers improved dramatically too.

Exactly this! Point isn't wiping out hunger completely, it's about having control over it. If you literally can't eat, that's your body telling you the dose is too much.

Doctor's moving me over to ozempic instead. Told me flat out there's no way I'm going back on mounjaro. Said a second or third reaction like that could actually be dangerous.

This actually helps, thank you. My anxiety's genuinely improved with this medication, though I'm still dealing with the stress around travel and work related stomach episodes.

Is that free entirely, or just discounted through your supplemental insurance? Also heard there's a separate program aimed at seniors that doesn't grant full access to everything. Just going off what I've heard though. There's a gym chain here that offers something like it.

My wife dropped close to 100 pounds on tirz and has since shifted to reta to hold steady while she works on building muscle. On my end, reta's been my thing lately, not much left to lose so it's mainly for recomposition purposes. Worth mentioning it pushed my resting heart rate up around 10bpm...

Genuinely a big edge to have honestly, once the medication settles in and appetite suppression returns, results should show up fast since discipline's already sorted on your end.

Right?! Had a work dinner Wednesday somewhere with all-you-can-eat grilled meats and went way overboard. Weighed in the following day and only saw just over a pound added. My stomach though, felt like it packed on twenty.

Can't say for certain it was tesa specifically, but it wasn't a problem either way. Water retention faded fairly fast, if memory serves.

The first 3-4 days of lethargy turning into a small buzz is really encouraging to share when someone is in the middle of the exhausted part. Knowing the energy signal usually flips in the first week or two makes a big difference in whether people stick with it. Have you noticed the buzz...

the berry smoothie with Metamucil added is one of the cleaner ways to front-load fiber and protein before the appetite suppression kicks in for the day - frozen berries add antioxidants, the spinach disappears into the flavor, and the psyllium in Metamucil covers the fiber target early. the AG1...
