Can't seem to, ya know, GO! 😩

Seen lots of people say it didn't work until they went higher, so you're not alone. Scale bouncing and bloating are so discouraging especially when you think you're doing everything right. Any appetite changes at all?
 
Third 0.25 dose just now, also managed to poke myself with the back of the needle after. Oops. Not weighing at home, only at the doc's office. Side effects are mild diarrhea, food noise dropped some but not totally quiet. Cravings for chocolate raisins are way less though.
 
Sorry they screwed you. Back in the day Brello would just believe whatever dose you said you were on. I told them 15mg of Tirz and used their Rx with another provider that needed one.
 
triceps at gym tonight and got sharp elbow pain. been on BPC-157 and TB-500 few weeks, helped with some stuff but this is new. wondering if i should up my BPC-157 dose from twice daily or my TB-500 from monday and thursday. BPC is 250mcg, TB is 0.5mg.
 
My experience: fasting completely on the day with the heaviest suppression—two days post-shot for me—breaks stalls hard. Keep adjusting my goal lower. At 145 now, sitting at 154, 54F, 5'7". Slower every week, about half a pound now. On 0.5mg.
 
You're not in a race, right? 😊 Lower dose, simpler stack for as long as it works—that's what most of us agree on. Plus it's cheaper. Diet, exercise, and sleep matter more than chasing higher doses. Less is more here.
 
The hard pellet phase is almost a rite of passage on GLP-1s. Hydration is the main fix - most people find constipation is directly tied to not drinking enough. Miralax or similar osmotic laxative gets things moving without cramping. Increasing fiber helps but slower to take effect. 72 hours is the usual threshold where most people reach for something.
 
Staying consistent at a tolerable dose beats a higher number that keeps making you stop. The GI load at the ceiling dose ends up costing more time than the lower stable option saves.
 
The 4-week pre-surgery pause is longer than most anesthesiologists require - the standard is 1-2 weeks to reduce aspiration risk from slowed gastric emptying. Post-surgery restart timing usually depends on tolerating oral intake without nausea. Constipation layered on top of surgical recovery is uncomfortable but manageable with osmotic laxatives and hydration.
 
Betaine and TMG can cause GI distension independent of constipation - it's a methylation load issue rather than a motility issue, which is why Miralax doesn't address it. Stopping the supplement for a few days is usually the fastest way to confirm the source; if distension clears and the constipation pattern stays, that tells you which problem to solve first.
