A year before trying GasX is such a relatable timeline for figuring out the simple fixes. Gas and bloating clearing up while nausea stays is exactly how people describe the pattern. Most common toolkit addition by the time they figure it out.
That comeback is perfect. Most people asking intrusive questions about your weight loss are not curious - they are uncomfortable. A line that turns the question back usually ends that dynamic faster than explaining yourself ever would.
The 250mcg output is right for a 12mg/2mL vial - that is the standard math on that concentration. For weight loss projections with Reta, individual responses vary too much for a calculator to be useful. Tracking your own trend over 4-6 weeks gives more reliable data than any formula.
Bold can backfire if your body hasn't held a baseline yet. I crept up 1.25 -> 2.5 -> 4 over 10 weeks instead of jumping monthly. Side effects stayed mild and I kept the appetite suppression curve intact. The folks I see rebound hardest are the ones who escalated fast then crashed back trying to...
get the pfizer one from hospira. they're fda and health canada approved, made in cgmp-certified sterile facilities. purple label = usa, the other = canada. both have facilities and the only difference is the label.
started eating on a schedule to help. easy to reach bedtime having only eaten like 500 cals. now i eat something every 2 hours even if i'm not hungry, protein shakes at breakfast and late afternoon, balanced dinner. lost over 100 pounds doing it.
switched from 2.5 to 5 with zero issues and stayed there 20 weeks. moving from 5 to 7.5 was rough though, so i dialed back and then alternated doses before gradually going full-time at the higher level.
weight loss comes in spurts and then i hold water during my cycle so it's hard to tell. first noticed my bracelet loose, then my rings fit, then saw my old face in the mirror. down 15 lbs in 7 weeks and 2 lbs a week is my personal limit
on my 4th dose this week, doing 0.25 wednesday evenings. no noticeable side effects unless i eat bad. fiber gummies am and pm, at least 48oz water, protein focus. junk food triggers nausea immediately.
shot wednesday night. thursday: hunger dropped, stomach felt off, super tired. by end of day food just sitting there, muscles aching. overnight was rough, stomach didn't settle. friday morning, barely ate anything, just coffee. still a bit scared.
progesterone drops first before estrogen usually, and a lot of women sleep way better on the oral micronized stuff alone. weight loss tanks your whole balance and it's known even young female lifters go on hrt when cutting hard. hope you find something that works.
It's normal to gain some weight starting creatine. One week in and it lines up but you won't keep gaining—be patient and it'll drop again unless you overeat. Stop saying 'weight loss.' Focus on 'fat loss' and keeping or building muscle. Never worth it to lose lean mass.
yep, overfill. australia had only vials for over a year, then KwikPen launched and everyone complained it wasn't working. turns out 65 units from a 5mg vial is closer to 6.5 or 7.5mg—people dropped a dose without knowing. don't take overfill unless you're intentionally upping your dose.
I've even heard of people having trouble with their toenails when they get to a certain point lol. Congrats to everyone on any progress. Keep it going you guys!
