I agree about protein intake! I emphasize protein with all my patients who are on GLP-1 meds for weight loss. It helps preserve muscle mass during rapid weight loss. The "Ozempic face" some people are talking about is usually just a result of losing a lot of fat in the face, which can make...

My vitamin D level is high and I still get allodynia. I just have to dial back the RETA dose sometimes. It moves around on me. Started on my face at first. I reduced my dose until it was gone, and then didn't feel it again for a few months until I went up in dose. Then someone suggested...

I wish I lost weight so easily! I stall out after a couple weeks at each dose. Going up 2mg this week since I'm gaining again and the allodynia is gone. Going from Mon 2, Wed 2, Fri 3 to Mon 3, Wed 3, Friday 3. I have two 30mg vials left, if I don't have better results by the time they are gone...

That sounds like allodynia. You might try dropping back a little on the dose until it fades. I usually see it happen when people are at higher doses or go up too fast. Happened to me at 8mg/week total. I switched to 2mg Mon, Wed, and 3mg Fri and it went away. Maybe try 1mg a week, or splitting...

Congrats on the awesome work!

An absolutely incredible transformation! Congrats on all your effort. Keep up the great work!

Looking good! Have you noticed unexpected improvements, like being able to climb stairs more easily, or clothes fitting differently?

Great job!! Happy Birthday!

Semaglutide success!

I thought that was a typo. I mean 20 oz is over a pound. No small vial is that heavy.

It's amazing how much these medications can help, but it's crucial to remember that diet and exercise remain vital for optimal results. The meds can help quiet the 'food noise' as Ready mentioned, but we still have to put in the work 💪.

They don't label? Thanks for the info. My first order from them arrives today, so I need to buy label stickers. I'm only getting one thing now but I am thinking about getting a few more things.

For anyone tracking their health metrics, don't put too much stock in BMI. If you have good muscle mass, your BMI can be higher even when you're fit. You look fantastic!

It's not just the shaking, you also have to think about how old the mixture is and if the temperature is controlled.

That’s amazing! So impressive 🥰🙏

I've seen a few people on Reddit talk about it. They usually decrease the dosage or lengthen the time between injections. One person went from 12.5mg every 10 days to 7.5mg every 10 days. Said they were holding steady between 148 and 153 pounds.

Wow, amazing transformation!

Think about how pharma pre-mixed pens are handled during shipping. It's probably not as gentle as how we're told to gently mix the powder before injecting. So the pharma version, which is already expensive, could be damaged. Plus, you should factor in the temperature and the age of the suspension.

For anyone just starting out, remember that consistency is key. Even small changes can make a big difference over time.

Congratulations 🎊 you look great
