I saw a post somewhere saying that the 'Ozempic face' thing is often BS, especially for younger people. It's more about rapid weight loss and low body fat. But they emphasized getting enough protein to support your muscles during the process!

grabbed a dexa scan, went home, measured on three scales within 20-30 mins. tech said the weight reading would be about a kg low since it doesn't track water. usually jump on scales first thing but morning vs midday numbers are different. light breakfast and coffee three hours before the scan.

Same boat. Switched from sema to mounjaro after hitting a plateau, lost 30 lbs first couple months but now at 2.5→5 doses and the cravings are back strong. Gaining instead of losing. Starting to wonder if I'm just resistant to these things.

yeah, these meds work all over your body, not just one spot. you've got room to titrate up without worrying about burning out your system. honestly just ease into it.

Congrats! Did you experience hair loss during your weight loss and that's why you shaved your head, or was it a style choice?

On my fourth shot and feeling like I got my life back. Doing calorie deficit plus 14-10 fasting and moving more. Started at 324, down to 307 now, aiming for 180. Just moved from 0.2mg to 0.4mg doses.

Looking good! Keep up the great work.

had biliopancreatic duodenal switch surgery and it nearly killed me when we figured out regular vitamins weren't enough. wasn't absorbing thiamine no matter what. got wernicke's encephalopathy and spent days in icu. lucky i could whisper what it was to a nurse in the er or it could've been much...

usually pin days and dosage. aliquot just means the vials i filter into—i use the term because i prefer filtering and wanted to distinguish between the source vials and the filtered ones.

don't cheap out on bac. vendor bac fails tests, hospira is pharma grade and tested to 90 days. saline is single-dose only, not for long-term storage. always test your peptides, filter, and use quality bac.

Just grabbed my first kit this morning after extensive forum research. Never done this before, excited to experiment. Your approach sounds smart, and open to advice from anyone who's built muscle.

IPA side effects killed it for me—hunger spike + water weight. switched to Tesa daily (2mg fasted, no weekly break) based on the Egrifta trial data. 20mg kits run under $200; full 6-month is just 2 kits.

You've got this! Keep crushing it!

Thanks for all the info, everyone. It's helpful to hear different perspectives. Salad_Strong I'm trying to get at least 70-80g of protein per day.

Great effort. I’m thrilled for you!!

I've started mixing KPV with BPC 157 because I have all sorts of joint injuries. I still don't want to do a KLOW stack due to cost issues and I have allergies with nickel and cobalt and don't want to extend that to the copper component. No feedback on the BPC 157 yet, but I'm still using the...

I'm still nervous, but the research isn't as scary as I thought. "Around 56% of people who discontinue semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) either maintain their weight or lose even more weight one year later"...

Congrats! That's awesome!

I would like to add that it may be beneficial to add probiotics. It really depends on what the issue is, but I recommend starting with yogurt first.

Way to go! 🎉
