Tesa and BPC pricing varies by vendor. Domestic sources typically run 2-3x Chinese vendors on both.

The SURMOUNT-4 data makes the treatment-not-cure point hard to ignore. Weight returns when medication stops because the underlying metabolic state has not changed. The focus during treatment has to be habit building.

A1c at 9.6 is serious territory to start from. The turnaround on Ozempic for T2D is one of the clearer data points people track.

Wow! That's amazing! You're doing so well!

I think the pain is from the low pH. Raising it should help a lot. Like I said, you could add lido to numb it. But a lot of people use SB to raise the pH to a good level.

Try mixing with some lido or using sodium bicarbonate to get the pH up to around 7.5 or 8. That should help. There are a LOT of past posts about this. You can search and find them.

That's funny, IF-warrior, I had the opposite experience. I was fine for the first half a year, then started getting raised, itchy welts at the injection site. Switched to a longer needle and it stopped.

I had similar reactions until I switched to a longer needle. Now it doesn't happen anymore.

OMG that's terrifying! I'm always so worried I'm gonna mess something up. Thanks for the warning!

I've seen so many people change with this stuff, you'll do great if you keep going!

People keep asking me why I'm taking such a low dose of Sema and Reta, so I got tired of explaining it. 🤣 My advice is to let the appetite stuff help you make new habits. Eat healthy food and become a new you!

I'm going to test a vial of Sema to see if it's really a problem to store it for over 30 days, since that's what everyone says to do. I'll reconstitute to 9 mL and split it into 3 cartridges (3 mL each). I'll use one twice a week for 6 weeks, store another for 90 days, and another for 120 days -...

If you use good BAC water and keep things really clean, a vial should last way longer than 30 days. The name-brand stuff is good for like, 2 years in the fridge. I'm sure they use all kinds of preservatives, but if theirs lasts that long, ours should be good for more than a month. Compounding...

My starting weight was almost exactly the same as someone I saw online, and their goal is close to mine, too! Gives me hope. They said they've been on this since November and are almost there.
