Just on Reta? Anything else you're taking?

Agree with Yuki_56, don't try to plan too far ahead. You can't predict your response, any side effects, etc. I'm curious where you heard you don't need to go above 2 mg / week. I'm not convinced 2 mg is even a therapeutic dose. It's not that you *should* increase beyond it if 2 mg is working...

Looking amazing! And I'm loving that bag! Every time I see someone with it, I want it more. Congrats on your journey towards a healthier you! ❤️

I was hoping I'd be skinny by June 😭

I might be doing my Tirzepatide thing too intensely. I started at 23 stone in July and now I'm 19 stone 8lbs in October. That's over 3 stone! I'm on 5mg. I'm like you, I don't eat till afternoon, like 2-4PM then I eat again later. Usually it's veg, chicken and rice. I heard your liver processes...

If someone is having issues with nausea, ondansetron (Zofran) can be prescribed to help with that.

I agree with your thoughts and not mixing Tirz/Reta. I think you should increase your Tirz after you're sure you've plateaued. It's like taking meds for a headache. Do you take baby aspirin, one regular strength or two? Or if you need a drink to unwind, is it one shot of tequila or three? See...

I'm curious, has anyone looked into how long peptides stay good for? I have some stuff in the freezer that's been there for a few years. Wondering if it's still effective.

That's awesome! Happy for you!

Is this a new irregular heartbeat for you? If it's a new issue, you need to get it checked out ASAP. If you feel unwell, especially with breathlessness or chest pain, call for medical assistance immediately – don't drive yourself. If you feel okay, schedule a doctor's appointment for an ECG...

LOL! Definitely a NSV (Non-Scale Victory)! Congrats, New_Pal!

Someone shared this chart on a popular forum. I can't vouch for its accuracy, but it suggests that mixing GLP-1s with other substances is a bad idea.

That's interesting. I've wondered about this myself. I assumed keeping the level consistent would sustain the effects. But for you, the bigger dose makes an impact that lasts all those days... Do you experience any side effects?

I'm loving this too 😀😀 Down 3 sizes, lost about 50 pounds, still get an appetite but without the constant food cravings, no other issues. Wish I'd started sooner 🤩

That's such a fantastic achievement! I'm so proud of you. Keep up the amazing work!

For those having GI issues, I saw a recommendation for enteric coated peppermint oil capsules, supposedly they move bacteria out of the small bowel to treat IBS

Oh, totally! There are a few things happening. 1. Slower digestion, like your doc said. 2. Your own unique gut bacteria. 3. How it is working with different foods. So, the main thing is usually gas and burps. It is often set off by foods, but it’s hard to know exactly what bugs each person has...

I started at 297 pounds, and it was a slow decline at first. Then, it clicked, and the weight came off week after week. There were periods when nothing seemed to be happening, but the trend kept going down. Staying consistent is key.

It totally disappeared for me. I've been on Trulicity on and off for like two years, and I don't have any side effects anymore. I don't even get sick when I have a drink, which is kinda a bummer...
