Sugar-free Liquid IV was my choice at first, though I never felt any effect. I switched to a different electrolyte brand and it does a much better job.

Honest take: Reta suits some people and Tirz suits others. For dropping 20-30 pounds plus a recomp, my pick is Reta; for more than that, Tirz. Funny thing, my own setup is Reta at 5mg with Tirz at 1mg lol. Although goal weight is basically reached, the food suppression calms me like an anxiety pill.

TrevorC95 For 14 months my maintenance was 5mg Tirz plus 8mg Reta; since then I've moved off the Tirz. First came 2mg of Elora from a supplier, which did very little. At 3mg I felt some appetite suppression. Next I moved to 4mg Elora while trying 6mg Reta, but it got complicated because a...

38M, 5'6", 197lbs at the start, 178lbs today. First dose was .025mg back on May 28, and currently I'm on 1mg. It's normal to lose slowly, roughly 1 to 2 lbs weekly. When you reach 1mg you'll see it drop more.

I can't speak to GHK-Cu because I'm too young for it to matter, but KPV and the healing blend are amazing. Take KPV separately and run it longer than the rest, the blend should be paused after 8 to 12 weeks. My routine is KPV at 1mg every day plus 0.5 of BPC twice daily, and everyday aches are...

That nausea feeling is completely normal and it does fade eventually. Been on this for years now managing diabetes. Over time it got effective enough that I was able to scale back the metformin, which helped my stomach a ton.

Ozempic's generally reserved for type 2 diabetes prescriptions only. Might be worth booking a consult at a weight management clinic instead, if you qualify there they'll likely put you on Wegovy or Zepbound.

Same question over here, tried it myself and the vacuum just pulls it right back in. Honestly having a bit of air in there makes hitting the correct dose easier too, anything beyond that tends to be hard to keep in the syringe.

The week 4 threshold for noticing MOTS-c workout effects is consistent with what other people report - the mitochondrial effects seem to accumulate over the first month rather than hitting immediately. 5mg 3x a week is in the middle of the dosing range people use.

Starting today means a year from now you will have your own anniversary post. The earlier you wish you started, the more committed you usually are. Welcome to it.

The medication quieting the appetite signal is real - what it can't do is build the automatic responses that take over when the signal comes back. Both parts need work.

Incredible stuff to hear. Feels surreal getting this close. Amazing work!

Hit me the same way. Once my body adjusted everything settled down pretty quick.

KPV might be worth a shot if you're dealing with stomach stuff. Helped me with some inflammation issues. Stick with it - you'll get past this bump.

That's strange, even after being off for a full month my glucose has just kept improving. The surgery stress could've done it, or maybe it was causing a false reading. But honestly with those fasting numbers, your current dose might actually be on the high side.
