Upping Reta dose alone chasing better appetite control backfired for me - ran straight into rough side effects. Haven't stacked Tirz and Reta together yet but mixing them might give you the suppression boost without the dose creep risk. Trust the process of slow rather than hard.

Thanks everyone for the tips! Sounds like protein shakes are the way to go for a while. I'll try the soup trick too. Maybe I'll experiment with some different flavors of protein powder. Appreciate the support!

That's awesome WildBabe! It's inspiring to hear success stories like yours, especially for those of us just starting out. I just hit the 2-month mark myself and dropped around 15 pounds. Seeing your progress is a great motivator!

Try soup. The broth and small bits of shredded chicken are working ok for me, but large portions of meat or anything greasy make me ill. Chocolate does too!

You look great!

Hey everyone. So, I started my injections this week, and luckily, I haven't had any awful side effects so far. But, I'm finding that I can't even look at protein or fats of any kind. All I want are plain, simple carbs. I'm also craving sweet stuff, not savory - think toast with jelly, cream of...

Drink a ton of water, and get some probiotics in you! An Activia yogurt also worked wonders for me to calm down my system. My sulphur burps are way better now.

Wow, fantastic job!

I just found my prom dress from like, 2006! I'm gonna try it on this weekend. Wish me luck!

Unbelievable progress, you look great! Keep up the awesome work!!!

Great job! Congrats!!! Same thing happened to me with my ring size... I would love to have smaller rings and shoes!

You look fantastic. Don't stress about your fingers if the rest has changed. You look fabulous - keep it up!

Thanks again, everyone, for the kind words! It really does help to keep me motivated going forward.

Thanks, everyone! ShotHealth, Mix-Good, VeggieFWIW, appreciate it. To answer a few questions, what was your dosing schedule and how much did exercise contribute to your progress?
