Roughly 14 months into ozempic and sitting right at my goal weight, but my doctor wants me tapering off soon due to insurance changes hitting in January. Genuinely scared of regaining, statistically scared. A relative tried a similar medication, stopped, and put almost everything back within...

Second dose is still loading - most people feel the Tirz effect at shot 3-4 rather than the first two.

Adding a personal trainer and lifting at 6 months is the right timing - once the initial momentum is established, the muscle component changes what maintenance looks like. Tapering from 5 to 4 is the right direction when nearing goal: find the lowest dose that holds satiety without...

European availability for GLP-1 pens has been patchy - the standard Ozempic pen requires the pharma channel, which varies by country. For hardware alternatives, some people use a standard insulin pen body with separately sourced cartridges. France and Germany tend to have better stock.

Oh man, that's good to know! I was just about to re-up. I hate when they change formulas!

have health anxiety but mentioned it to my doctor and he thought it was worth a try. only side effect was weight loss and mild nausea once when i overate. lost what i needed to, on maintenance now. so glad i did this.

started iron supplements, polysaccharide 3x weekly with c. had infusions too. hematologist said lots of people, especially wls and elderly, don't make enough stomach acid for ferrous sulfate. body absorbs better every other day anyway.

I think that's someone associated with GYC. Try searching for GYC; you should find something. She posted about the website launch here somewhere.

Diluting Klow in 10ml with 1.8ml lido/epi and 8.2ml BAC water, using a longer 12.7mm needle. Still get a reaction but way less. Red welt takes days to fade. Outer thigh works best for me. Thinking of buying GHK-cu and KPV separate next cycle.

used 29g and 27g needles tons of times even after drawing through rubber stoppers for subq — no issues, barely any discomfort. but I'm bulletproof. your mileage may vary.

when I joined I only felt comfortable injecting tirzepatide because it was FDA approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro. comfort level's expanded. recently changed views on some drugs approved in Russia because they have clinical studies backing them.

don't keep vendor bac reconned for weeks — hospira's tested to 90 days, other bacs fail sterility tests. tirz freezes fine but why risk it? buy kit sizes you'll use and toss the rest, it's cheap.

OMG PinJourney, I would cry too! That's awesome. 😭

Rock it!! 🎉

I can relate to this a lot! My self-esteem has gone up significantly, and I think that's made me more engaging and fun to be around. It's been a wonderful change, and my relationship has definitely benefited as a result.
