Why stop altogether instead of just going to a lower, maintenance dose?

Just wore this tiny leather motorcycle jacket I bought in Florence years ago to church and felt amazing—tall, lean, all that. Haven't felt like that in forever. Still tired though, gotta build muscle back up. After maybe 10 more pounds I'll drop to maintenance. This stuff is wild. New life at 48.

Will your insurance cover Mounjaro or Zepbound? I just switched from Ozempic to Mounjaro because Ozempic stopped suppressing my appetite. They're all effective at lowering blood sugar.

Nice! It's good to hear some positive stories about life after GLP-1s.

India Mart is like Alibaba—just a clearing house. Found a ton of Cerebrolysin there and one message triggered 6 vendors on WhatsApp all selling the same thing. Prices all over the place. Went with KMOverseas though for their range.

added metformin in february and it did absolutely nothing for weight loss. i'm not diabetic so it was just to break the plateau. keeping it because there might be other benefits and it's cheap, but want to look more into the muscle loss and b12 stuff first.

I agree about the pictures! It's like I still see the 'old me' in the mirror sometimes. But then I look at photos from a few months ago and I'm shocked. Keep taking those comparison pics, Witty_Log!

Guys, does anyone else feel like they'll be on these meds FOR-EV-ER? I swear, I'd get a second job if my insurance stopped covering it! I started at around 300 lbs, type 2 diabetic, completely out of control. Now I'm at 155 lbs and my diabetes is GONE! I've changed everything else in my life, of...

Fantastic work! So happy to see another Star Wars fan in the thread!!!

I had a similar experience when I bumped up to 1.7mg. The nausea was awful! I barely lost anything, and the fatigue was unreal. I ended up going back down a dose, and it helped a lot.

Dude, you're probably in better shape than most guys!

Excellent progress!

Great job, really well done 👍

I've also noticed that my cravings have totally changed since starting. I used to crave junk food all the time, but now I actually want fruits and veggies. It's so weird!

It definitely messes with your eating habits. Before Ozempic, I'd eat around noon. Now I'm starving by 5 PM.

Sema ranks highest for appetite suppression. Works great until it doesn't, then adding cagri (amylin angle) can make a real difference. I switched to tirzepatide early this year and it's been solid. Take time with your decision and pick what feels right.

That's so encouraging to hear Maybe I just need to be patient and let it do its thing. I'm definitely hoping for some blood sugar improvements too!

I know I'm probably being impatient, lol, but I've only dropped like 5 pounds in a month and I'm starting to freak out that it's not working for me. Hoping I see the same results as you by my 30th shot! Awesome progress!

I find it wild that people are so quick to judge meds for weight loss, but not for diabetes! Like preventing diabetes is somehow "cheating" but managing it isn't. Make it make sense!

Thanks! I'm happy with my progress. I still have about 25-30 pounds to lose, but I'm confident I'll get there. For constipation, my doctor recommended a daily stool softener. It's been a lifesaver. My nutritionist wants me off it, which is a work in progress. Some people recommend magnesium...
