Forty pounds is a serious number - the belly change is real even when the scale stalls.

302 at 5'11" with type 2 is where GLP-1 produces the strongest dual result - weight and blood sugar both move. Protein priority from day one.

Zero side effects post dose-finding is the trajectory that tends to hold long-term.

It's great when you start, and I wish you good luck! I've had good results - about 30 pounds lost in 3 months, very few side effects, and still on a pretty low dose.

I read that generic versions should be available soon, too. Super excited because paying out of pocket is insane. Hopefully prices drop significantly.

I honestly think I trust stuff sourced directly from overseas more than from a third party here. There are more opportunities in the supply chain for problems to happen.

Everyone reacts differently to the starting doses - some people feel the changes right away, some don't feel anything. My meals gradually got to be about half of what they used to be. Honestly the biggest thing for me is to listen to your body and stop when you feel full. Much harder than I...

Wow, that's intense. It's so important for people to understand everyone reacts differently. Always be aware of mental health changes, too. If you feel off, talk to your doctor ASAP.

Awesome. You might feel nauseous after the injection, but it usually disappears after a few shots.

I'm about to do my first shot tonight! Planning to do it right before bed to hopefully sleep through any queasiness. Best of luck to you!

I read that this orforglipron lowered A1C by an average of 1.3% to 1.6% in trials, and people lost about 8% of their weight. Those seem like solid numbers.

Oops, I totally misunderstood for a sec. I thought you meant levothyroxine users had to inject. Now I get that you meant the waiting part. (I have to take levothyroxine because I had my thyroid removed.)

It's not about trust for me, Pat_75. A ton of people just can't stand needles. I still think sticking with injectables is the way to go, even when this new pill gets approved.

So, Eli Lilly is aiming for FDA approval for an oral weight loss med before the year ends, based on their phase 3 trial results. Apparently, a pill showed significant weight loss. Here's a link to the article...

I tried it years ago. Gave me a lot of energy, but ruined my sleep. Lot of people have to stop taking it early on. Only buy a month's worth to test it. Lower doses might be better. I personally didn't have much appetite suppression.

My dogs were always super hungry when they got prednisone. Have you considered getting an epidural at a pain center? When my sciatica flares up, I like taking meloxicam 15 mg since it's only once a day. But naproxen twice a day is just as good. Of course, you can't use any NSAID with a...

I always found the McKenzie method helpful for self-directed physical therapy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K7e-n9f1LA

Cagri is even worse than budget reta: 1. CAGRI (the most budget wanna-be-GLP peptide, worldwide) 2. LIRAGLUTIDE (Indian discount GLP) 3. MAZDUTIDE (Chinese discount GLP) 4. SURVO (the best; the jam in the tirz-survo PB&J; easy compared to cagri)

You should also add gliptide to that stack.

Well, the vitamin C alters the pH of the cagri, so to cagrisema properly, you sema the survo, then inject cagri every Wednesday.
