Yeah, I figured this out after starting Reta. I find it interesting and wanna hear more stories from others in recovery who are using Reta.

Yep, happens to me.

OMG, I'm pretty much in the same situation! Around 19 pounds gone in about 6 months. I thought it was slow, but you know what? I'll take it. I couldn't have done this alone. Would've probably added 20 pounds if I hadn't used the meds, lol.

Alright y'all, buckle up. This is gonna get personal, but hopefully it'll help someone else out there. I've been clean and sober for a solid decade, since January 2016. I'm at a point where I don't even think about drinking or using anymore. Like many of you, I got interested in Retatrutide as a...

Congrats! Did you consider a tummy tuck for any loose skin?

If you tend to overeat, try using smaller plates and utensils, or even chopsticks. It will slow you down and help you realize you're full before you feel stuffed. I usually aim for about 1/4 cup of food, wait 25-30 minutes. If I'm still hungry, I eat a couple more bites and wait again.

If you're hitting 24 draws and desperate to fiddle with the stopper, honestly a pen solves all that without creating new headaches.

Don't wait until you feel full to stop eating. Reduce your portions dramatically. If you think about not wanting another bite, stop. It's a learning process, but you'll get the hang of it.

first week loss was five pounds but nearly all water weight from the dose stopping overeating. had been eating too much high carb salty food so retained water. that's what fell off fast.

Fantastic work!

Mad at myself for the trap. Add so I struggle waking up. Thought my brain was glitching. Rushed, hadn't planned to log in but had items to share before my schedule. No time to deal with forum restrictions to make a topic, already behind.

Higher doses trigger allergic responses and severe itching at injection sites over 1mg. Subcutaneous causes unbearable redness and itch; intramuscular leads to muscle swelling. No systemic reaction yet but I stay vigilant. At 1mg intramuscular I'm fine. Do not jump to 5-10mg without testing...

Yeah, I'm curious about this too. I'm trying to figure out my own regimen so any tips would be appreciated!

That's awesome! Woo-hoo!

Order too-big first. Now I fit shop changing room sizes and come out with smallest option.

YES! I was all excited for clearance candy and then... I just didn't care! I didn't even buy anything. It was so weird!

Incredible

"It's about seeking nutrition now not satisfying hunger" I totally agree! You said it perfectly, I couldn't figure out how to express it. It's changing my relationship with food, and I can finally make healthy choices. Congratulations on your progress and keeping it healthy!

I'm no doctor, but if I were in your spot I'd slowly dial the dose down and keep a really close eye on my weight and hunger. Seems like there's probably a lower dose where you could just hold steady and use the GLP to manage appetite without losing more weight.
