I'd been on sema for over a year without any trouble when suddenly the cramps hit hard and I got these nasty sulfur burps. Lasted about two weeks and I was pretty worried. My friend suggested I try Metamucil and honestly it worked. Looking back I think I'd been going overboard with sushi all...

Needing an extender to comfortable, then having spare on the belt. That's proof in the seatbelt.

curious thing to track but yeah, makes sense. basically a visual log of your progress without needing the scale.

It depends how you mix it. If you reconstitute a 10mg vial with 1ml of water, then 10 units on an insulin syringe equals 1mg. So 3 units would be 0.3mg. Start low! Less than 500mcg to see how you react.

That's smart. It's easy to get sucked into the hype, but some risks aren't worth it. I'm generally healthy, so I'm willing to roll the dice a bit more.

We aren't going to do all your research for you. 😉 Also, most of us aren't doctors... Read the studies, like SURMOUNT by EL, and check the number of test subjects. They list side effects and severity. List your concerns and ask members. A racing heart might not worry you or be fatal (according...

Honestly, nobody knows for sure. It's still in trials.

I totally agree. Lots of meds have side effects, but they're worth it. I'm just saying GLP-1s are so new and positive that it's hard to believe there won't be some unknown side effects eventually. Maybe they're miracle drugs, but I'm still waiting for the bad news.

We joke so we don't cry. We all know there's some risk, even with prescribed meds. There's always a catch, we just don't know what it'll be yet.

I'm worried about some rare forms of cancer popping up.

There's always some left in the pen. You could try to extract it with a regular insulin syringe if you want, but it's probably not even a tenth of a dose.

You're golden! I've been on this med for years. Sometimes I don't feel a thing; sometimes it burns a bit.

Way to go conquering your fear! Sounds like you nailed it!

I'm curious about this as well!

Sometimes it can be hard to notice the changes yourself. I've noticed that taking progress pics helps a ton! My bf showed me some old pics and I was shocked at the difference. Definitely recommend!

Wow, that's awesome!

Congratulations! Your hard work is showing and you look fantastic! I'm also losing slowly, which is frustrating. I always try to remember I’m progressing, even if it's a slow plateau.

Great job!!!

I totally get the mental health boost. I'm way less stressed than I used to be. It's like food was my only coping strategy, and now I don't need it. I get a little dopamine from other things now.

You should be so pleased with all you've achieved! I've been on another med for a year and a half and I've dropped 115 pounds. I'm only about 25 lbs away from my target weight so I am very happy with myself.. I'm smaller than I was when I was only 28 years old before I had my 2 boys who are age...
