@Drew_19 yep, when i was new i got anxious about timing and it just added stress. keep it simple, your body will thank you. enjoy the trip!

The glucose spike nausea is a separate mechanism from the GI motility slowdown causing the constipation - addressing both at once usually means finding a soluble fiber that works without fermentation byproducts, plus a stimulant laxative like bisacodyl on the days you're most blocked, rather...

Exercise plans on sema vary a lot by tolerance - starting light and building is the pattern that holds.

goal's 155-165. wife's been taking progress pics but i'm not seeing what i want. numbers are honest though. keeping my head up with the routine. this is becoming a lifestyle now, which is kinda the whole point, right?

You really don't need much: BAC water, 1ml and 0.5ml syringes for pinning, alcohol wipes, sharps bin. Everything else—especially empty vials—is honestly a waste.

stick with prozac unless you know for sure it doesn't work. it's got a long half-life and is well tolerated. no reason you can't cycle it sensibly. lots of meds are better that way than how they're prescribed - titrated up to doses that seem unsafe.

On it since Oct 2023, been at 1.0 for over a year. Lost 40, keeping it off. Food noise's back for months, no side effects anymore. Feel full quicker so I eat less. Four times I've thrown up in 15 months — starts with sulfur burps, then you know. Hours of it. Out of commission two days. Rough...

2.5mg did nothing for me. Zero loss. Jumped to 5mg and dropped a stone in 2 weeks — probably water weight since I was still eating. Seems like some folks just don't respond to low doses but do fine at a slightly higher one.

there's probably a lot of undiagnosed pcos or other reproductive stuff mixed in with those menstrual changes people report. hard to know what's the med and what's the underlying condition they didn't even know they had.

didn't really feel anything at low doses. did 4 weeks at 0.25, 2 weeks at 0.5, 2 weeks at 0.75 — that's when food noise went away and cravings got better. at 1mg everything really settled in and i could focus on weight loss instead of food.

Curious what supplements actually helped you with the fatigue? I'm taking basic D, B12, iron in the mornings and magnesium at night. Bloodwork's normal but I'm wondering if B1 or B6 might help. Also dealing with that emotional flatness on this med—not depression exactly, but like... nothing...

on the med since october, down about 25 lbs and feeling pretty solid about it. family got hit with norovirus and I skipped a dose week - thought dropping from 1.2 to 0.7 would smooth it out. huge mistake. the sickness that hit me was insane, stomach pain like nothing before, can't stop throwing...

Been on Ro's program and it's okay, but the cost adds up fast and I can't justify it long term. Started after my weight crept up to low 30s BMI and diet alone stopped working. Don't mind injections at all. What I need is something affordable I can stick with month to month without stressing...

Ozempic made my coffee taste revolting. Can't stand drinking it anymore. Really miss it.

Started at 180, got about 8 stubborn ones left before I hit 130. You've definitely pushed me to step it up. Amazing progress you've made.
