Went shopping with my closest friend and she kept pushing me toward smaller sizes but I still reached for the XL and L every time. Honestly I was probably always an L my whole life, but anything remotely snug feels unbearable so I always sized up, especially worried about shrinkage in the wash...

Made the switch not long ago. No real side effects aside from occasional mild nausea. One thing I did notice is the shot itself stings, which Ozempic never did. Curious if it's holding up as well as Ozempic did for you? Just moved up to .5mg after being on .25. Loss has slowed the last couple...

Thrilled you've found your way back to those pieces of yourself! Truly heartening to read. Definitely worth recognizing as a genuine win. And nice work getting back into whatever activities actually spark real joy and make life feel worth living. Most of my own weight gain traces back to the...

Barely any nausea starting out at 0.25. Moved to 0.5 for three months, no side effects at all. Loss stalled after the first eight weeks, but I stayed put at 0.5 anyway (down 22 lbs total). Bumped to 1.0, just did shot number four and I'm feeling seriously nauseated! Already have the 1.7 ready to...

Funny this comes up, because there's no shortage of alarming articles about GLP1s that blow rare side effects way out of proportion.

Totally normal. For me it took around four months before my body adjusted and I started enjoying those foods again. Except the really greasy ones, still not as into those honestly.

Never touching vendor-supplied bac water personally. Always feels like they mean bath water instead of actual bac water. Hospira exclusively for me.

Totally fine to push it back a bit, though might be worth waiting until the following morning rather than taking it further into the evening hours. Personally sleep terribly if the shot happens too far into the night, though everyone's different on that front.

Might be worth trying a split schedule for a bit. Half the dose day one, the rest on day four. Spreading it out that way tends to smooth over a lot of side effects compared to one big weekly shot.

Might improve somewhat with time, but surgery is likely the only real fix if getting rid of it entirely matters. Dealing with this myself too, actually have a neck procedure planned within the next six months.

Like mentioned earlier, once vials sit outside the fridge for a bit, get wiped clean, and get drawn up into a syringe, they've basically warmed to room temperature already. Only exception really is a ready-to-use syringe or injector setup someone else in this thread uses.

Tried Ozempic first and the side effects were just too much for me. Doctor moved me to Tirzepatide next, but insurance flat out wouldn't cover it. Somehow ended up finding reta instead and it's honestly been working like magic. Weight's coming off, food noise stays quiet, and I feel like moving...

Still running my usual three. Tirz roughly every week and a half, sema three days after that, cagri around day 5 following the tirz shot. Currently 10mg tirz, down from 15, holding sema at 2mg after coming down from a higher starting amount. Occasionally do 2mg cagri but can skip it a few extra...

Been trying honestly. Taking a daily stool softener plus attempted a laxative on top, neither's moving things along.
