I love hearing this for you! Keep up the great work! \m/

LLMs told me 5ml reconstitute and 1ml inject equals 1mg but if 0.2-0.25 is the right amount then 1ml seems overkill. Is there a real diff in how much you dilute it?

If it's loose skin, shapewear might help smooth things out, but it won't really 'suck' anything in. You might want to look into options for skin tightening if it bothers you that much. But also, congrats on the weight loss! That's HUGE!

Yep. It delays gastric emptying; what you ate the day before, or even two days before, can still be hanging around and cause issues. I had terrible pain and vomiting a few days after increasing my dose because I tried to eat “normally” while traveling. Never again!

I've also heard that compounded semaglutide is a more affordable option. Might be worth checking out if cost is a concern. I saw the discussion here: https://www.another forum

Are you trying to hold in fat or loose skin?

Ozempic isn’t a magic bullet. You have to do your part as well.

My doctor prescribed it as .5 mg as well, but with instructions to start at .25 mg for the first four weeks. I think the packaging also mentions that. I cannot imagine beginning at .5 mg. Double check the directions with your doctor. Some don’t give good instructions when prescribing unfortunately.

Anything you listed there would make a person feel ill. Technically it isn’t a side effect.

I agree, definitely speak with your doctor. The dosage might be too much to begin with. In the meantime, try some electrolyte drinks. Bone broth can be really helpful too!

I pre-filled my reta into a NovoPen 4 and I'm taking an old Mounjaro box and a prescription from half a year ago. Everything goes in a 3D printed case, then a cooler in my checked luggage. If asked, I say it's my prescribed Mounjaro.

When traveling, I put the exact amount of peptide I need in a fresh, sterile vial. Then I toss it at the end. That way, my main supply isn't exposed to temp changes. For injectables that don't need refrigeration, I keep them labeled. I always carry meds; I never check them.

I've heard good things about collagen supplements, but I'm not sure how much they actually help. I am starting to research body contouring procedures, because my arms are starting to resemble bat wings.

I'm down about 100 pounds in less than a year. My biggest worry now is that my lipedema fat is more noticeable and really painful. My upper body is getting lean, but my thighs and hips are bumpy. I'm also concerned about loose skin.

Someone I haven't seen since last spring told me I looked fantastic today, and they didn't even mention weight, which I found interesting. I've dropped about 25 pounds in the last 5 months, but nobody had said anything, which I thought was weird. I still don't see a huge difference myself, but...

Yeah, I saw some stuff about Dihexa potentially affecting c-MET expression, which could be a problem for cancer cells. I also read something about uncontrolled neurogenesis in lab studies. Definitely proceed with caution.

I heard a rumor that generic versions of Ozempic might arrive in Canada pretty soon. Apparently, someone forgot to pay a patent fee! Could be as early as next year.

The catch with these 'tariffs' is that they announce big numbers but then give out a ton of exceptions anyway.

Wow! Huge congrats on your amazing progress! Happy holidays!

You look fantastic! Huge congrats on all your hard work and success!
