I've used it for about two and a half years, lost around 18kg (109kg to 89kg). Actually happy with the slower progress – my skin is doing well. Some months are slow, others I lose 2kg out of nowhere. Everyone's different. Drink water, stay active, and eat healthy. Don't get discouraged! You'll...

I can't stand baggy clothes, so I started buying new jeans at discount stores. Check out those sales racks! Just don't buy too much since your size is likely to change again soon. My clothes are already starting to feel loose.

When I went from 0.75 mg sema, I began Reta at 1mg weekly after stopping sema. Didn't notice much at first, so I bumped it to 2 mg weekly after a couple of weeks. Thinking about going up to 3 mg after another month to see if it kicks in more.

Perhaps you're experiencing mild hypoglycemia? When blood sugar drops, the body often craves quick sources of glucose. I'd mention it to your doctor.

To add to Bee-IMO's point, some patients find relief by taking an antiemetic medication as prescribed by their doctor. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for managing your specific side effects.

The half-life of the medication is about 7 days, so after a week, you still have about half the dose in your system. After two weeks, it's almost gone. Since you were injecting every two weeks, you were basically dosing as soon as it was wearing off. At three weeks, you're starting from scratch...

I'm so over the relentless ads.

We like a powder that has a lot of protein but not many calories and no artificial sweeteners. We mix with ice, milk, banana flavor, and cookies n cream flavor. Half a serving is perfect for breakfast. There's a bit of a adjustment period for your stomach, but it resolves itself and the fiber...

From a medical perspective, remember that everyone responds differently to these medications. Plateaus are common, and it's essential to review your overall health strategy, including diet and exercise, before switching medications. Consider consulting with your doctor to discuss your individual...

I recommend the ones from 'Dare Life' that say Core Power! They have different amounts of protein in them, already made, no lactose, and taste great! It tastes like a real milkshake with no chalky taste. It's smooth, and I put a shot of espresso in mine to make a protein coffee. I recommend it!

You definitely can do this! Depending on your budget, consider switching to another GLP that sometimes has faster results for weight loss. Another option is using compounded versions of some medications. The easiest way is through a telehealth company. No insurance needed. You pay the provider...

Regarding skin elasticity after significant weight loss, several factors play a role. Age, genetics, and the speed of weight loss can all impact how well the skin retracts. Maintaining adequate hydration, a protein-rich diet, and incorporating collagen-boosting foods may help.

Incredible transformation! You look amazing!

Not everyone will require long-term GLP-1 medications, especially those who are not severely overweight, or those who have a BMI around [...truncated]

Fantastic work!

I definitely think some people will be able to stop GLP-1s and not gain weight back, or they'll gain it back more slowly. I also agree that changing your habits is key to long-term success. And I don't want to make it sound like an obesity diagnosis is an excuse to eat badly. I don't mean to...

People don't like to think about it, but mental effort is limited. There's a lot of evidence that people just work that way, whether they realize it or not. So, if keeping your weight down means always restricting food or forcing yourself to exercise, most people will eventually lose the ability...

I think most doctors now agree that obesity is a medical issue, not just a personal failing that can be fixed with diet and exercise. For people who are just a bit overweight and don't have other metabolic problems, those things might be enough – but they probably never needed a GLP-1 to begin...

The people you're asking about are probably the ones who would have the easiest time stopping GLP-1s. These meds were really intended for people with significant metabolic issues or obesity. There aren't many studies looking at what happens to people who are just a little overweight after they...
