    Ozempic and Vomiting: How Scared Should I Be?

    I'm super worried about the nausea and vomiting. I haven’t begun taking Wegovy yet. I keep reading about people saying they get sick and I'm really scared. Some people casually joke about “forceful vomiting” like it's just something that happens, which totally freaks me out. I had my...

    Reta 'pop' fizzled out?

    Yeah, I've noticed some foods I used to love just aren't doing it for me any more. I'm rotating through a few 'safe' options that don't gross me out.

    Reta 'pop' fizzled out?

    Yes! Precisely that sensation. A friend described it as having 'eagle eye vision'. I really do miss that, but perhaps it's just a matter of getting used to it! I maintained a dosage of 3mg for a while, then increased to 4mg for one week, and then decreased back to 3mg as I needed a...

    GLP meds - are they a forever thing?

    I've come to the same conclusion. No food noise for 2.5 years (was sema, now tirz) is too good. Going back scares me. It's not the "eat better, exercise, sleep quality" stuff - I've got that down - it's the physical food noise, that constant thinking about food. Thinking about not having a glp...

    GLP meds - are they a forever thing?

    I meant that the tri-agonist GLPs showed big improvements in triglycerides, blood pressure, blood sugar and A1C, plus the weight loss. Those meds are usually "for life" until something big changes... reta offers that potential change. The contraindications I understood had to do more with...

    GLP meds - are they a forever thing?

    Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar meds are also often for long-term use. Reta could let many consolidate all of that into one med.

    GLP meds - are they a forever thing?

    Stopping any good habit comes with risks. Quit exercising? You'll lose the benefits. Stop eating well? Outcomes worsen. Skimp on sleep? Sleep quality suffers. GLPs, and whatever comes next, are great tools. These articles make it seem like they're all-or-nothing. Until something better than...

    Down 50+ lbs, feeling amazing!

    You look great! My goal is also in the 130s. Any tips you can share? I've been on this for three months and only lost about 6 pounds! It's pretty discouraging. :(
