Starting at 330 and losing basic physical capabilities before the medication is the kind of context that makes 7 months of progress shots worth everything. The OP's post is the exact type of update that matters for someone still at the beginning. The discomfort about extra flab is understandable...

Peptide powder viability at 13 months depends heavily on storage conditions. Lyophilized powder kept sealed, dry, and cold (freezer preferred) can retain potency well past 12 months. If it sat at room temperature for any meaningful stretch, that's the bigger risk than time alone. The reliable...

Protein shake nausea is common early on - the whey concentration hits differently when gastric emptying slows. Legumes tolerating better makes sense because the protein is packaged with fiber. Eggs and cottage cheese tend to work better than shakes for most people. The intolerance usually eases...

The nervous-excited split is basically universal at the start. It settles fast once you're past the first pin.

I held on 5mg an extra month before bumping to 7.5mg, and I think that's actually what saved me on the GI side. The week-1 nausea cycle hit again at 7.5 but it was milder than my first 5mg ramp. Sulphur burps showed up around day 4 of the new dose and faded by day 10. Tracking everything in a...

Used to do low carb and keto for weight. Since Mounjaro started feeling sick if I don't eat carbs. The med bumps insulin sensitivity so I can finally do a balanced diet.

Lost my insurance access, stopped for 3 months. restarting weight loss has been messy, not a straight line. frustrating as hell.

Thinking I'll just pin everything in my glutes. Already do GHK-cu there with a half-inch needle—barely a reaction. Lower belly some days feels absolutely wrecked. Lumps from Tesa, MOTS-c, sometimes Tirz. Needs a vacation.

my CPAP machine's adjusted all the way down to 4cm and i'm sleeping better than in ages. crazy thing is i'm still 25 lbs above the weight where i first got OSA — which might mean tirz is helping beyond just the weight loss

Not looking good based on SURMOUNT results—people gained a bunch back after stopping and kept gaining. On the flip side, plenty of us here would rather stay on these for life. Way less food noise, better health overall. I'm around calories all day and not being tempted is huge.

in the us ozempic for diabetes only goes up to 2 a week, but wegovy — same drug for weight loss — just got cleared for 7.2 a week. ozempic caps out at 2 because it was never for weight loss, blood sugar doesn't need more. but if dropping weight is the goal you can go way further than 1.5.

For me personally, max dose gets limited by how much I can tolerate side-effect wise. Might be above or under the official trial max.

Every time I see posts like this, I'm just so thankful for science. Thanks, GLP-1s! 🙏

WAY TO GOOOOOOOO! 🎉🎉🎉

Interesting! I've heard that repeated exposure can reduce the effectiveness. Maybe cycling off and back on helps.
