Reta works differently than the others. Weaker appetite suppression which people overlook, especially bodybuilders chasing muscle. The binding strength matters - less means less food noise control but maybe more metabolic freedom for building. Depends on your goal. Excess fat changes the equation.

A friend of mine had to stop sema due to gallbladder problems... Seems to be a thing? She had crazy stomach pain and found out she had gallstones. Switched to Zepbound and feels much better!

Awesome!

I've heard that collagen supplements can help improve skin elasticity. Also, staying super hydrated is key! It might be worth looking into red light therapy too, although I haven't tried it myself. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the helpful info! It sounds like there is a wide range of experiences. Hoping to see positive changes soon.

You look great! Congrats on your surgery decision. You're perfect for it and it will change your life!

I'm using Reta, started at 1mg. I felt a small change to my appetite after maybe 3-4 days, but I really noticed around week 2. I upped it to 2mg in week 2.

For those of you who have tried GLP-1s, about how long did it take before you started experiencing a change in your appetite? I just started back up at 1.5mg, one injection, and I'm curious when I should expect to feel different. What was your timeline?

That chair story is hilarious! But seriously, congrats on reversing your pre-diabetes and sleep issues. That's incredible and shows how much hard work you've put in alongside the meds! It is so awesome that you feel better!

You look incredible. Way to go! :clap:

Woohoo!

Yeah, that's a big thing. If you are just using it, it's ok to be at room temperature for a few weeks. But if the power goes out for a long time you'd want to store it in a cooler with ice packs. I saw someone talking about this on the other forum when Florida had those storms a while back.

Just a heads up that if you're traveling by air, many airlines require medications to be in their original packaging. So, keep that in mind.

Hey everyone, Since starting on Ozempic, I really felt like I needed a good travel case. None of what was for sale, or the free 3D models I found, quite did what I needed. So, I ended up designing my own. It holds the pen itself, four needles (it even works with longer aftermarket needles)...

I know exactly how you feel. The beginning can be tough. Just stick with it and remember why you started. You'll get there!

Looking good!

As someone who's been on Mounjaro for about a month, this post is incredibly inspiring! You look fantastic, and I'm rooting for you to reach the finish line!

Didn't Denmark just have a huge economic boom because of those weight loss drugs? I saw something about it.

Oh, fair point. Can't tell from the box.

Honestly, I like the word 'jab' better. And if people would just jab the needle in instead of trying to gently slide it in, there'd be less pain and less need for those tiny needles.
