Semaglutide was brutal for me—couldn't get out of bed for three days. Switched to Tirzepatide and the side effects almost disappeared. Switch if you can.

Didn't feel much till I hit the higher doses—varies for everyone though. Mounjaro has that gip piece on top of the glp1 side, so you'd probably need more ozempic to match what you had. But also think about adding other support like your care team suggests.

My first shot was rough too. Had someone guide my hand through it, and honestly that mental trick really helped. Way easier after that first time.

Thanks for the reassurance. I was worried the muscle loss stuff might be worse than it actually is based on what I read.

On Wegovy 2.4 now in year two. No side effects at all. I eat various things but dreading finding my personal trigger food eventually.

food triggers used to wreck me—hives, anaphylaxis, the works. even mild reactions would leave bumps on my neck for weeks. plus scalp stuff that hurt. since starting this med and staying careful, barely had a flare. one slip-up triggered it once but that's it.

just finished 16 weeks of that other med. skin improved so fast my wife asked what i changed. nothing—just sunscreen and water rinse. dental hygienist and barber both noticed.

me and my wife switched from name brand 5mg straight to grey 5mg, no real difference except the price 😉 grey tends to be slightly more potent, vials often run 31-36mg when labeled 30mg.

Love seeing posts where progress just builds steady. That's the real goal. My own journey via Zappy Health has been gradual but I'm staying the course.

That's interesting about the sermorelin. I'll have to look into that. Anyone have experience with it?

we honestly don't know. that's why so many of us are on klow - because we don't know if it helps or not but don't dare stop in case it's way worse without it. eventually everyone's got a freezer full and no clue if it's working cause we don't have a twin doing the same stuff without it.

Yeah, I started in September and lost about the same as you, but my starting weight was heavier, so there's almost no visual difference. NSVs are rare. One shirt fits better. Exercise is a bit easier, but maybe because I'm not starving myself. It's discouraging, but I'm happy it's working at...

Yeah, I'm already thinking about how I'll need to replace my pants soon. Good problem to have, though!

I have to take two extra-strength Ex-Lax pills to go. But to be fair, I was only pooping twice a week even before starting this medication.

I'm steady at 0.5 - 0.8kg a week. As long as it's still going down and not up, I'm happy. Was hoping for 1kg a week, though. Starting month 3 today at 7.5mg. Hoping 7.5 is my sweet spot.

Miralax is my go-to.

I was curious and decided to check how much I was dishing out on food and eating out before and after starting on Ozempic back in June of '24. I knew I was spending less, but the actual numbers surprised me. I can't believe how much I was mindlessly spending on everything before. This is just...

If you are unsure, then capsules are the way to go. I can't stress that enough. Less fuss.

Just get the pills, man. Way easier.

Agree with this.
