    Ugh, these side effects!

    Hang in there! It does get better. The first couple of weeks were the worst for me. Staying hydrated helped a lot.

    GLP-1s: A New Lease on Life!

    Happy birthday!! Seventy pounds over three years and a healthier liver - that is the whole package right there. This is what this community is for. You are absolutely thriving!

    One Year of Mounjaro!

    One year is huge! The transformation you're describing - 60 pounds down with T2D control - that's not just a number, that's literally changing the trajectory. This is the kind of post that reminds me why I started. So happy for you and keep going - you're so close to that goal!

    My clothes are too big!

    Immediately. I bought two pairs of each size. 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0. I have way too many jeans now!

    GLP-1 Hindsight: What I Wish I Knew

    So true! I was super anxious about my first dose. Now, I barely even notice. Definitely agree with the 'be present' mindset. It is a process.

    My clothes are too big!

    I bought jeans again after not owning any for ages, about 20 lbs ago. Now I'm one size smaller and wearing them with a belt. I've got another pair one size down waiting in the wings!

    GLP-1 Hindsight: What I Wish I Knew

    Being thinner didn't magically solve all my problems like I thought it would. I still have to work on my mental health. In some ways, it's even harder now because I'm more aware of myself than before. I used to avoid mirrors, now I can't stop staring.

    GLP-1 Hindsight: What I Wish I Knew

    I'm a little over a month in, and the psychological stuff blindsided me. I have ADHD and OCD, and this med has wiped out my usual coping mechanisms. Turns out I had a LOT of suppressed trauma I wasn't dealing with. It's been tough and a little triggering, but also healing. Also, the nausea in...

    Ozempic advice?

    Learn to love water! Also, remember it's YOUR journey and your body will change. Don't forget your mental health! Start working out, even just walks or bodyweight exercises at home.

    Ozempic advice?

    I know a bunch of people who got help with binge eating! Get ready for a life change! Focus on protein, fiber, hydrating and moving your body. Drink electrolytes and a daily multivitamin. Track everything to get to your goals! I use a glp1 app. Don't compare yourself to others. Your body will...

    Workin' for those steps!

    I've been taking Ozempic for almost 3 months - 1mg for the last 3 weeks - and I've only dropped 2 pounds. I haven't added any exercise either. But I'm definitely experiencing a decrease in food cravings. My real problem is late-night snacking.

    Reta shelf life after mixing?

    Are you saying you found PFAS or asking what people would say if PFAS were found in any significant amount?

    Reta shelf life after mixing?

    I don't have a reference handy, LongGameLarry, but it depends on the peptide. Tirzepatide might be stable, but others aren't. Don't assume what's true for tirz is true for everything. It's more of a doomsday prep thing. If there's a nuclear war and you survive, but can't get tirzepatide, those...

    Reta shelf life after mixing?

    And that's why you don't buy 120mg Tirza! Buy vials that last for the recommended time.

    Reta shelf life after mixing?

    Janoshik says 2 years in the fridge and 10+ years in the freezer (-20 C). And 6-8 weeks after mixing. This must be the last post about storing and using the pep.
