Makes total sense why they tell you to stop before surgery, everything in your gut just slows way down. Went through a stretch where I basically despised food this past week. Dosed out 3mg last night by clicks. If the overstuffed feeling sticks around I'll drop back to 2.5.

Spent four months on sema with barely anything to show for it. Moved over to tirz, climbed to 5mg across three weeks, still nothing noticeable. Kept seeing people here stacking reta with tirz, so figured let's actually get this working. Went straight to 10mg tirz, then added 5mg reta three days...

The best part is not having food on my mind constantly anymore, finally feels like I'm a normal person. Used to eat way more than the people around me, and these days it barely crosses my mind. About 20 pounds down since starting rybelsus back in late June. Still got some soft fat hanging around...

MeltMom Not to be rude, but did you even read that before posting? It never claims to raise your metabolism. Greater fullness, slower gastric emptying and less sugar output from the liver all suppress hunger, which cuts calorie intake. If you'd rather dispute the science, look it up at length...

Diabetes is why I take it, and it's a lifesaver for that. Was weight loss something I wanted or needed? Yes, and carrying it made blood sugar control really hard. Still, until sema I honestly had no idea what fullness or satisfaction feels like. Watching others quit eating while I felt nothing...

Seen studies pointing out that reta and tirz from different sources can vary a lot in actual active ingredient, sometimes loaded with fillers like b12 instead. So a labeled 5mg dose could really be anywhere from 2 to 6mg depending on where it came from. Not against peptides at all, just saying...

slow and low really is the way. i dropped 50 lbs staying at 2.5 for about six months, went from 190 down to 140. honestly bumping up to 5.0 barely changed anything for me.

Went from 263 down to 218 right now. Clothes are just starting to feel loose on me, kind of a trip.

Honestly the scales are mostly useless. Buy one if you still have plenty to lose, and a second when you get near goal. My plan is to do a scan each 10 kg.

Whoever filled the vial that feels stronger may have put in a little extra, which shifts the concentration after reconstitution. It comes up now and then in other posts. So, especially when reconstituting, check the paperwork (if you trust it) to see if vials run slightly over or under filled...

I've tried it both subq and on the skin, mixing my own 3% topical from cosmetic grade powder, and both work well for me. Since roughly April I've been injecting it, started at 2mg a day with breaks and now its 3mg a day with breaks. My skin feels velvety overall. Before starting i took super...

Matches what a few people said. Hunger lives in the body, while food noise is more like hunting for something. Real hunger comes with signs from the body, such as a hollow stomach or dropping energy, and almost anything ordinary would do. Once I eat, it fades. Food noise is more of a constant...

ok so i know plenty of people say you have to stay on this forever, fine. but say someone doesnt want that. i started at 420 lbs and got down to 240. then i sat there for eighteen months, meals were clean but the deficit was too small to lose more, just enough to hold. now ive started reta. lets...

Started this medication April 3rd, and here we are, July 7th, finally past the first 20 pounds. Starting weight before sema was 187 a year postpartum, sema starting weight was 169, and now sitting at 149. Before this, the mid 150s were basically a trap, weeks or months of stalling or even...

Hey, been at 5mg from April onwards and the noise around food is loud again. I can eat a lot more now and fullness hits late. What did change lately is weight training, and august gave me zero kg lost. Is it the workouts causing this or should i go up a dose??

Hello. Agree completely with what's being said here. Dropped 141 pounds since December 16, 2024 on Mounjaro. Currently at 15mg and roughly 10 pounds from my target. Genuinely feeling my best in years at this point. Especially appreciate not dealing with rude remarks or poor treatment tied to...

Same story here, my mounjaro's stopped delivering results. Went from barely any appetite and total silence around food to being able to eat nonstop again with cravings hitting constantly.

Getting coverage is genuinely rare, count yourself fortunate there. Beyond that, plenty of primary doctors just haven't kept up with the newer research on these medications and still cling to outdated attitudes, so they'll only prescribe for confirmed diabetes. Telehealth's a different story...

Makes total sense, that final stretch always feels the hardest. Did you notice a big jump in appetite suppression once you hit the 1mg mark?

having sema on hand and knowing it worked before is actually the best position to be in when stalled on reta. the stack approach versus sema solo is a real question - adding the second mechanism tends to push things past a plateau better than switching. what dose of sema are you thinking and how...
