That's awesome! Most people do 4 weeks at the starter dose, then 3 months each at the higher steps. I've still got a bit left on 10mg and honestly it's working well enough that I'm thinking about staying put. Side effects have been minimal at this level, which beats other doses I've tried.

Maybe instead of stopping cold turkey, you could try spacing out the doses like others have mentioned here? Then you can see how your body reacts slowly instead of all at once.

That's awesome you're managing your T2D so well, Ratched_00! If your doctor doesn't realize you need to stay on the meds that help you, find a new one, Georgie!

Congratulations, Happy_Update. And best of luck with your upcoming procedure. I can't believe your insurance covered everything! They approved my panniculectomy, but I'm on the hook for anything else I want. I didn't have quite as much to lose as you, but I might ask my doctor at my next...

My last injection is coming up! I'm so excited, it feels like the start of something new. My insurance actually came through for plastic surgery, scheduled for early October. So grateful, even though my parents aren't here to see it, I know they'd be cheering me on. I've lost 190 lbs! CraZy! Its...

Goals 🙌🏻

Congratulations!

Yay! So awesome. I've gotten rid of about 65 pounds so far. It's so wild that there's basically an 'easy' way to lose weight now. Before, it felt impossible! Now I can actually exercise without being in pain. All the weight made moving around painful! People say 'just exercise' but try strapping...

It's so weird how you can lose weight and not even notice it yourself. I saw someone saying they'd lost almost 40lbs and couldn't see the difference! Other people noticed before they did.
