This guy's my favorite on here. A nurse with 30 years said nobody in diabetes care swaps needles between every injection. You stick a needle on, use it till the pen's empty, pitch both. I even see the supply packs — 10 cartridges, 10 needles. Maybe he's onto something.

generic version in india launched and people are fear-mongering about safety, probably protecting margins since good generic costs like 25 bucks a month. worth it for weight loss with gym and high protein? would love input on whether to go that route.

Protein's the key when appetite's gone. Met my protein needs with shakes even when I couldn't eat — stopped hair and muscle loss. Starving yourself because you're not hungry is malnutrition. Different thing entirely.

appetite suppression hits around dose 2 or 3 but everyone's different. drink tons of water, get protein and fiber in even when you're not hungry. stay active and take progress pics early — scale can lie, pictures don't. use 32 gauge needles if you can, barely feel them. your journey's unique so...

Metamucil might help—people use it a lot to slow digestion and feel fuller longer. Someone recommended it to me before I started my med and it's been solid.

trazodone's non-addictive and worked for me for 5 years, got 5-7 hours most nights. easy to get online. dsip and epithalon did nothing. cjc-1295 without dac and ipamorelin helped a little.

T2D for 25 months now. my A1C dropped from 9 to 5.6, lost 11% body weight on ozempic. T2Ds show less weight loss than others apparently but I'm happy with it. psyllium fiber helps a ton — 2 teaspoons daily keeps things moving.

Quit obsessing over peptide stuff I can't control. Now I'm figuring out how many freezers run on one circuit.

If you have insurance covering PT, your therapist can teach safe basic moves. Being sedentary long-term means you probably need guidance to avoid overworking some muscles while underworking others. Aquatic exercise classes are great too - easier on joints but water resistance gives real bang...

Been on this two years. Only issue is intermittent bowel stuff. A1c went down from 6 to 4.5. Lost about 40, not huge for someone tiny like me. Food noise gone completely. Sometimes forgot meals. Two mg currently, food's just whatever.

Hey SnackSet, do you *have* to stay on it forever? That's kinda scary. I'm hoping to lose weight, get healthy, then get off it.

I've found I need to eat *more* on this medication than I did before! And I need to eat different stuff, like more protein, less carbs. You should set up a plan now. I wish I had started eating more protein from day one.

I'm finding it really hard to eat enough overall. I'm losing weight, which is the point, but feeling weak and tired. Anyone else experience this? I'm wondering if I should just force myself to eat more, even when I'm not hungry.

My partner told people I was taking a weightloss med even after I asked them not to. Now I feel like everyone's watching me. Is this normal?

I understand the nausea, and it's frustrating when a lot of my favorite healthy foods suddenly seem unappetizing. I'm only on .8 mg and my food is extremely bland right now.

Did you lift weights for all your main body parts and eat enough protein?

Sounds like an advertisement for a particular food tracking app.

I started 3 years ago and have always done my belly. I rarely feel the shot. I usually take it out of the fridge the night before. I've been at my goal weight since last May.

You probably need to work out more and get more protein, I heard that helps.
