    They just don't get it, do they?

    TRT at micro-doses is reasonable as a starting point for muscle preservation while on GLP-1 - the synergy is there if managed properly. Beyond that, peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500 are the next tier without going full anabolic territory.

    Tirz isn't working for me... help?

    Most people underdose it - full cap of the label, not one scoop.

    Restarting GLP-1 after surgery?

    Post-surgery restart usually means retitrating from intro dose regardless of where you were before - the surgical window resets GI tolerance. At A1c 5.1, the goal is maintaining those labs more than matching the earlier loss rate.

    Down 60lbs -- Feeling Great!

    I'm just starting out. I'm worried, but I'm desperate. Did you have bad side effects? I keep reading horror stories.

    GLP-1: Injection site + Costco finds?

    Thanks RXPete! I was wondering what to do with my used needles. I'll check out that link.

    GLP-1: Injection site + Costco finds?

    From Costco - the Premier Protein drinks. I have one daily. It really helps you get the protein you need, especially when your appetite is low!

    Ozempic + bad food = 💥?

    Totally normal side effects for that food combination.

    MJ kicking fatigue's BUTT!

    Fantastic news! :D I noticed the appetite suppression almost immediately. Only on week 2, and I haven't weighed myself (avoiding the scale for sane mental health). I think I've lost maybe 2lbs and already I feel lighter. Getting up off the couch and out of bed is easier, and I can walk down...

    Doc says I'm done losing?!

    I also had my skin removal at about 160. This past August. You're going to be surprised by how thin you are without the skin. They removed 10 pounds from my midsection and more from my arms. Now I'm 133 and trying to gain weight!

    Doc says I'm done losing?!

    I can't afford surgery for my loose skin. What are my options? I'm in the UK, so the NHS probably won't cover it!

    Ozempic + bad food = 💥?

    Anything fried is not a good choice, and all those foods together would make most people feel terrible.

    I agree, you look like you shouldn't lose another ounce!

    GLP-1 costs are bumming me out

    The issue might be that your insurance only covers Mounjaro or Ozempic for diabetes, not for weight loss. That's how my insurance works. The only weight loss med they cover is Wegovy, but the copay is so high it's cheaper to pay out-of-pocket with a savings card.

    Foods you just can't stand anymore?

    Everything tastes overly salty now.
