Down 133 and off seven prescriptions. Side effects settle - usually within a few weeks.

Privilege and blessing point to different conversations about access and gratitude.

GLP-1 GI at the outer edge includes bile acid changes from rapid loss and motility slowdown. Worth a GI doc visit if it's been more than a couple weeks.

Not really. It's been used for over 20 years for diabetics.

Yeah, I do worry a bit. But like others have said, the number of serious diseases and health problems directly linked to being overweight is way scarier.

Welcome to the semaglutide forum! Just a quick reminder: let's keep the discussion focused on FDA-approved versions of semaglutide. No buying or selling meds here, not even in DMs. If anyone tries to sell you something, don't respond—they aren't supported by this group. New to sema? Check out...

Before GLP-1s, I was prediabetic and had symptoms. An eye exam revealed high IOP and blurry vision. Scary to think how bad it could have gotten if I hadn't addressed it.

Tirzepatide *might* activate it more strongly, and Reta possibly has less nausea because of the GIP action, but they all hit the same receptor.

I'm much happier knowing they're made in a lab now, haha.

You're super pretty, but I can't tell which pic is before and which is after. I don't see the huge weight difference you mentioned. Maybe some better pics?
