60 pounds across two medications is what gets it done.

Straight acetic acid at 0.6% is a legitimate reconstitution solvent - the antimicrobial properties of BAC aren't necessary if you're going through the vial within a few weeks, and some people find the absence of preservatives reduces injection site irritation.

Tachycardia and stronger palpitations in the first two days post-injection is a known pattern - vasodilation and the autonomic shift overlap at that window. BP improvement is the more consistent long-term signal; the palpitation response typically narrows by the second or third injection.

That old thread over there covers sterile water sourcing pretty well. Laptop view is way better than mobile for these forum deep-dives.

Honestly, splitting to 10mg twice a week is the only thing I'd try — you've been down this road longer. Hope the reset works. Depends on where you're at too. If you're still losing or far from goal, a break might kill momentum and you'd add something or switch instead. In maintenance it's different.

On Wegovy for 3 months now, down 40 lbs. Mostly good but figuring out digestion stuff. Weird thing though—when I sit with my legs crossed I get a sore knee now because there's less padding! Also my butt hurts faster on hard chairs. Has anyone else had weird side effects like that?

Lost about 10 lbs over 4 months then nothing since november. I'm at max dose for off-label here in canada and switching to mounjaro next. Was mainly trying it for the anti-inflammatory stuff with my endometriosis but that's wearing off over time.

recon into bigger vials. i go 5ml or 10ml when combining, or when i add a ton of bac water to other stuff.

Interesting. I hadn't considered that. I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

It looks like it's been stored well and it’s clear, so you're probably right, it's probs fine. Regarding the 5mg, I was moved to a higher dose, so that's not a problem. But I did go down in dose for a reason. Maybe I'll just wait the week?

Don't second guess yourself because you are closer to your goal than others. Everyone's path is different. If what you've been doing is failing, find a tool that works. I did all the right things for ages with no change before asking about a medication. I wish I'd asked sooner.

I can't explain to you how horrible my food noise used to be. Years of constant obsession with eating. This med really helped.

I'm 5'6" and was 178 when I started. It's been about 9 months and I've lost 30 pounds. I hit my goal weight around 7 months and now I microdose every couple weeks to maintain. I really didn't want to try this med, but I'd tried all my old tricks with no results. My doctor really encouraged me...

Okay, so a bit of a mess here. Due to shifting doses, I had some older pens chilling in the fridge. My husband grabbed one without checking and I injected it. Turns out, it was 7.5mg when I'm now on 10mg. I thought, no biggie, I'll just add a 5mg pen to reach 12.5mg (since I was on 15mg before...

I noticed it too when I bumped up to 1mg, but it would usually only happen at the end of the week. So, I split the dose and inject twice a week now (half each time) and it's helped a lot. Back to normal now.

I liked the chocolate and vanilla 'Dare Life' ones, but they cost too much. I just tried the ones from that members-only warehouse and their vanilla is great. No weird taste, and I'll keep buying them.

Anyone else using protein drinks since starting their GLP-1 med? I'm trying to up my protein since I am not eating as much and looking for recommendations that won't leave me feeling bloated or with other digestive woes.

You look great!

Wow, congrats! You look great!
