If you don't know about the Ninja Creami, now is the time to discover.

So, you're telling me you didn't feel the plastic thing wasn't actually going in?

I completely agree! This forum is something else. The positivity and support are unmatched; I never would have found this anywhere else. ❤️

So, I've been taking what I thought was a semaglutide medication for the past two months. I've managed to drop about 11 pounds. But I had a revelation tonight - I haven't been injecting it right at all. I kept thinking I wasn't doing it correctly. I finally went searching on this forum and...

Clear protein drinks with fruit are easy to get down.

It's comforting to be around others who understand the lived experience of obesity.

It's systemic, so the stomach will work just fine.

I didn't inject directly into my knee. Instead, I injected in the thigh above the injured knee and also in my stomach. Since it's systemic, the spot doesn't really matter. However, there are a couple of little studies that showed spot injections might be a little more effective. So, I split the...

Has anyone noticed people treating them differently since losing weight? I'm curious about others' experiences with that.

I hurt my knee doing jiu jitsu (39 here). I began taking bpc 157... 500 mcg twice a day. Once when I woke up and once before bed. Did that for about a month. In the first week, minor pains disappeared plus a lot of inflammation. Back to sparring by the end of the month. I keep bpc 157 on hand...

I'm in the market for new belts myself. I'm on the last hole and still hike up my pants when walking. There's a gap of several inches at the waist as well, so new pants are likely needed. I'm a middle-aged guy who's dropped from roughly 175 to 150 over four months, thanks to Ozempic for T2...

That's over a 35kg difference! You've dropped more than 30% of your initial body weight. Amazing!

The general consensus appears to be that you should start with a small dose (0.5 mg) to check tolerance. But, be aware that with such a low dose, she may experience adverse effects without any 'benefits'. There are several websites that offer dosing schedules. Search the forum; you'll find a few...

I'm not answering any more questions until O-O-Ozempic says whether his wife has been consulted.

Congratulations!

Even if nothing fatal happens, it's still a bad scenario if she doesn't know about it. I am all for a clear statement like 'She wants to look into this and I'm helping her by gathering info' right at the beginning of discussions like these.

How long did it take you?

Um, AntAF has a point. O-O-Ozempic, can you confirm that your wife is aware of this, has consented, and you're just doing some preliminary research for her to review? Because I'm suddenly concerned that might not be the case.

Probably! I'm not sure there's a real definition of skinny fat, but it's likely a lot of people on these meds end up there after losing significant weight. Building muscle helps!

I lost about 80 pounds and have tons of loose skin. In Canada, a panniculectomy is covered. I'm paying extra to have a fleur de lis procedure at the same time. Ask your doctor for a referral to a plastic surgeon.
