Down 133 and off seven prescriptions. Side effects settle - usually within a few weeks.

Privilege and blessing point to different conversations about access and gratitude.

GLP-1 GI at the outer edge includes bile acid changes from rapid loss and motility slowdown. Worth a GI doc visit if it's been more than a couple weeks.

Not really. It's been used for over 20 years for diabetics.

Yeah, I do worry a bit. But like others have said, the number of serious diseases and health problems directly linked to being overweight is way scarier.

Welcome to the semaglutide forum! Just a quick reminder: let's keep the discussion focused on FDA-approved versions of semaglutide. No buying or selling meds here, not even in DMs. If anyone tries to sell you something, don't respond—they aren't supported by this group. New to sema? Check out...

Before GLP-1s, I was prediabetic and had symptoms. An eye exam revealed high IOP and blurry vision. Scary to think how bad it could have gotten if I hadn't addressed it.

Well, all the GLP-1 meds work on the same GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide *might* activate it more strongly, and Reta possibly has less nausea because of the GIP action, but they all hit the same receptor. So, logically, they're all risky for NAION, even if it hasn't been observed yet. Semaglutide's...

I'm a little concerned about the younger members who are less overweight jumping on these meds. It seems like a huge risk. If you're older or severely obese/diabetic, the benefits likely outweigh the downsides, but for younger, healthier people with a slightly elevated bmi... the risk/reward is...

👏

You deserve to feel great. Congrats!

There are some variations out already, you can find them on a telegram channel. I've seen some of the same types of labels on different forums.

The research is based on the initial finding in Gila monster saliva, but the peptides are made in labs. It wasn't a weird question; it just wasn't worded very clearly.

I'm much happier knowing they're made in a lab now, haha.

You're super pretty, but I can't tell which pic is before and which is after. I don't see the huge weight difference you mentioned. Maybe some better pics?

I think you're doing really well! Don't stress too much about comparing yourself to others. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Be proud of what you've achieved and give yourself a break.

I was taking 10 mg tirz, then lowered it to 7.5 mg the same week I started 2 mg Reta. Zero side effects. It was absolutely fine. I wasn't stacking for a lengthy amount of time, only while tapering down on Tirz. I believe I stacked for maybe 5-6 weeks, while increasing Reta and decreasing Tirz...

Hey everyone, I found this video that seemed pretty legit. It talked about how to get rid of visceral fat, and it actually cited some studies. Worth a watch, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt6WaTBnj7E Basically, it says you need to do around 45 mins of moderate cardio a couple of...

I was on it for a few months and I'm off it now because of the shortages. I was shocked at how much easier it is to exercise now. It's weird, it wasn't fatigue, it was just low energy. I'm planning on going back on it as soon as I am able to get my prescription filled again. Taking a break and...

I started ozempic in February and I've been so tired. I used to hike all the time and now I can barely get off the couch. I can handle the other side effects but I don't know if this is going to work for me.
