The sulfur burps came back! Woo! lol, weird thing to celebrate, but it just means the tirz is doing its thing even though I'm probably not sticking to a perfect glp1-diet since I'm traveling. The 5mg every three days routine seems steady and effective. Zero cravings or food thoughts right now...
No shift at all. Has to be done using the larger vials for this to work. I'm running 8mg, mixed using an R50, technically 56mg of real volume, into 3ml of BAC. So I draw 43 units, or .43ml, to hit that 8mg mark.
Eight weeks running tirz Sundays and sema Thursdays. Kicked off on sema alone back in early April. Titrating up like recommended brought brutal nausea, so my doctor suggested tirz, but since I already had sema stocked up and didn't want to waste it, I ended up running both. Slowly shifting from...
Had the sulfur burps myself for around two weeks before they cleared up, same as pretty much every other symptom that's popped up (aside from occasional constipation still hanging around). Just hang in there, it does pass eventually.
This is my second run at GLP-1s, since I made this exact mistake the first time around. Had zero muscle left to burn calories by the end, and half the weight came right back within four months. Totally different approach this time. Now people compliment my physique instead of just the weight...
A popular science podcast covered that entire market in an episode recently. Cited research that tested samples from one single order and found wildly inconsistent drug levels across vials, one even contained lead. Definitely worth being cautious.
Oh, sweater dresses sound wonderful, honestly forgot those were even a thing! Right there with you on the age front too. Knee high boots paired with sweater dresses sounds like a great combo. Thanks for the idea!
Month one on Ozempic here, also taking Wellbutrin, no interactions showing up so far. Mental health's actually been solid, noticing less anxiety and less depression lately too.
Never even considered this. Added klow into the mix and the food noise definitely ramped up faster than expected. Digestion's still crawling along slow though.
Three shots in now at 0.25. Honestly assumed placebo effect at first, but nope, this stuff is genuinely wild. Gone from massively overeating to barely getting enough down.
Starvation mode is mostly a myth honestly, and running a severe deficit for two and a half straight years just wouldn't square with holding steady weight. Doesn't add up scientifically or logically.
Wait, by eating right do you mean just watching calories? Also I'm about halfway through the 0.5 dose and haven't noticed anything yet, when does it usually start showing on the scale?
Thank you! Been mostly lucky honestly. Some looseness on the stomach and a bit on the arms, but nothing severe.
Hoping some training helps tighten things up or builds enough muscle to fill the arms back out.
Good luck on your own journey!
Go back down to .25. The whole point is staying at the lowest dose that's actually doing something. Climb too fast and you'll feel awful constantly, then have nowhere left to go once your body adjusts since you'll already be maxed out.
Same thing happened to me. First 40 lbs came off at .25...
Hi, I've used Mounjaro a couple times before, but this round hit me hard, awful body aches, my stomach was so bloated, plus nausea on top of it. Wishing everyone luck with this med, but just be ready, the side effects aren't always mild.
Paid around 175 for a 20mg batch plus another 50 for shipping from overseas, assuming that's the all-in cost, worth it to me given the reduced customs risk on my end honestly.
Saw a video breaking this down. Basically if protein intake and exercise fall off, you lose a lot of muscle, and that's what drives the sunken ozempic face and flattened glutes people talk about.
